Wallpaper - Checkerboard Floral I

Our Checkerboard Floral I wallpaper brings together graphic pattern and botanical art in a bold, expressive still life created by Sarah Adams. At the centre, a yellow vase with black linear stripes holds a plant with slender green leaves and pops of bright pink blossom. The composition rests on a black and beige checkerboard base, set against a deep army green backdrop that gives the entire motif striking depth. The hand-drawn ink style, confident outlines, and playful geometry create a whimsical character that instantly commands attention. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic gallery look to interior walls.

In the room

In a living room, we see this wall mural acting as a vibrant focal point behind a sofa or across a dedicated feature wall where its full graphic composition can be appreciated. The dark green ground creates an inviting atmosphere, while the high contrast between the yellow vase, pink florals, and checkerboard ground draws the eye across the space. For an art studio or creative study, it provides energetic visual inspiration without overpowering the entire room. Because the motif is structured around a distinct central still life, we suggest placing it on a relatively clear wall where the vase and checkered pattern are not heavily obscured by tall furniture.

Styling it

We would lean into an eclectic or contemporary aesthetic that celebrates the design's playful postmodern character. Surrounding furniture can either echo the bold geometric elements with clean lines and darker wood finishes, or soften the look with curved silhouettes. To keep the focus on the wallpaper's strong visual identity, we like keeping decorative accessories curated, perhaps choosing simple ceramics or matte black metal accents that reflect the ink line work in the motif.

Colour combinations

Our mural wallpapers feature a rich palette of deep army green, sunny yellow, vibrant pink, beige, and graphic black. When painting adjacent walls, muted earthy greens or soft warm beiges create a cohesive, grounded flow. If you want a more contrasting scheme, bringing through small touches of mustard yellow or dusty rose in cushions, upholstery, or accent pieces helps draw out the warmth of the central flowers and vase.
