Wallpaper - Those Odd Fellas

Our Those Odd Fellas wallpaper, designed by Tanja Smedh, brings a surreal collage of distorted faces, curious character sketches, and whimsical creatures together across a deep navy blue background. At the center, an expressive figure in a sharp-toothed costume commands attention, framed by wide-eyed portraits, floating pencil-like details, a small fish, and a melting clock face with Roman numerals. The grainy, hand-drawn look and deep blue tones create a moody, enigmatic atmosphere that immediately catches the eye. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and adds an unapologetically bold artistic presence to your interior.

In the room

Because the collage is graphic, expressive, and rich in tonal contrast, we see this working best where the artwork has plenty of room to unfold. An uninterrupted feature wall in a home art studio, creative workspace, or study gives each eccentric face and fine sketch line the space it deserves without visual competition. In a modern living room or bedroom, positioning the mural behind a low-backed sofa or minimalist bed frame ensures the central figures remain fully visible. The deep navy backdrop creates an enveloping mood, particularly in rooms with controlled directional lighting or generous indirect daylight where the subtle transitions between ice blue, ink sketches, and midnight tones become clear.

Styling it

To balance the energetic, postmodern character of this mural, we would keep surrounding furnishings simple in silhouette and tactile in presence. Clean-lined modern furniture in black metal or darker stained wood anchors the drama of the wall without competing with its intricate drawings. Choosing unpatterned upholstery in textured charcoal, slate, or soft off-white helps frame the mural as the primary narrative piece in the room.

Color combinations

The design is built on a rich palette of midnight navy, cool slate blue, icy turquoise highlights, and stark white pencil details. To create a cohesive environment, we suggest drawing out the darker tones by painting adjacent walls and baseboards in deep ink blue or charcoal grey. For a crisper, more contemporary contrast, cool off-white or pale chalk grey on adjacent surfaces highlights the brightness of the sketched faces and keeps the overall space feeling open.
