Wallpaper - Breakaway

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Breakaway wallpaper draws inspiration from the expressive geometric rhythms of the 1970s. The repeating composition pairs concentric quatrefoil motifs and diamond-shaped medallions with rippling concentric line work, creating a screenprint-inspired character with noticeable visual movement. Saturated coral and warm orange tones are framed by deep olive-charcoal outlines, soft cream, and muted sage accents, giving the repeat a rhythmic, retro energy. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a confident focal point for contemporary and vintage-led interiors alike.

In the room

Because of the high-contrast linear detail and medium pattern scale, we see this working particularly well on an accent wall where the full geometric rhythm can be appreciated without feeling crowded. In a living room, placing this design behind a sofa or along a main entertaining wall anchors the seating area and brings a warm, playful personality into the space.

The vertical and diagonal lines also give the design a natural fluidity that suits transitional areas. In a hallway or along a staircase, the repeating concentric forms guide the eye upward, transforming narrower walls that might otherwise feel plain. When used in smaller rooms, keeping the adjacent walls in a lighter neutral helps the bold pattern stand out clearly without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To balance the dynamic geometry of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing them with grounded furniture shapes and considered material choices:

• Choose furniture with clean, rounded silhouettes, such as mid-century curved armchairs or low-profile credenzas, which echo the soft contours of the quatrefoils.
• Introduce warm wood tones like teak, walnut, or honeyed oak to reinforce the 1970s character and bring natural depth against the orange and coral palette.
• Keep surrounding textiles relatively quiet, opting for solid-colour upholstery and unpatterned rugs so the wallpaper remains the clear visual focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich coral and warm orange, balanced by dark olive outlines, muted sage green, and clean off-white highlights. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, skirting boards, or cabinetry, pulling out the softer cream or pale sage creates a calm, cohesive backdrop that lets the orange tones pop. For a deeper, more dramatic interior scheme, matching woodwork or adjacent doors to the dark charcoal-olive outlines frames the design with striking definition.
