Wallpaper - The Functionalist, Multi

Our The Functionalist, Multi wallpaper brings together a lively grid of circles, semi-circles, triangles, and arcs inspired by retro and postmodern aesthetics. Set against a soft cornflower blue backdrop, playful geometric cut-outs in yellow, pastel pink, crisp white, and graphic black create a balanced visual rhythm across the surface. The design combines structured Bauhaus clarity with the joyful character of the Memphis movement, offering an energetic focal point for creative spaces. Each of our wallpapers is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces that welcome a creative, expressive touch, such as a playroom, a teenage room, or a dedicated home art studio. Because the pattern relies on an orderly square grid, it holds its structure well across both compact walls and wider, open wall expanses. In a playroom or creative hobby room, placing the design on an accent wall behind a low storage unit or craft table allows the geometric shapes to animate the room without competing with taller furniture. If you choose to wrap multiple walls in a teenage bedroom or studio, the soft cornflower blue base keeps the overall atmosphere light and composed despite the high-contrast graphic elements.

Styling it

To balance the graphic geometry of this design, we suggest keeping larger furniture relatively clean-lined and understated. Modern lacquered pieces in matte white or soft grey provide a calm foundation that lets the pastel and black motifs take centre stage. For seating and shelving, pale woods such as birch or ash complement the cornflower blue ground naturally, keeping the interior looking fresh and uncluttered. If you want to echo the design's playful personality, you can introduce small decorative accents, such as a sculptural desk lamp or ceramic objects, in muted yellow or soft rose.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a soft cornflower blue base paired with accents of pastel pink, warm yellow, solid black, and clean white. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, a neutral off-white or very pale grey provides an easy, cohesive transition. If you prefer a richer, more immersive palette, pulling a matching cornflower blue onto adjacent walls or door trims highlights the grid structure while maintaining a harmonious backdrop.
