Mid-Century vs Geometric Wallpaper: What's the Difference?

Quick answer

Mid-Century: Mid-century motifs – atomic stars, boomerangs and pebbles – capture the optimism of 1950s design. Geometric: Geometric wallpaper ranges from crisp mid-century triangles to soft Moorish arches. In practice: Use on a single living-room wall behind a sideboard for maximum retro impact. Small-scale geometrics make hallways feel smart and considered; large-scale ones can visually widen narrow rooms when hung horizontally. Our range has 59 mid-century and 245 geometric designs.
