Wallpaper - Paper Bag III

Our Paper Bag III wallpaper brings a graphic, mixed-media feel to the wall with an expressive collage composition by Avery Tillmon. Centred around the silhouette of a black handbag built from paper cutouts and text clippings, the design balances sharp geometric accents and square handles against a layered backdrop of beige, white, and charcoal grey tones. Fragmented typography and black-and-white patterns give the surface rich visual texture while keeping the overall palette neutral and composed. Produced as custom made-to-measure murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring an artistic, modern sensibility to residential spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, dressing room, or creative home studio where the central motif has enough open space to stand out. Because the collage features a distinct figurative subject surrounded by textured newsprint layers, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the balance between the handbag silhouette and the lighter background to read clearly. In a dressing room or walk-in wardrobe, it introduces a subtle fashion reference without overwhelming the space, while in a home office or living area, the graphic black-and-white elements create a focal point behind low furniture like a tailored sofa or a clean-lined desk.

Styling it

To complement the graphic nature of our wall murals, we suggest pairing this design with minimalist, contemporary furniture that shares its clean lines. Low-profile seating in charcoal, off-white, or neutral woven upholstery lets the artwork command attention without visual competition. Matte black metal lighting, slim picture frames, or architectural shelving echo the strong black lines and geometric handles in the motif, creating a cohesive, curated aesthetic across the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in neutral tones, combining charcoal grey and deep black with soft off-white and warm beige newsprint backgrounds. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we recommend staying within this considered tonal family. Soft chalky whites or muted warm greys work naturally on adjacent surfaces to keep the room bright, while charcoal or deep slate paint on baseboards, doors, or built-in cabinetry reinforces the darker elements of the collage.
