Wallpaper - Mellow Tops Blue

Designed by Farida Zaman, our Mellow Tops Blue wallpaper brings a playful geometric pattern to life through rows of hand-painted watercolour triangles. Set against a soft jade green background, the repeating triangular shapes shift naturally in tone between bright lemon yellow, warm ochre, leafy emerald, and deep teal. Each triangle carries subtle tonal washes and soft edges characteristic of watercolour paint, giving the orderly horizontal repeat an organic, hand-crafted feel. Made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design introduces cheerful colour and graphic rhythm without overwhelming the room.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in creative and energetic spaces around the home, from nurseries and children's playrooms to a teenager's bedroom or a home art studio. The clear horizontal rhythm and balanced scale of the triangles mean the wallpaper works nicely across all four walls in a compact room, creating an immersive backdrop full of character. In a larger space or an open playroom, giving the pattern an uninterrupted feature wall behind a desk, low storage unit, or bed allows the repeat to create a lively focal point. It can also bring a refreshing splash of colour to a cloakroom or bathroom when used alongside clean wall tiles or painted panelling.

Styling it

Because the pattern combines a structured geometric layout with painterly watercolour textures, we like balancing it with clean-lined furniture and simple, functional silhouettes. Mid-century and Scandinavian-inspired pieces in light or warm wood tones complement the earthy ochre and bright yellow elements naturally, while white-painted shelving or painted metal frames keep the overall look crisp. To let the wall mural take centre stage, we would keep surrounding soft furnishings relatively calm, choosing solid textiles in unbleached cotton, washed denim blue, or warm mustard rather than competing printed patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a base of muted jade green complemented by warm ochre, sunny yellow, grassy green, and deep teal. When planning the rest of the room, you can pull directly from these tones to create a cohesive interior. Soft off-whites and pale stone on adjoining walls and woodwork provide a fresh, neutral balance that allows the colours to stand out. For a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper teal or forest green painted trims echo the darker triangles, while accents in warm honey or marigold enhance the cheerful warmth in the pattern.
