Wallpaper - Ocean Rainbow

Our Ocean Rainbow wallpaper, created by Carrie Cantwell, brings an earthy, retro-inspired aesthetic to the wall through layered concentric arches. The composition stacks warm bands of pale peach, soft pink, burnt orange, and rich brick red over a deep teal baseline, creating the visual impression of an abstract sunset meeting the horizon. Subtle brushstroke details give the geometric forms a painted look with a softer graphic presence. We produce this design as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural printed on wallpaper paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while scaling the arches to your exact wall proportions.

In the room

Because the concentric arches create an expansive horizontal rhythm anchored by the teal base, we particularly like this design on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or bedroom. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or headboard allows the upper curve of the warm arches to remain clearly visible, giving the entire room an earthy focal point. The balanced geometry also works well in a home office, teenage bedroom, or playroom, where the bold 1970s revival feel adds warmth without visual clutter. In rooms with ample daylight, the contrast between the sunny terracotta shades and the cooler teal band reads especially crisp and defined.

Styling it

• Anchor the retro mood with low-slung furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or medium oak, which complement the earthy brick and burnt orange arches.
• Choose surrounding upholstery and seating in simple, textured woven fabrics in natural cream or muted clay so the graphic mural wallpapers remain the visual centerpiece.
• Bring in a few clean architectural accents in matte black or dark teal to mirror the sharp grounding band along the bottom of the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself combines a rich terracotta palette of brick red, burnt orange, pale peach, and soft dusty pink against a deep, grounding teal. When considering adjacent walls, we suggest soft warm off-whites, gentle linen tones, or muted beige paint to keep the focus firmly on the mural. For a more enveloping, design-led scheme, you could pull the deep teal or a dusty brick tone onto surrounding trim, baseboards, or built-in shelving.
