Wallpaper - Checkerboard Floral II

Our Checkerboard Floral II wallpaper brings together bold graphic shapes and a warm, playful color palette created by artist Sarah Adams. The illustration features a dark teal vase with wavy line work holding green leaves and pink floral blooms against a rich saffron mustard yellow backdrop. Anchoring the lower portion of the design is a distinct black and light pink checkerboard surface, establishing an eye-catching contrast of pattern and still life illustration. Hand-drawn outlines and expressive styling give the motif an eclectic, collage-like feel. Produced custom to order, our wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition divides cleanly between the warm yellow upper plane and the geometric checkered base, we see this working exceptionally well as a statement accent wall. In a dining room, positioning the wallpaper along an open wall allows the still life motif to serve as a vibrant backdrop for dining tables and gathering spaces. In an open-plan living room, it anchors sitting areas with strong color and visual rhythm without overwhelming the entire space. The bold graphic scale makes it best suited for walls that remain relatively uninterrupted, giving the vase and floral elements plenty of room to breathe.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes clean and grounded. Low-profile credenzas, sleek dining tables, or minimalist seating in mid-toned or dark woods balance the expressive lines of the illustration nicely. Matte black metal accents in lighting or chair frames tie directly back into the black checks at the base of the design, while keeping decorative accessories understated helps the room feel intentional and curated rather than busy.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers around warm saffron yellow, rich earthy orange, dark teal, soft pink, and deep black. For adjacent walls and trim, softer off-white tones or pale warm grays allow the yellow background to stand out comfortably. If you want to carry the palette further into the room, consider pulling the dark teal or dusty pink into upholstery, accent cushions, or simple painted shelving to create subtle visual connections throughout the interior.
