Wallpaper - Chevalier

Our Chevalier wallpaper captures the bold architectural spirit of 1930s Art Deco through striking geometric symmetry and monumental vertical forms. Drawing visual inspiration from classic interwar facades and pipe organ arrangements, the composition balances towering stone-toned pillars against sharp angular facets and chevron geometries. A rich palette of dark orange, ochre, deep slate green, and warm parchment gives the design a grounded, earthy intensity, enhanced by a subtle speckled, painted-looking visual texture across the planes. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a dramatic, sculptural presence to interior walls.

In the room

Because of its strong central symmetry and tall vertical lines, Chevalier makes an immediate focal point in a room. We see this working particularly well on a primary wall in a living room or a dedicated study, where the full height of the columns can draw the eye upwards and emphasize ceiling height. In a living room, placing this wallpaper on the main wall behind a sofa or low-profile credenza allows the dramatic central motif to anchor the entire layout. The strong graphic presence means it thrives on a relatively open, uninterrupted wall where the architectural silhouettes are not cut in half by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards.

Styling it

To let the structural presence of the pattern lead, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features clean, tailored lines and substantial proportions. Low-slung lounge chairs in deep moss velvet, dark leather, or textured bouclé create a natural dialogue with the geometric planes without competing for attention.

Dark timber finishes like stained walnut, smoked oak, or ebonised wood complement the deep undertones of the mural, while brushed bronze or muted brass hardware echoes the warm orange and ochre highlights. Keeping tabletop accessories streamlined and sculptural reinforces the vintage Deco aesthetic while maintaining a balanced, contemporary feel.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around rich dark orange, warm ochre, and pale stone hues, grounded by dark emerald and charcoal green shades in the background. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, pulling the deep slate green into skirtings and architraves creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with warm off-white or soft biscuit on adjacent surfaces lets the mural wallpapers stand out with crisp architectural definition.
