Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between mid-century and retro wallpaper?
Mid-century design covers the 1940s–60s — think atomic shapes, clean lines, and geometric balance. “Retro” is broader and can reference any vintage-inspired style from the 50s through the 80s. Mid-century tends to feel more refined, organic, and timeless.

Will mid-century wallpaper look too retro?
Not at all. These patterns remain popular because they blend vintage charm with modern simplicity. Choose refined geometrics or soft florals for a timeless look.

Can mid-century wallpaper work in modern homes?
Absolutely! The clean lines and balanced shapes pair perfectly with minimalist furniture, adding warmth and personality to sleek spaces.

Which rooms work best?
Dining rooms, home offices, and bedrooms are great choices. But hallways, kitchens, and even powder rooms can also benefit from a touch of retro flair.

How do I style it without going full vintage?
Let the wallpaper be the statement piece. Pair it with modern lighting, neutral furnishings, and subtle décor to keep things fresh and contemporary.
