Wallpaper - African Flair

Our African Flair wallpaper, created in collaboration with Anne Tavoletti, brings together a row of illustrated ceramic vessels rendered in an expressive watercolor-like style. The composition features five distinct decorative pots and vases resting side by side, detailed with geometric bands, circular motifs, and earthy sienna, ochre, warm brown, and muted green tones. Soft line-drawn geometric emblems float subtly across the light backdrop, giving the overall design a relaxed, curated feel. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love seeing this mural wallpaper in a living room, dining area, or creative home studio where the scale of the illustrated ceramics can really be appreciated. Because the artwork is arranged horizontally along a baseline, it works beautifully across an uninterrupted feature wall or positioned neatly behind low furniture such as a sideboard, low sofa, or low bench. The open, light background keeps the room feeling airy, while the rich, earthy tones in the pottery provide a grounded focal point that draws the eye across the space.

Styling it

When styling around our African Flair design, we suggest leaning into natural finishes and honest craftsmanship to echo the artisanal theme of the pottery.

Low-profile wooden furniture in warm oak, teak, or walnut pairs naturally with the sienna and terracotta pigments in the artwork. We also like pairing this wallpaper with textural woven elements such as jute, rattan, or linen, which complement the illustrated character without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding wall decor minimal allows the vessels in the mural to take center stage.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a warm palette anchored by sienna, clay brown, muted forest green, ochre yellow, and gentle cream. To create a cohesive room scheme, we recommend drawing out these grounded tones on surrounding painted surfaces:

• Warm off-white or soft linen tones on adjoining walls to let the light background of the mural blend into the room.
• Rich sienna, terracotta, or burnt ochre on painted woodwork or accent upholstery to mirror the warmth of the central vases.
• Muted olive or moss green on textiles and decorative accents to tie in the darker green details in the vessels.
