Retro wallpaper

Retro wallpaper is a custom printed wall design based on the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. The 70s lead the way, with groovy curves, warm rust, and cheerful daisy prints. We scale each mural to your space and print it to your exact size. So there are no odd seams and no wasted material.

Our team has made vintage wallpaper for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and shops. You might want a cute floral print or a funky 70s pattern. Either way, the design fits your room. Each retro mural wallpaper is ready to hang, with clean edges and rich color. We print every mural to order, so the scale matches your wall.

Retro vs Vintage vs Mid Century

Retro, vintage, and mid century are related but not the same. Retro means new designs inspired by past decades, mostly the 50s to 80s. Vintage means older, authentic styles, while mid century points to clean 1950s and 1960s shapes.

Why Retro Wallpaper Works in Every Room

Retro wallpaper suits almost any room and any mood. A geometric print can anchor a living room. A soft daisy pattern can calm a bedroom. For a fun kitchen, try a checkerboard or sunburst in mustard and burnt orange. If you like bold looks, our bold geometric patterns add sharp shapes to any feature wall.

70s Wallpaper and Groovy Decade Style

The 70s look is our most requested retro wallpaper style by far. A 70s wallpaper leans into groovy curves, warm rust, mustard, and avocado green. Think mushroom motifs, big daisies, and bold sunburst shapes. Sixties mod prints bring sharp circles and bright flower power color. For an 80s vibe, go graphic with playful pastel shapes.

Vintage Wallpaper Styles and Warm Colors

Vintage looks never really left, and modern retro keeps them fresh. Warm palettes lead the way, from burnt orange and teal to soft pastel and brown. Add pop art or an art deco print for a bolder statement. A vintage wall mural pairs well with teak furniture and simple, clean decor. You can even mix eras for an eclectic, boho retro feel.

Renters and DIY fans love an option that leaves walls clean. Our self adhesive and peel and stick formats need no paste or special tools. A retro peel and stick wallpaper works well in apartments and small spaces. Browse the full peel and stick range for a temporary look you can swap later.
