Wallpaper - Chairs II

Created by artist Michael Clark, this design brings together four stylised chairs arranged loosely across broad, curving bands of colour. The motif combines visible oil-paint brushwork with a calm palette of soft teal, pastel blue, and light seafoam greens. Its open composition gives the artwork a graphic, contemporary feel while retaining the expressive charm of a modern painting. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates a distinctive, art-led feature across any interior wall.

In the room

Because the composition relies on generous open space around the chairs and sweeping arcs, we particularly like this design on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full scale of the artwork can unfold. In a living room or open-plan dining space, placing the wallpaper behind a lower sofa or sideboard keeps the graphic silhouettes visible and lets the broad teal curves ground the seating zone.

The soft, cool tones also make our wall murals well suited to a quiet home office, study, or dressing room, where the understated contrast feels calm rather than overwhelming. In a bedroom or guest room, it works effortlessly behind a low headboard, providing visual interest without demanding heavy decorative layering across the rest of the room.

Styling it

We would pair this design with simple furniture shapes that complement its mid-century modern and contemporary artistic roots. Clean-lined pieces in light or warm wood, such as ash or natural oak, create a balanced contrast against the cooler teal backdrop without competing with the painted texture.

To keep the focus on the artwork, select upholstery and textiles in soft, unpatterned weaves. Keeping surrounding shelving and wall art minimal allows the distinctive silhouettes of the chairs to act as the primary graphic statement in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres around a delicate palette of soft teal, turquoise, pastel sky blue, and pale mint, anchored by the darker graphite-toned lines of the chairs.

When choosing adjacent wall colours and trim, gentle off-whites and chalky neutrals create a crisp, airy border that lets the mural stand out. For a more tonal, immersive atmosphere, surrounding walls painted in a muted pale aqua or soft seafoam green will naturally extend the wallpaper's palette throughout the room. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in charcoal or dark slate will subtly pick up the linear definition of the chair frames.
