Wallpaper - Checkered Palm

Our Checkered Palm wallpaper brings together graphic pattern and loose botanical illustration in a distinctive composition. Designed by Jenaya Jackson, the motif features a leafy green palm in a peach-toned pot, set upon a soft lavender surface against an energetic blue and white checkerboard background. The watercolor-style brushwork and expressive linework give the design an approachable, illustrative character, balancing crisp geometric contrast with painterly movement. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and introduces a confident, creative focal point.

In the room

In an entryway or hallway, our Checkered Palm design establishes a cheerful, art-led mood right at the front door. The contrast between the upright palm leaves and the checkerboard backdrop gives it plenty of visual presence, making it well suited to an accent wall where you want to make an immediate impression. We also see this working beautifully in a dining room, placed along a main wall alongside a dining table where the graphic scale can be enjoyed at eye level. In an open-plan kitchen or breakfast area, giving the wallpaper a dedicated, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the full arrangement of pot, plant, and backdrop stand out without competing with surrounding cabinetry.

Styling it

Because this design carries both structured geometry and lively painterly shapes, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively clean in profile. Mid-century modern pieces, contemporary shapes, or simple painted dining chairs allow the bold personality of the wall mural to take the lead.

• Pair with warm, natural wood finishes or clean painted surfaces that ground the playful pastel palette without adding visual clutter.
• Complement the checkerboard structure with simple, modern ceramics and everyday glassware in clear or solid tones rather than competing patterned tableware.
• Keep floor coverings understated, opting for plain weaves or solid neutral tones so the graphic floor-to-wall transition remains crisp and balanced.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines rich emerald and leafy greens with soft peach, lavender, and clear blue and white in the background. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, trim, or nearby cabinetry, a clean off-white or soft warm white provides a fresh backdrop that lets the blue checkerboard pop. To draw out the warmer notes in the motif, a muted peach or dusty apricot on an adjacent wall or upholstered seating creates an inviting connection. For a cooler, more tonal direction, soft lavender or pale cornflower blue works naturally alongside the lower half of the composition, while touches of deeper green in surrounding accents can echo the bold palm leaves.
