Wallpaper - Stars and Stripes V

Our Stars and Stripes V wallpaper, designed by Laura Marshall, brings a lively celebratory feel to the wall with graphic firework bursts, scattered stars, and bold lettering reading "FOURTH OF JULY" and "INDEPENDENCE DAY". The palette contrasts vibrant red, rich blue, and softer light blue elements against a warm cream background, giving the pattern an energetic Americana character with retro mid-century charm. Varied star sizes and radiating firework shapes create a rhythmic, playful composition across the surface. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings character and distinct personality to residential feature walls.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces dedicated to play and family life, such as a children's bedroom, toddler room, nursery, or dedicated playroom. In a playroom or games room, using it across an accent wall behind a reading bench, craft table, or low storage unit gives the room an immediate focal point without overwhelming every surface.

The open spacing between the star motifs and the gentle warmth of the cream backdrop also make the design well suited to holiday homes or summer houses. On a relatively uninterrupted wall, the playful rhythm of the typography and bursting stars has room to unfold naturally, bringing a cheerful, graphic presence to the space.

Styling it

To balance the bold lettering and dynamic shapes of the pattern, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, natural wood furniture or clean, painted white pieces to echo the lightness of the background without competing with the motif.
• Introduce solid-coloured textiles, such as a soft denim-blue throw, navy cushions, or plain red accents, picking up on the key colours in the print while avoiding conflicting patterns.
• Keep wall décor minimal on the wallpapered wall so the typographic elements and firework illustrations remain crisp and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a warm eggshell cream base, vivid primary blue, soft sky blue, and bright red.

When decorating the surrounding space, we recommend pulling the warm cream tone onto adjacent painted walls or woodwork to create a cohesive backdrop. Deep navy and classic denim blues work beautifully on larger elements like curtains, bedspreads, or painted shelving, adding depth. For smaller decorative touches, accents in cherry red or soft sky blue create a balanced, thoughtful connection to the artwork.
