Wallpaper - Kites

Artist Michael Clark captures the breezy movement of a sunlit day in our Kites wallpaper, where colourful diamond and box kites drift across an open blue sky. Painted in a soft watercolour style, the composition pairs bright yellow, warm orange, terracotta, and soft pink kites with flowing tails and fluttering bow ties against wispy white clouds. The airy scale and upward diagonal rhythm bring a cheerful, dynamic energy to any interior. Printed custom to your dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and adds an uplifting story to your wall.

In the room

We see this playful design working exceptionally well in children's bedrooms, nurseries, toddler rooms, and dedicated playrooms. Because the kites soar across an expansive sky background, the pattern introduces vibrant colour without feeling visually crowded or overwhelming.

It is particularly striking as a feature wall behind a child's bed or low shelving, where the full sweep of soaring shapes can be seen uninterrupted. The motif also translates wonderfully onto ceilings, creating the illusion of an open sky looking upwards from a cot or reading corner. In compact play areas or nursery nooks, the open blue backdrop helps the space feel light and expansive.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the lively movement of the kites, we recommend surrounding the wallpaper with grounded, simple furnishings in light natural wood or warm white painted finishes.

• Choose light ash, birch, or pine furniture with clean mid-century lines to balance the retro-inspired character of the kite illustrations.
• Introduce soft furnishings in plain woven cotton or bouclé, keeping patterns minimal so they do not compete with the active sky.
• Add small accents such as a bedside lamp, book crate, or cushion that pick up on the warm ochre or terracotta tones found in the kite tails.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a clear sky-blue foundation layered with cloud-like whites, balanced by rich terracotta, vibrant yellow, apricot orange, muted burgundy, and accents of candy pink.

When decorating adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft warm white or pale chalky cream creates a seamless, sunlit transition. For a slightly bolder look, a muted honey yellow or soft blush pink drawn from the kite panels works beautifully on painted joinery, doors, or an accent chest.
