Wallpaper - Kala Lines Red

Designed by Sue Schlabach, our Kala Lines Red wallpaper brings together playful vertical stripes with a hand-painted, watercolour-like character. The rhythmic vertical layout alternates between bolder bands of coral pink and sunny yellow alongside finer pinstripes in soft mint, fresh green, and muted taupe against a clean white backdrop. Softly imperfect edges give the geometric repeat a relaxed, friendly movement that feels warm and expressive across the wall. As with all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that gives the finished surface a gentle, tactile quality.

In the room

The bright vertical rhythm makes this design particularly uplifting in children's bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms. The upward direction of the stripes naturally draws the eye, which works well in rooms with standard or lower ceilings where you want a lighter, taller feeling. Because the repeat combines varied stripe widths with generous white space between them, our mural wallpapers can easily cover all four walls of a smaller room without feeling crowded. In a larger bedroom or family space, we also see this working beautifully on a single feature wall behind a cot, bed, or play area to anchor the room with clear, cheerful energy.

Styling it

To balance the colourful vertical movement of the pattern, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has simple, understated outlines. Lighter wood furniture, such as pale ash or natural birch, complements the casual, 1950s-inspired warmth of the stripes without competing for attention.

For textiles and surrounding accents, plain fabrics in unbleached cotton, off-white, or soft natural linen keep the focus on the wall while introducing gentle texture. A simple woven wool rug in an ivory or neutral tone grounds the floor space, allowing the energetic colours in the wallpaper to lead the room's character.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a vibrant core of coral pink and warm yellow, balanced by crisp green, light mint, pale taupe, and clean white.

When decorating adjacent walls or woodwork, a crisp soft white or a warm ivory offers a seamless continuation of the light background. If you prefer introducing more colour through painted trim, skirting boards, or built-in joinery, echoing the subtle sage-green or muted taupe from the narrower stripes creates a cohesive, tailored finish that lets the brighter coral and yellow stripes stand out.
