@dysfun Gamecube purple. You may be on to something. I wouldn't mind having a good old retrowave wallpaper as a literal wallpaper. Problem with wallpaper is that the walls do not lend themselves well to wall papering. It's all rough-grain wood panelling, so I'd need to fix that first. And then there's the cost of wallpaper with your own image on it. It'd be around €800 just for the one wall.

If I had the mad graffiti skills, I'd just paint it on (although I hear paint brush cans are pretty expensive too), but alas, that is something I do not posess.

The previous owner of this house painted the bedroom moss/dark green. I'm not convinced I'd like that in the retro room (or, in fact, in the bedroom).

I might end up trying my hand at the simplest of simplest of retrowave patterns. A big orange / yellow ball but with bars of increasing size showing the purple background. Or something like that.

Or maybe I'll just go for gamecube purple all around :)

@gmc @BjornW @dysfun ah...okay. and yes, I didn't point you to the cheapest solution. But the wood panelling doesn't help either. My not so retro Xbox setup just got this slight retro-vibe with this wallpaper from Hornbach, which was way cheaper

@geogoeroe Love the saying on the lettering board. Resonates with my abilities ;-) The wallpaper is also pretty cool get some some 60s/70s vibes from it.

@gmc if you want to have a painting on the wall. I know some people in Rotterdam that are offering these types of services. Maybe they know people in your neck of the woods. If you want I can ask them.

@geogoeroe That is a nice wallpaper indeed! Maybe I will egalize the walls and go for wallpaper after all. Bit more work than just slapping on some paint, but the result is more pleasing.

@BjornW Doesn't hurt to ask! It's literally 'woods' here though, we just moved to Eda, close to the border between Sweden and Norway. Oslo is just 1.5 hours away though, and Göteborg isn't that far away either (relatively speaking), those are the nearest places where I'd expect large enough concentrations of artistic people for such things to exist :)
