Wallpaper - Ornamental Checkers no.I

Our Ornamental Checkers no.I wallpaper brings graphic energy to the wall with a bold, symmetrical checkerboard layout anchored in black, beige, soft blue, and red. At the focal point, an abstract central figure with prominent rabbit-like ears commands attention, framed by a playful sequence of circular and semi-circular geometric forms in green, red, yellow, and black. Drawing on retro Postmodern and Memphis-inspired aesthetics, the screenprint-style motif balances structured gridwork with expressive flat illustration. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, produced on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the central figure and geometric checkerboard create an immediate visual anchor, we see this design working especially well as a focal point in a living room, dining area, or creative home office. In an open-plan living room, placing this wallpaper on an uninterrupted main wall allows the symmetrical grid and surrounding colorful shapes to register clearly without interruption from tall cabinetry. It also brings distinct personality to a teenage room or an entryway where you want an immediate graphic impact. For smaller spaces, keeping the adjacent walls neutral gives the bold composition room to breathe, while in larger rooms it comfortably commands the visual balance of the entire interior.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take center stage, we recommend pairing the design with clean-lined furniture that echoes its retro, mid-century modern or Postmodern influences. Low-profile seating with simple silhouettes keeps sightlines clear to the central motif, while rounded furniture shapes, such as an oval dining table or curved lounge chair, naturally pick up on the circular and semi-circular elements in the print.

When choosing materials, warm wood tones like ash or natural birch soften the high-contrast checkerboard grid without competing for attention. Matte black painted surfaces or streamlined metal details can also tie back into the dark framing elements of the artwork, keeping the overall interior feeling cohesive, deliberate, and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a lively palette combining deep black and neutral beige checker squares with primary accents of red, blue, yellow, and crisp green. When styling around it, we suggest pulling directly from the softer beige or off-white tones for adjacent painted walls and woodwork to maintain a bright, balanced background. If you want to introduce bolder accent colors through dining chairs, table lamps, or soft cushions, echoing the primary red, warm yellow, or forest green from the central motif creates a thoughtful connection across the room.
