Wallpaper - Paper Bag I

Our Paper Bag I wallpaper by Avery Tillmon brings a graphic, collage-style character to the wall, built around the silhouette of a handbag formed from layered newspaper and magazine clippings. Graphic black handles, bold polka dots, crisp stripes, and scattered typographic letter blocks like "E", "G", and "T" create an expressive rhythm across the warm eggshell backdrop. The monochrome and beige palette gives the artwork a grounded, contemporary look while maintaining clear graphic definition. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a dressing room, home office, study, or teenage room where its fashion-inspired collage feel can set the tone for the space. Because the central motif carries strong graphic detail and typography, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted wall area where the full artwork remains clearly visible. In a dressing area or creative workspace, pairing it with a wall behind a desk or open shelving allows the graphic elements to frame the furniture without feeling cluttered.

Styling it

To balance the bold contrast of the black, white, and eggshell collage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and understated.

• Pair the wallpaper with contemporary furniture in clean black metal or painted monochrome finishes that echo the graphic linework.
• Introduce warm wooden elements to soften the high contrast of the newsprint and typography.
• Keep surrounding decorative accents minimal, allowing the typographic and polka-dot patterns to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The artwork is rooted in classic neutrals: deep black, crisp white, layered newsprint beige, and a warm eggshell ground. For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone tones blend naturally with the background without competing for attention. If you want to introduce more depth, matte black accents or charcoal trims will crisply mirror the bag handles and dot details.
