Wallpaper - Shirts and Ties

Created by Michael Clark, our Shirts and Ties wallpaper captures a lively, retro-inspired sartorial arrangement with a distinctive watercolour appearance. The composition layers folded collared shirts, striped ties, and cufflinks across a vibrant backdrop of painterly blues, purples, greens, and sunny yellows. Soft brushwork and translucent watercolor washes give the graphic stripes and structured tailoring a fluid, artistic energy. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif features distinct graphic shapes and lively stripes, we see this working exceptionally well in spaces dedicated to dressing and daily routines. It brings character and tailored charm to a dressing room, bedroom, or powder room. In smaller, compact spaces like a walk-in wardrobe or an entryway, wrapping the walls creates an immersive, boutique feel. On a larger, uninterrupted bedroom wall behind a headboard, the watercolour elements and rhythmic pattern act as an expressive focal point without feeling rigid.

Styling it

To let the playful rhythm of the shirts and ties lead the space, we would pair this wallpaper with clean-lined, understated furniture. Mid-century modern silhouettes or tailored contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as walnut or mid-toned oak, complement the retro spirit of the artwork. Keep surrounding textiles simple in solid weaves to balance the variety of stripes, and introduce brushed brass or aged metal fixtures to echo the neat detailing of the painted cufflinks.

Colour combinations

The artwork features an expressive palette centered on sky blue, cobalt, violet, and soft lavender, contrasted by zesty yellow accents and olive-green striping. For adjacent walls, woodwork, and trim, we suggest pulling out a soft off-white or a pale, airy blue to maintain a fresh atmosphere. If you want a moodier, more tailored look, pairing the design with deep navy cabinetry or rich indigo paintwork provides an elegant frame that grounds the brighter yellow and striped details.
