Mid Century Wallpaper

Our collection of mid century wallpaper brings the celebrated design era to your home with a clean, modern feel. You will find bold abstract murals and stylised botanical prints in rich shades of terracotta, ochre, and olive green. Every mural is printed to the exact dimensions of your wall for a perfect fit. We recommend ordering a sample to see the colours and scale in your own light before you commit to a full mural.

Pairing Colours and Materials

The mid-century modern aesthetic is defined by its connection to nature and its use of honest materials. Our collection reflects this with a palette of warm, earthy tones. Colours like terracotta, clay, and orange create a welcoming atmosphere and pair beautifully with the dark woods, such as teak and walnut, that are hallmarks of the era. Designs like the Terracotta Arch Abstract Mural use simple forms and rich colour to create a focal point that feels both bold and grounded. When planning your room, consider how these warm hues will complement your existing furniture and flooring.

Alongside the earthy tones, our palette includes grounding greens, from deep olive to soft sage. These shades bring the outdoors in, another core principle of mid-century design. Botanical motifs, such as the stylised leaves in our Sage Banana Leaf Tropical Mural, work especially well in living rooms and bedrooms to add organic character. This colour scheme also works well with brass accents, textured fabrics like boucle, and low-slung furniture.

Selecting the Right Pattern and Scale

Mid-century patterns range from playful geometrics to stylised natural forms. When choosing a design, consider the scale of the pattern in relation to your room's size and function. Large-scale abstract or botanical prints can make a feature wall feel expansive and artful, drawing the eye and adding depth. In a smaller room or a space with lots of furniture, a more repetitive, smaller-scale geometric might feel more balanced and less overwhelming. Our mid century modern wallpaper is designed to make a statement without dominating the space, using clean lines and uncluttered compositions.

Every mural is printed to the exact measurements of your wall, which means the pattern will be perfectly scaled for your space. To ensure you order the correct amount, it is essential to measure your wall accurately. We have a detailed guide on how to measure for wallpaper, which walks you through the process step by step.
