Wallpaper - Racing

Our Racing wallpaper features an expressive vintage race car illustration by Michael Clark, rendered with the painterly character of visible brushwork. The design centers on a turquoise-blue classic racing car set against a warm yellow field, framed by deep blue painted borders that give the artwork a framed, gallery-style composition. It brings a playful, energetic presence to a wall while maintaining a distinctly artistic, mid-century feel. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and creates an immediate focal point in modern family spaces.

In the room

Because the motif is designed like a bold, self-contained painted canvas, we see this working best as a central feature wall. It naturally belongs in a nursery, toddler room, children's bedroom, or dedicated playroom where its spirited subject and cheerful palette bring warmth and character. To let the car motif and its contrasting frame stand out clearly, we would place it on a relatively open wall across from the entrance or behind a low bed or play table, keeping tall wardrobes or high shelving to the adjacent walls.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding furnishings relatively simple to balance the energetic, high-contrast artwork. Lighter wood furniture, such as natural birch or pale pine, complements the bright yellow background and keeps a playroom or child's bedroom feeling airy. Simple painted storage pieces in soft off-white or muted navy echo the border tones without competing for visual attention. For soft furnishings, solid-colored textiles in calm blues or pale pinks pick up the subtle details in the car's wheels and number roundel while maintaining a relaxed, uncluttered feel.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers around a palette of clear turquoise, sunny yellow, and deep ocean blue, with gentle pink and slate accents in the car details. When painting adjacent walls or selecting trim, warm whites and soft cream shades create a gentle, clean backdrop that lets the primary design shine. For a cozier, more enveloping room scheme, bringing a coordinating mid-tone blue onto the surrounding walls or window frames will tie the entire space together seamlessly.
