Wallpaper - Kala I

Created by Sue Schlabach, our Kala I wallpaper presents a classic historic floral repeat with the distinctive character of a traditional block print. Set against a light, softly textured backdrop, rhythmic botanical motifs unfold with blue and teal foliage, scrolling acanthus-like leaves, and imaginative flower blossoms detailed with touches of soft pastel pink, warm ochre, and leafy green. The visual texture echoes vintage printed textiles, giving the overall composition a dreamy and artistic feel. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We love how the continuous botanical flow of Kala I creates an uplifting, characterful setting across both expansive and intimate spaces. In a bedroom, we see this working wonderfully as a full-room installation or wrapped across the wall behind the bed, where the winding stems and intricate petals create an enveloping, relaxed atmosphere. The delicate pastel accents and expressive floral linework also make it an inspiring backdrop in a private dressing room, bringing heritage charm to everyday routines. Because the repeat combines larger statement blooms with finer leaf trails, it holds its detail gracefully on continuous wide walls as well as more segmented spaces broken up by wardrobes or alcoves.

Styling it

To complement the artisanal, historic print aesthetic of Kala I, we suggest pairing it with furniture that balances ornamental pattern with clean, grounded lines. Painted cabinetry in soft ivory, off-white, or muted chalky finishes helps maintain the bright, airy feel of the design without competing for attention. If you prefer natural materials, warm mid-toned timber pieces offer an organic anchor that sits comfortably alongside the botanical theme. Keeping larger textiles relatively simple in tone allows the lively leaf and petal details of the wallpaper to remain the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Kala I design is led by crisp teal and cornflower blue linework against an off-white background, interspersed with gentle accents of blush pink, sunlit ochre, and fresh green. When decorating around this wallpaper, pulling out the lighter off-white base tone for adjacent walls, skirting boards, and architraves ensures a seamless and cohesive transition. For a bolder, complementary accent, deep slate blue, dusty teal, or soft pastel rose on surrounding woodwork or upholstery draws out the subtle floral tones within the print.
