Wallpaper - Chevalier

Our Chevalier wallpaper captures the bold architectural grandeur of the 1930s Art Deco movement with striking vertical columns, rhythmic stepped arches, and geometric symmetry. Rich shades of dark orange, warm terracotta, and sand stand in sharp contrast against deep slate green and dark charcoal geometric planes, giving the motif a dramatic, painted visual depth. As with all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

In a living room or a dedicated study, Chevalier creates an immediate architectural focal point. Because the design has a commanding central composition with strong upward lines, we think it works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted accent wall where the full geometric balance can unfold without being clipped by doors or tall cabinetry. The tall, pillar-like structures give a sense of height, making it an excellent choice behind a low-profile sofa, a credenza, or positioned behind a desk. In spaces with generous natural light, the granular, painted textures and the rich warmth of the orange tones stand out clearly, while softer evening lighting brings out the depth of the dark, angled shadows.

Styling it

To let the strong geometric forms of our mural wallpapers take centre stage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Mid-century or Art Deco inspired silhouettes in warm, dark woods such as walnut work naturally with the architectural character of the design, grounding the space without competing for visual attention.

We would pair this wall mural with tailored upholstery in textured bouclé or smooth velvet, choosing quiet neutral tones to balance the graphic energy of the wall. Matte black or warm bronze accents in table lamps or desk hardware echo the dark structural outlines in the print, tying the room together in a cohesive, considered way.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich, earthy dark orange, warm amber, and pale sandy cream, grounded by deep slate teal and shadowed charcoal. When planning adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend drawing directly from these contrasting tones.

A muted, warm off-white or soft linen shade on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling balanced and open while allowing the wallpaper to remain the clear hero. For a moodier, enveloping atmosphere in a study or reading room, painting trims or adjacent walls in a deep slate green or dark moss creates a seamless connection to the darker geometric facets within the design.
