Wallpaper - Color Chart II

Shirley Novak's Color Chart II wallpaper combines painterly floral blooms with a structured, geometric backdrop. Richly layered flowers in hot pink, crimson, deep purple, soft lilac, and sunny yellow emerge across the wall with the visible, textured impasto strokes of an oil painting. Behind the expressive botanical arrangement sits a soft grid of colour-swatch squares in cool blues, lavender, and lime green, introducing a contemporary abstract balance to the organic floral forms. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an uplifting, gallery-inspired energy to modern interiors.

In the room

We see this floral design working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Because the composition balances large floral heads with architectural colour swatches, giving the wallpaper a wide wall area allows the full interplay between the loose brushwork and the geometric grid to unfold. In a creative home office or dressing room, the bright pink and yellow tones introduce vibrant focal points without overwhelming smaller spaces, especially when framed against clean architectural lines and simple mouldings.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painterly quality of the wallpaper lead the room, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively streamlined in form. Mid-century silhouettes or contemporary pieces with clean edges create a pleasant dialogue with the background grid, while painted furniture in crisp off-white or deep charcoal helps anchor the lively palette.

For surrounding accents, simple ceramic vessels and matte black or dark metal details echo the small dark accents in the design and prevent the floral motif from feeling overly sweet.

Colour combinations

The motif features an energetic palette of hot pink, deep purple, magenta, pale yellow, lime green, and cornflower blue set against a soft white canvas. When selecting adjacent paint colours, we recommend picking up on the cooler tones in the grid, such as pale lavender-grey or soft blue-green, to create a calm surrounding atmosphere. For a warmer, more eclectic look, pulling out the pale buttercup yellow or pairing the wallpaper with rich berry-toned textiles creates a cohesive, colour-drenched setting.
