Wallpaper - Flaky

Created by Melissa Averinos, our Flaky wallpaper arranges expressive, ink-style starburst motifs into a rhythmic, geometric grid against a clean white backdrop. The hand-painted, irregular character of each charcoal grey star introduces organic warmth and personality to an otherwise orderly pattern, striking a balanced contrast between structure and spontaneity. Its monochromatic palette and airy spacing give the design a light, graphic presence that feels both playful and refined. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a distinctive, artful touch to any interior.

In the room

We find that the open grid and rhythmic placement of Flaky make it wonderfully versatile across different room layouts. In a quiet study or home office, the balanced geometry offers visual interest without creating visual noise, providing a calm yet creative backdrop behind a desk or shelving. The pattern also works gracefully in a dedicated meditation room or calm reading corner, where its balanced white space and soft monochromatic rhythm help define an intentional, uncluttered atmosphere. Because the repeat is open and orderly, we see this working equally well across all four walls of a smaller room or as a graphic accent wall behind low furniture.

Styling it

To complement the graphic, ink-drawn character of the stars, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and understated. Modern silhouettes in light natural timber, such as ash or pale oak, will echo the warmth of the hand-drawn marks while maintaining a bright, open feeling.

For an interior leaning towards contemporary minimalism or subtle Regency-inspired elegance, introduce dark accents or slim black metal details to ground the charcoal tones of the motif. Soft, natural woven fabrics and understated ceramics will enhance the organic charm of the pattern without competing with its geometric rhythm.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a crisp white ground punctuated by rich charcoal grey and neutral deep ink tones. To highlight the crisp monochrome quality of our mural wallpapers, consider pairing it with neutral off-white or soft warm grey paint on adjacent walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry. For a bolder, high-contrast scheme, deep slate, ink black, or muted graphite trims can frame the wallpaper beautifully and emphasise the individual star motifs.
