Wallpaper - Fly Away Gold

Our Fly Away Gold wallpaper by Shirley Novak brings expressive, painterly movement to a room through sweeping brushstrokes of bold yellow and deep cobalt blue set against a white backdrop. Accents of lighter blue and soft gray give the open background extra visual depth, while fine yellow speckles add a lively, detailed touch across the composition. What we particularly appreciate about this abstract wall mural is the fluid, energetic balance between the saturated primary marks and the lighter surrounding space. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this design is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In an open living room or a dedicated creative home art studio, we would place this design on a generous, uninterrupted feature wall. Because the sweeping brush marks carry a strong sense of direction and rhythm, giving the motif plenty of continuous wall area allows the full flow of the painted forms to be appreciated without being broken up by tall cabinetry or heavy shelving. The crisp white background keeps the overall feel light and open, making it comfortable to live with across larger spaces while still serving as a distinct artistic focal point behind a sofa or low workspace.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture relatively calm and clean-lined to let the dynamic brushwork take center stage. Contemporary or minimalist furniture silhouettes in muted neutral upholstery, such as light gray or soft white, pair naturally with the open backdrop. For materials, light natural wood or understated painted finishes work well to complement the painterly character without competing with the vibrant yellow and cobalt elements.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features bold popping yellow, deep cobalt blue, soft light blues, subtle grays, and a balanced white base. When decorating around this design, we suggest drawing out the cooler undertones with crisp off-white or light slate gray on adjacent walls and woodwork. Alternatively, you can echo the warmer energy of the motif by introducing small, considered yellow accents through decorative cushions, throws, or ceramic pieces elsewhere in the room.
