Wallpaper - Stylish Sayings IX

Our Stylish Sayings IX wallpaper brings a bold, uplifting graphic statement to the wall with the encouraging phrase "Do Big Things". Designed by Anne Tavoletti, the motif centers on an oval focal point framed by a dotted gold-toned border, presenting the message in a vibrant mix of light blue, bold red, and mustard yellow lettering. Behind the graphic, vertical sage green and white stripes provide an orderly structure, softened by a painted watercolour look across the background. We make our mural wallpapers made-to-measure to suit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an easy way to introduce creative energy into a room.

In the room

In a home office or study, we like placing this design directly in line of sight or behind a desk setup where the central message and graphic structure can serve as a motivating focal point. The vertical sage green and off-white stripes give the wall a sense of height, making it work nicely in both compact study nooks and larger creative spaces. We also see this working exceptionally well in a playroom, teenage room, or toddler room where playful colour and positive graphic art feel right at home. Because the design has a clear central motif balanced by continuous vertical stripes, it functions brilliantly on an accent wall without requiring the surrounding walls to be completely bare.

Styling it

To balance the energetic lettering and vertical striping of our design, we recommend keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively clean and understated.

• Pair the wallpaper with light wood furniture or painted white desks and storage units, allowing the bold typography and graphic stripes to remain the visual centrepiece.
• Introduce accent textiles such as cushions or throws in soft mustard yellow or warm muted red to pick up on the lettering tones without overwhelming the space.
• Keep wall-mounted decor minimal on the wallpapered wall so the oval quote composition remains completely visible and legible.

Colour combinations

The design features a balanced foundation of sage green and soft white in the vertical stripes, accented by vibrant pops of mustard yellow, vivid red, light blue, and warm gold tones in the central text. For adjacent walls, a soft chalky off-white or a very pale, muted sage will extend the airy feel of the striped background naturally. If you want a richer contrast elsewhere in the room, deep forest green or mid-tone slate blues on surrounding joinery, shelving, or upholstered chairs will ground the brighter typography nicely.
