Retro Murals

Made-to-measure retro wallpaper brings the spirit of the twentieth century back to your wall and prints it to the exact size you give us. Graphic patterns from the seventies, soft pastels from the fifties and flowing shapes with a hint of vintage glamour are composed as one continuous mural across your wall. You tell us the width and height of the wall, the motif is laid out to fit, and the wallpaper joins seamlessly with no awkward pattern jumps or untidy cut edges.

Why a mural is the best base for made-to-measure retro wallpaper

A mural behaves differently from roll wallpaper. The design is spread across the whole wall, so a large graphic motif reaches its full effect and you never see a clipped repeat. Retro styles benefit from this in particular: bold blocks of colour, symmetrical shapes and clean lines need room and scale. The prints are sharp and colourfast, and because everything is produced to your wall size you never have to juggle a pattern that almost fits. We print as standard on sturdy non-woven wallpaper, which is dimensionally stable and arrives as numbered drops that you hang from left to right.

Colours and combinations that make made-to-measure retro wallpaper work

Retro leans on recognisable colour families. Warm tones such as mustard yellow, terracotta, avocado green and burnt orange instantly evoke the sixties and seventies and sit beautifully with wood, rattan and walnut-toned furniture. If you prefer something lighter, the soft powder pink, mint green and baby blue of the fifties make a lovely base alongside white-painted trim and pale floors. A design with a gold or bronze sheen adds the shine of the art deco era; carry that effect through with accents from our metallic wallpaper collection. Keep the furniture and textiles around a busy retro mural calm, so the pattern keeps the leading role.

Where made-to-measure retro wallpaper looks its best

Always choose one wall as the accent and the whole room stays balanced. Behind the sofa or the television unit in the living room, a large graphic motif naturally becomes the focal point of the space. Above the bed, a softer retro print gives the bedroom an enveloping, cosy mood. In a hallway, stairwell or dining room the wall is welcome to speak up: in pass-through spaces a bold motif goes down well all year round. If you like the clean side of retro, compare the geometric wallpaper collection as well.
