Wallpaper - Ornamental Checkers no.II

Our Ornamental Checkers no.II wallpaper brings together symmetrical geometric forms and expressive graphic illustration inspired by Art Nouveau and decorative screenprint traditions. Set against a deep black ground with delicate speckled detailing, the composition layers stylised wing-like plumes, scale patterns, and linear borders in vibrant turquoise, rich cobalt blue, moss green, warm red, and golden yellow. What we especially like about this design is the balance between its orderly kaleidoscopic symmetry and the rich visual texture across each element. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, it creates a striking focal point with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because the kaleidoscopic pattern has strong visual symmetry and vivid contrast, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a creative home studio, a dedicated reading area, or a vibrant living room. Giving this wallpaper a central, uninterrupted wall allows the complete mirror structure and vertical rhythm of the wings to unfold fully. The bold composition carries significant graphic weight, so placing it behind a low sofa or along a main feature wall lets the pattern anchor the entire room without feeling fragmented by tall shelving.

Styling it

To let the detailed geometry take centre stage, we would pair this design with furniture featuring clean, grounded silhouettes. Modern seating in solid upholstery balances the intricate motif, while dark painted accents or matte black metal hardware can echo the wallpaper's deep ground. Natural timber, particularly mid-toned or darker woods, adds warmth that harmonises with the golden ochre and red details in the print. We suggest keeping surrounding patterned textiles to a minimum so the wall remains the primary artistic statement.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a bold, jewel-toned palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, vivid red, moss green, and golden yellow, all grounded by a solid black background with soft cream undertones. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, trim, or large furniture, you could draw out the deep black or soft off-white to create a crisp, tailored frame around the mural. Alternatively, bringing in deep olive, forest green, or warm terracotta in surrounding upholstery and decor picks up the secondary shades in the design for a rich, cohesive interior.
