Wallpaper - Sunny Side Blocks

Our Sunny Side Blocks wallpaper brings a lively rhythm to the wall through a balanced geometric grid of multi-coloured squares. Designed by Haley Knighten, this colourful checkerboard pattern alternates soft cream blocks with a playful sequence of red, pink, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, and dark blue tones. The structured repetition keeps the diverse palette organised, giving the pattern an energetic, graphic character inspired by retro and Memphis design influences. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, graphic focal point that remains easy to live with across various spaces.

In the room

Because the checkerboard composition has a clear, symmetrical structure, our design adapts well across different residential layouts. In a playroom, toddler room, or nursery, we like using it on a main feature wall behind low shelving or a cot, where the colourful grid creates an engaging visual backdrop without feeling chaotic. In a creative home art studio or a teenage room, the postmodern aesthetic works equally well across several adjacent walls or wrapping around a desk alcove. The alternating cream squares introduce enough breathing space within the grid so that the vibrant colours remain grounded, even in rooms with compact footprints.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing the geometric grid with furniture that features soft curves and simple, solid finishes to balance the crisp linear pattern.

• Choose rounded or tubular furniture shapes, such as curved chairs or circular tables, which soften the sharp right angles of the grid.
• Stick to plain, solid-colour upholstery and simple painted furniture in off-white or soft pastels so the room does not compete with the multi-toned blocks.
• Introduce natural light wood finishes to add warmth while keeping the surrounding interior light and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a varied palette of red, pink, orange, sunny yellow, pale green, powder blue, and navy against a neutral, warm cream background. When decorating surrounding walls and woodwork, drawing directly from that cream tone creates a seamless transition that lets the colourful grid take center stage. For adjacent walls or painted trim, soft butter yellows, pale sky blues, or muted sage greens pick up the lighter elements of the motif naturally. If you prefer higher contrast, deep navy accents in larger furniture or curtains echo the darkest blue squares in the pattern and anchor the space effectively.
