Wallpaper - Garden Terrace

Our Garden Terrace wallpaper brings an orderly checkerboard composition together with a soft, painted visual texture. Designed by Haley Knighten, the motif arranges evenly sized squares in a gentle sequence of mocha brown, cream, soft green, and light pink. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the balance between its structured geometric grid and the relaxed, painterly variation across each colour block. The earthy base tones ground the palette, while the pastel touches keep the overall rhythm light and inviting. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a grounded yet decorative foundation for home interiors.

In the room

In an entryway or hallway, we like how the repeating square grid introduces architectural structure without feeling overly rigid. The alternating tones break up long wall runs nicely, giving transitional spaces an immediate sense of character as you move through them. In a kitchen or dining nook, the design sits comfortably alongside everyday cabinetry, where the warm cream and mocha shades tie in naturally with cooking and dining areas. For smaller spaces such as a cloakroom or powder room, wallpapering across all walls creates a charming, enclosed feel where the varied grid envelops the room in balanced colour.

Styling it

Because the checkerboard pattern provides a clear rhythmic presence, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and clean-lined. Painted woodwork and classic timber joinery sit naturally against the heritage-inspired geometry, allowing the colour transitions in the wallpaper to take centre stage.

To complement the design's painterly quality, we suggest choosing matte finishes and simple, unadorned silhouettes rather than high-gloss surfaces or competing patterned upholstery. Subtle ceramic accents or quiet, unfussy lighting fixtures help ground the space while letting the wall mural set the decorative mood.

Colour combinations

The design centres on an earthy palette of mocha brown, soft cream, muted green, and pale pink. To build a cohesive room around our mural wallpapers, consider pulling the cream or soft green onto adjacent painted walls, skirting, or window frames for a subtle, tailored transition.

If you prefer richer contrast, deeper brown or warm terracotta accents in surrounding upholstery and accessories will echo the darker squares in the pattern. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites keeps the atmosphere airy and highlights the delicate pink and green tones.
