Wallpaper - Checks, Forest

Our Checks, Forest wallpaper brings a soft, relaxed grid to the wall with olive and army green lines drawn across a clean white background. Designed by Blue Bee Studios, the motif uses gently waving, irregular line work to create a loose checkered structure that feels grounded and approachable rather than rigid or geometric. The hand-drawn quality gives the pattern a visual character reminiscent of woven textiles, lending warmth and a quiet rhythm to the room. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, this design offers an understated way to introduce pattern into everyday living spaces.

In the room

Because the grid is open and drawn with a softer hand, we find this design adapts effortlessly across varied wall proportions. In an entryway or mudroom, it establishes an inviting, structured backdrop that feels orderly without appearing stark. The repeating square motif also works beautifully in hardworking domestic spaces like a kitchen, pantry, or laundry room, where the balance of crisp white and muted green provides gentle visual definition alongside shelving, panelling, or cabinetry.

For an accent wall in a kitchen dining nook or across all four walls of a smaller utility area, the scale remains comfortable. The repeat has enough spacing to keep fragmented walls around doors and built-in cupboards feeling uncluttered, while continuous surfaces reveal the subtle movement in each wavy line.

Styling it

We like pairing this pattern with understated interior elements that complement its relaxed, heritage-inspired character.

• Combine the wallpaper with painted timber cabinetry in warm neutrals, off-white, or deeper forest greens to anchor the graphic grid.
• Introduce natural timber finishes, such as unlacquered oak or warm pine, to echo the organic, handmade quality of the hand-drawn lines.
• Incorporate matte ceramic hardware, woven wire baskets, or unpolished brass accents to create a practical, grounded atmosphere suited to pantry or utility spaces.

Colour combinations

The design is built around an earthy army green and softer olive tones set against a crisp white ground. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in joinery, consider muted neutrals that echo the background, such as chalky whites and soft stone. For a richer contrast, deeper botanical greens or warm clay shades pick up the natural undertones of the forest line work while keeping the overall palette cohesive and calm.
