Wallpaper - Star Spangled

Created by Beth Grove, our Star Spangled wallpaper brings an expressive, watercolor-like interpretation to the classic American flag motif. The design captures the fluid movement of waving red stripes and white stars set against deep indigo blue, complete with delicate paint splatters and translucent washes that lend it a soft, painterly character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a bold visual statement while maintaining a gentle, handcrafted look on the wall.

In the room

Because of the sweeping horizontal motion and iconic graphic composition, we see this design working especially well as a focal point in a home study, library, or dedicated workspace. Giving the wallpaper a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full movement of the painted flag and the watercolor washes to unfold without feeling crowded. The rich cherry red and indigo tones create an inviting, grounded atmosphere in a study, particularly when placed behind a desk or alongside built-in shelving where the pattern can anchor the room.

Styling it

To let the expressive painterly motif take center stage, we recommend pairing this design with grounded, traditional elements and understated furnishings.

• Ground the room with warm, mid-to-dark tone woods, such as walnut, cherry, or antique oak, which naturally complement the nostalgic Americana aesthetic.
• Balance the vibrant red and blue hues with simple, tactile upholstery in natural tones, such as weathered leather or off-white canvas.
• Incorporate subtle metal finishes in aged brass or blackened iron for desk lamps and hardware, reinforcing the classic character without adding unnecessary shine.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centers on cherry red watercolor washes, deep indigo and navy blue, and soft off-white paper tones. When choosing paint or accents for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm whites and cream shades offer a clean backdrop that lets the red and blue pop. For a cozier, more cocooned study, surrounding trim and cabinetry painted in a muted navy or deep slate gray picks up the darker blue tones from the canton, creating a cohesive, design-led space.
