Wallpaper - Seventies Waves

Our Seventies Waves wallpaper by Lisa Wirenfelt brings together playful abstract forms with a distinct retro graphic character. A wavy cobalt blue line sweeps across the off-white ground, interacting with an irregular orange form, a soft green rounded shape, and a circular blue element with an open centre. The individual motifs carry a visible brushstroke-like texture that gives the abstract composition an expressive, hand-crafted feel without cluttering the wall. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a spirited design statement for contemporary homes.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in living rooms, home offices, and creative studios where an open, artistic focal point is welcome. Because the forms are generous and set against a clear, pale background, the composition has room to breathe on wider uninterrupted walls. In a living room, positioning it behind a low-backed sofa allows the rhythmic blue wave and rounded shapes to remain fully visible. It also suits bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms, where its whimsical forms introduce visual interest without demanding heavy contrast. For a hallway or study, placing it on a single feature wall provides an uplifting backdrop that does not overpower compact proportions.

Styling it

The graphic shapes and clear lines pair naturally with contemporary, eclectic, or mid-century modern interiors. We would balance the expressive shapes with furniture that features clean, uncomplicated silhouettes, such as low-profile seating or streamlined shelving. Warm wood tones, such as teak or light oak, create a grounded counterpoint to the primary and pastel tones in the print. Surrounding accessories can lean into simple ceramic pieces or smooth painted surfaces to let the graphic movement on the wall remain the central feature of the space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a lively palette of cobalt blue, bright orange, soft green, and gentle pastel accents over an off-white base. When painting adjacent walls or selecting woodwork, we suggest choosing an off-white or soft warm cream to mirror the background and keep the room cohesive. If you prefer deeper contrast, introducing surrounding elements in navy or cobalt creates a tailored, deliberate connection to the dominant blue forms. For accents, touches of muted terracotta, olive green, or soft apricot echo the secondary shapes without competing with the main composition.
