Wallpaper - Street Machines II

Our Street Machines II wallpaper, created by Pela Studio, captures a classic Americana motorsport aesthetic with its bold vintage motorcycle motif and retro typography. Centred around a detailed motorcycle silhouette, the graphic features the weathered quote "Live to Ride & Ride to Live" in off-white, beige, and black lettering. The distressed stone blue and teal backdrop carries aged brown nuances that give the print a screenprinted, retro poster look. Printed as custom made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings strong graphic character to an accent wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal feature in spaces dedicated to personal hobbies, relaxation, or creativity. In a garage workshop, den, or hobby room, the strong central graphic gives the room an immediate identity without requiring heavy wall decor around it. It also fits naturally into a teenage bedroom or home gym where a graphic, energetic theme is welcome. Because the motif is framed like a vintage screenprint, we suggest placing it on a central, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full typography and motorcycle silhouette can be seen clearly from across the room.

Styling it

To complement the retro garage feel of our mural wallpapers, we would lean towards utilitarian or industrial-inspired elements. Furniture made from darker reclaimed timber or blackened metal pairs naturally with the rugged character of the motorcycle illustration.

Keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and functional lets the bold graphic take centre stage. Simple workbenches, vintage storage lockers, or clean-lined shelving in dark finishes reinforce the mid-century Americana mood without competing with the detailed central print.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a cool, weathered stone blue background with worn brown undertones, balanced by crisp off-white, warm beige, and deep charcoal in the lettering.

When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, cool slate greys and warm off-whites create a balanced, cohesive backdrop. For a moodier, more grounded interior, deep charcoal or muted olive tones pick up on the darker accents in the bike graphic, while subtle tan or cognac leather accents introduce warmth alongside the cool teal ground.
