Wallpaper - Fly Away Gold

Our Fly Away Gold wallpaper by Shirley Novak brings expressive, painterly energy to your walls through sweeping brushstrokes of deep cobalt blue and vibrant yellow. Set against a clean white backdrop with subtle painterly textures and hints of light blue and grey, the composition carries a lively, swirling rhythm balanced by delicate yellow dots scattered throughout the motif. The dynamic contrast between the intense primary tones and the open, airy ground gives this abstract artwork a whimsical, painterly presence. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the paper, it offers a confident way to introduce modern art to your home.

In the room

In a living room or a dedicated home art studio, we see this design working particularly well as an expressive feature wall. Because the cobalt blue and yellow strokes have significant visual movement, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the full flow of the painted gestures unfold naturally. In an open-plan living area, placing the mural behind a sofa or across the main focal wall anchors the room without cluttering it, as the white background preserves a light, spacious feel.

Styling it

To let the dynamic brushwork take centre stage, we would pair this design with contemporary furniture that features clean, uncomplicated lines. Smooth white, off-white, or neutral upholstery keeps the room grounded, allowing the vibrant blue and yellow strokes to provide the primary colour accents.

For surrounding accents, simple matte black or deep navy details echo the darker tones in the paintwork, while natural, pale timber furniture introduces warmth without competing with the lively abstract composition.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper centres on rich cobalt blue and bright, sunny yellow set against a soft white base, nuanced with gentle touches of light grey and powder blue.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, crisp architectural white or soft off-white creates a seamless, modern transition. If you want a more enveloping contrast, pulling out a rich navy or cobalt tone for an accent feature or adjacent cabinetry creates a bold, cohesive dialogue with the motif.
