Wallpaper - Whimsy II

Designed by Yvette St. Amant, our Whimsy II wallpaper brings together bold, painted brushstroke shapes in a lively chevron pattern. Expressive layers of red and bright pink flow alongside fresh light greens, olive tones, and deep cobalt to light blue shades. What we particularly like is the visible paint texture across each band, giving the geometric arrangement a distinctly artistic, hand-painted character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a vibrant backdrop that instantly lifts the energy of a room.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces that welcome playful colour and graphic movement, such as a children's bedroom, playroom, creative home office, or teenage room. The chevron structure creates a strong horizontal and vertical rhythm, making it an excellent choice for a feature wall behind a bed, desk, or low sofa. In a living room or art studio with ample natural light, the subtle shifts between the light and dark green brushstrokes become even more engaging. Because the pattern carries strong visual weight, giving it a relatively open wall allows the full chevron repeat and color transitions to stand out without competing with tall furniture.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork take centre stage, we suggest balancing the room with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in neutral finishes or pale wood. A simple light ash or birch desk or bed frame keeps the overall composition grounded, while allowing the rich reds and blues to command attention.

For surrounding accents, you might pick out one of the softer tones from the motif, such as a pale blue cushion or a muted olive throw, to tie the interior together without overwhelming the space. Keeping larger elements like curtains and rugs relatively quiet in plain woven textures ensures the graphic painted pattern remains the clear focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features an energetic palette built on vivid red, rose pink, fresh lime, moss green, deep navy, and soft sky blue. When considering colours for neighbouring walls or woodwork, a clean off-white or soft warm grey creates a crisp, modern contrast that allows the mural to pop. If you want a more cohesive, immersive feel, a muted sage green or dusty cornflower blue on adjacent walls picks up the cooler brushstrokes in the design and softens the transition across the room.
