Wallpaper - Sunny Side Checks

Designed by Haley Knighten, our Sunny Side Checks wallpaper brings an energetic rhythm to the wall through vertical columns of checkered colour. Vibrant squares in red, pink, orange, yellow, green, light blue, and dark blue alternate against a gentle cream and beige base, giving the structured geometric grid a warm, hand-painted look with visible brush strokes. The repeat balances graphic clarity with lively, post-modern character, creating an expressive focal point that transforms a room without overwhelming it. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design offers a straightforward way to introduce joyful colour into your home.

In the room

We love this design in dynamic, creative spaces such as a playroom, children's bedroom, toddler room, or a home art studio. In a teenage room or an open family area, it works exceptionally well on an accent wall behind a desk, craft table, or low bed, where the full spectrum of vertical colour bands can be viewed without heavy visual interruption. Because the checkerboard layout has a clear geometric grid, it also sits naturally across smaller feature walls or alcoves, giving compact corners an immediate lift while maintaining a tidy, orderly structure.

Styling it

When decorating around such a vibrant motif, we recommend letting the wallpaper lead the visual story and keeping larger furniture grounded. Mid-century or retro Memphis-inspired silhouettes with clean, rounded edges complement the post-modern geometry nicely. Unfinished or lightly oiled pale timber furniture adds organic warmth, while simple painted pieces in off-white or soft biscuit help ground the surrounding space without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The design itself features rich red, candy pink, warm orange, sunny yellow, vibrant green, and both light and navy blue squares, counterbalanced by soft cream and beige tones. For adjacent painted surfaces, skirting, and door frames, we suggest drawing out the neutral cream or oatmeal shades to keep the room feeling cohesive and calm. If you want a more adventurous palette, picking out one specific accent from the pattern, such as the dusty yellow or soft sky blue for painted woodwork or loose textiles, ties the interior together effortlessly.
