Wallpaper - In Flight III

Created by artist Chris Paschke, our In Flight III wallpaper captures graceful birds soaring across a soft French blue wash. What we particularly like about this design is how the fluid, ink-style strokes give the birds a sense of upward movement while maintaining an airy, uncluttered composition. The delicate watercolour aesthetic and pale sky-blue background create an open, quiet atmosphere on the wall. Produced to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a bedroom or a quiet study, we see this design working beautifully behind a bed or desk where the open sky motif can bring a gentle sense of expansiveness. The light palette and dynamic bird silhouettes give the wall a natural focal point without overwhelming smaller architectural details. In an entryway, hallway, or guest room, placing this design along a main sightline immediately introduces an inviting, artistic quality. Because the composition relies on delicate watercolour washes and distinct bird forms rather than a dense, repeating grid, it suits both wide uninterrupted walls and more compact spaces like a powder room or dining area.

Styling it

To complement the light watercolour washes and ink-drawn forms, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, considered furnishings that mirror its understated elegance.

• Natural, lighter wood tones such as pale ash or washed oak work well alongside the soft French blue, grounding the room without feeling heavy.
• Simple, tailored upholstery in off-white, oat, or pale grey linen lets the movement in the sky remain the main visual focus.
• Matte black accents or fine, dark metal details pick up on the crisp ink strokes of the birds and add subtle graphic definition to the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its soft French blue backdrop, light washes, and dark ink tones. When planning your surrounding palette, we recommend pairing the design with muted off-whites, chalky creams, or pale misty greys on adjacent walls, skirting, and door frames. For a slightly bolder contrast, deep charcoal, navy, or soft slate accents echo the darker tones of the soaring birds. If you prefer a subtle tonal approach, dusty blues and soft grey-blues create a cohesive, layered scheme throughout the room.
