Wallpaper - Strike II

Our Strike II wallpaper design by Veronique Charron captures a graphic, vintage matchbox aesthetic with playful pop-art energy. At the top, bold red match tips emerge above an illustrated matchbox label centred on a stylised green palm tree against a warm beige background with fine vertical pinstripes. A decorative teal border with black geometric patterning frames the motif, anchored by the uplifting quote "ALWAYS LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE" in prominent black and red typography. Printed to order on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this made-to-measure design works as an expressive feature wall full of retro character.

In the room

We see this statement design working especially well in energetic spaces such as a teenage room, playroom, or dedicated hobby room. Because the composition relies on a strong central graphic bordered by detailed framing, giving it a clear, uninterrupted wall allows the full typography and matchbox illustration to be enjoyed without obstruction. In a study nook or creative corner, placing our mural wallpaper behind a low desk or reading bench ensures the palm motif and lettering remain in clear view. The warm beige ground and earthy fern-green tones keep the overall visual presence balanced rather than overwhelming, even with the vibrant red accents.

Styling it

The graphic, eclectic maximalist character of the artwork pairs naturally with simple, contemporary furnishings that allow the print to lead the room:

• Choose clean-lined furniture in painted neutral finishes or warm wood to ground the room without competing with the geometric borders.
• Bring in understated soft furnishings in muted greens or natural off-white fabrics to maintain focus on the artwork.
• Add small decor accents in matte black or tomato red to echo the typography and match heads in the print.

Colour combinations

The design itself combines a foundation of warm beige and soft fern green with a framed teal border, sharp black linework, and vibrant pops of red. When planning adjacent walls and trim, we suggest pulling directly from the quieter tones in the wallpaper: soft warm off-white, light oatmeal, or a muted sage. For doors, skirting boards, or nearby shelving, a deep matte black creates a crisp, intentional outline that reflects the typographic elements.
