Wallpaper - Accordion, Night and Day

Our Accordion, Night and Day wallpaper pairs graphic zig-zag folds with a bold play of light and shadow. Deep slate blue, mustard yellow, and sharp black tones interact across the repeating geometric planes, creating a distinct visual depth reminiscent of classic Art Deco posters and mid-century screenprints. What we particularly like about this design is how the structured vertical rhythm introduces graphic energy without feeling chaotic. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a confident focal point for contemporary interiors.

In the room

The strong vertical movement in this design makes it especially effective on accent walls where you want to draw the eye upward. In a living room or bedroom, we would place this wallpaper behind a low sofa or headboard so the geometric repeat can be seen across a generous portion of the wall. Because the contrast between the deep slate blue and warm yellow is quite graphic, it works wonderfully in a dedicated home office or a compact entryway where a statement wall sets an immediate visual tone. In a cinema room, den, or teenage bedroom, the dark base palette creates an intimate, grounded atmosphere while the zigzagging lines keep the space visually dynamic.

Styling it

To let the rhythmic geometry take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, architectural lines. Low-profile seating and streamlined shelving prevent the wall from feeling crowded, allowing the folded visual pattern to flow naturally.

When choosing materials, warm timber like mid-tone oak or walnut complements the mustard yellow facets beautifully, softening the graphic contrast. For decorative accents, matte black metal fixtures or understated brass hardware pick up on the darker angles and warmer tones of the motif without competing with its bold Art Deco character.

Colour combinations

The palette in this design is anchored by deep slate blue, mustard yellow, and dense black shadows, balanced by paler contrast planes. When painting surrounding walls, trim, or skirting boards, a soft slate blue or a warm off-white creates a natural transition that flatters the motif. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, taking the adjacent surfaces into a deep charcoal or near-black will make the yellow geometric elements stand out with striking definition.
