Wallpaper - Skate Bright I

Our Skate Bright I wallpaper, created by Moira Hershey, brings an energetic 1970s pop art feel straight to the wall. At the centre of the composition sits a bold black roller skate detailed with crisp white laces, a winged ankle emblem, purple accents and bright pink wheels. The skate is framed against a rich teal background layered with a radiating light blue starburst and a subtle screenprint-inspired texture that gives the graphic added visual depth. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a spirited, colourful focal point for any modern interior.

In the room

With its punchy graphic scale and strong central subject, we see this wall mural working especially well on a dedicated feature wall. In a teenage room, playroom or home gym, placing the design on an open wall allows the full starburst motif and central skate to anchor the space without being broken up by tall storage units. Because the composition has high visual contrast and an expressive palette, it holds its own brilliantly in rooms with good natural daylight, where the distinct tones of teal, light blue, pink and purple stay crisp and lively throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the artwork take centre stage, we would balance the surrounding space with clean, contemporary shapes and purposeful colour accents.

• Pair the wallpaper with simple black, white or natural wood furniture to ground the room without competing with the central illustration.
• Echo the vibrant pink or teal shades in smaller accents such as cushions, desk accessories or a flat-weave rug.
• Keep surrounding walls in a soft, neutral off-white so the mural wallpaper remains the unmistakable visual highlight of the interior.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a distinct palette of deep teal, soft sky blue, vivid pink, purple and strong black outlines. When selecting paint colours and materials for adjacent walls and woodwork, crisp whites and soft pale greys provide a fresh, gallery-style backdrop that lets the teal and pink pop. Alternatively, picking up the rich teal tone on adjacent painted surfaces or lower joinery creates a cohesive, immersive look with a playful retro character.
