Wallpaper - African Flair

Designed by Anne Tavoletti, our African Flair wallpaper presents a curated still-life composition of five distinct handcrafted-style vessels and amphorae. Illustrated with fluid watercolour washes and bold, ink-like linework, each pot displays its own distinct geometric markings and warm earthy palette of sienna brown, terracotta, mustard yellow, and sage green against a textured neutral background. Subtle geometric diamond symbols float lightly in the background to complete the balanced horizontal arrangement. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural on paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an authentic artistic character to any feature wall.

In the room

We see this design working especially well across a primary feature wall in a living room, open-plan dining space, or a dedicated creative home studio. Because the pottery arrangement sits horizontally across the lower and middle ground of the mural, it naturally anchors low-profile furniture like a long sideboard, low credenza, or sofa back without losing the expressive details of the taller vessels. In spaces with ample wall width, the distinct shapes and varying heights of the jugs create an engaging focal line that draws the eye across the room.

Styling it

To complement the graphic and artisanal quality of the illustrated pottery, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple and grounded. Low, clean-lined furniture in warm wood or painted finishes allows the watercolour textures and decorative vessel patterns to remain the primary visual focus.

Selecting accessories that echo the handcrafted spirit of the design, such as unglazed ceramic tableware, sculptural stone objects, or woven natural fibre baskets, helps extend the studio aesthetic throughout the wider room without competing with the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The illustration is built around an earthy base of sienna, warm terracotta, deep ochre, and muted moss green, framed by crisp ink outlines. To create a cohesive scheme, consider drawing out the creamy neutral background tone for adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer setting, painting adjoining surfaces in a muted sage, clay, or warm sienna will mirror the painted tones of the pots and create an enveloping, artisanal atmosphere.
