Retro Wallpaper - 70s, 80s and Vintage-Inspired Designs

Retro Wallpaper - 70s, 80s and Vintage-Inspired Design

Retro wallpaper celebrates the bold graphic design sensibility of the 1970s, 80s and 90s - mushroom prints, geometric patterns, earthy palettes and the distinctive shapes of each decade. Back in fashion and better than ever. Custom sized, produced in Australia.

Retro Wallpaper - Vintage Aesthetics for Modern Interiors

What counts as retro wallpaper has shifted - the 1970s are now classic rather than nostalgic. Mushroom prints, earthy terracotta and brown geometric patterns, bold abstract shapes and vintage botanical prints all fall under the retro umbrella. 1980s retro brings pastels, geometric patterns and the Memphis aesthetic. 1990s retro is increasingly popular - bold abstract prints, irregular shapes and acid-bright accents. The common thread is pattern confidence - retro wallpaper is not shy. Every design is custom sized to your exact wall dimensions.
