Wallpaper - Malibu Retro Vibe

Our Malibu Retro Vibe wallpaper, designed by Omar Escalante, pairs six tall palm trees with a bold orange square and a clean, warm background. The dark blue fronds arch with graphic precision across the vibrant saffron tone, evoking a 1970s screenprint aesthetic. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is its flat, modern composition, balancing high-contrast botanical silhouettes with clean geometric structure. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an energetic retro character to any wall.

In the room

Because the composition centers on a distinct geometric block and tall vertical silhouettes, we think this design works best on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa allows the full height of the palm trees and the saturated orange background to remain in clear view. It also makes a lively statement in a dining room, bedroom, or teenage room where you want the wall to carry the primary visual interest. For compact spaces like a powder room or bathroom, positioning the mural where it can be seen upon entering gives the room an immediate focal point without feeling cluttered.

Styling it

To balance the strong graphical quality and saturated palette of this design, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and relatively grounded.

Low-profile furniture in warm woods or simple painted finishes helps anchor the space while letting the vertical lines of the palms draw the eye upwards. Mid-century modern sideboards, low credenzas, or minimalist bed frames work especially well with the retro look. When introducing textiles, we would choose solid woven fabrics in neutral tones rather than competing patterns, allowing the bold colour block on the wall to remain the centerpiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The design features deep navy blue fronds set against a warm saffron orange and soft, light background.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and large surfaces, we suggest working with the palette rather than overwhelming it. Soft off-whites, warm creams, and pale sandy tones create a calm perimeter that lets the orange field stand out cleanly. If you prefer deeper tones, pulling the dark blue from the palm leaves into painted doors, skirting boards, or accent furniture creates a grounded, cohesive look across the entire interior.
