Wallpaper - Checkerboard Floral II

Our Checkerboard Floral II wallpaper brings together graphic geometry and painterly botanical art in a warm, expressive composition. Designed by Sarah Adams, the motif centres on a dark teal vase with wavy vertical lines, holding fresh green leaves and soft pink flowers against a rich mustard and saffron backdrop. Grounding the scene is a light pink and black checkerboard base, giving the artwork a playful, collage-like character with bold, hand-drawn contours. Produced custom to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, creative look that adds instant warmth to your space.

In the room

We love how this design balances graphic structure with organic shapes, making it especially effective in living rooms and dining areas. Because the composition works as a striking still life with clear vertical presence, we would place it on a relatively open feature wall where the balance between the checkerboard base and the floral arrangement can be fully appreciated. In a dining room, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a dining table allows the warm mustard tones to frame the seating area, while in a living room, it creates a confident focal point behind a low-backed sofa or sideboard.

Styling it

To let the illustrative character of our wall murals lead the room, we suggest working with furniture shapes that either echo or quietly contrast the artwork's geometry:

• Pair the wallpaper with mid-century modern or contemporary furniture featuring rounded silhouettes or clean lines, keeping larger pieces relatively neutral so the graphic motif remains the primary focus.
• Introduce dark painted furniture, matte black metal accents, or warm terracotta details to pick up on the deep outlines and rich background of the design.
• Incorporate woven textiles or plain upholstery in muted greens and soft blush tones to complement the floral elements without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is grounded in warm mustard, earthy saffron, and orange tones, contrasted by the dark teal of the vase, deep black outlines, crisp greens, and gentle pinks. When building a colour scheme around this design, adjacent walls in soft off-white or light muted beige keep the room bright and balanced. For a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper earthy accents like rust, burnt orange, or muted teal on painted woodwork and accessories will tie the entire space together.
