Wallpaper - Checkerboard Floral I

Our Checkerboard Floral I wallpaper, designed by Sarah Adams, brings an expressive still life into the room with graphic confidence. The composition features a bold yellow vase detailed with black stripes, filled with leafy stems and vibrant pink flowers set against a deep army green backdrop. Beneath the vase, a beige and black checkerboard surface grounds the illustration, establishing an engaging dialogue between clean geometric structure and organic botanicals. With its painted ink aesthetic, distinct outlines, and earthy color balance, this design delivers a playful, art-led statement for a feature wall. Like all Wallism wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the motif is designed as a singular, graphic still life, we like seeing this wallpaper positioned where the entire composition can be appreciated from a distance. In a living room, it works naturally on an open accent wall behind a sofa or low credenza, giving the artwork breathing room without tall furniture cutting across the vase. In a home studio or creative workspace, the combination of geometric grids and floral forms creates an energetic focal point that defines the character of the space.

Styling it

To let the illustrative character of our mural wallpapers take the lead, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively calm and grounded in form. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery lets the bold shapes of the artwork stand out naturally. For materials, warm medium-toned woods such as teak or walnut complement the earthy army green base, while matte black metal accents pick up on the graphic line work throughout the striped vase and checkerboard base.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a deep army green background, enriched by the sunny yellow of the vase, soft beige, crisp black lines, and vivid pops of pink in the petals. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, warm neutral shades like soft oatmeal or muted putty echo the lighter checks in the design without competing. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deep olive and army green tones on surrounding woodwork creates a cohesive backdrop that lets the bright yellow and pink elements truly stand out.
