Wallpaper - Checks, Forest

Our Checks, Forest wallpaper brings a relaxed rhythm to a classic geometric motif. Designed with creator Blue Bee Studios, the pattern sets wavy, hand-drawn lines across a crisp white backdrop to form an irregular grid in earthy army green. This soft, undulating structure gives the check an organic, approachable feel rather than a rigid architectural line. Produced to order as custom made wallpaper murals, our design is PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface texture that complements its honest character.

In the room

We find this balanced check pattern works exceptionally well in practical, high-traffic residential areas like entryways, mudrooms, and hallways. The repeating geometric grid adds visual order without feeling sterile, helping to define transitional areas of the home. Because the line work is slightly fluid and the contrast is soft, the pattern can easily wrap around corners or cover multiple walls without overpowering the space.

In a kitchen, pantry, or laundry room, the green grid pairs naturally with cabinetry and open shelving. The scale of the squares remains clear even when broken up by coat hooks, door frames, or wall-mounted cupboards. For smaller spaces like an entryway or cloakroom, the white ground keeps the wall visually open, while the army green checks add enough character to create a distinct, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step inside.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we like to lean into its relaxed heritage feel. Traditional painted joinery, tongue-and-groove panelling, and classic Shaker-style cupboards sit very comfortably against the hand-drawn grid. In utility spaces or mudrooms, simple brass or aged bronze hardware and utilitarian peg rails create a charming, lived-in aesthetic.

For furniture, we suggest combining this pattern with warm, mid-toned woods or painted timber rather than ultra-modern, high-gloss finishes. A simple woven wool runner in an entryway or unbleached linen cafe curtains in a kitchen will echo the quiet, understated nature of the design without competing with the grid pattern.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on two tones: an earthy army green and a clean, neutral white background.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we recommend pulling directly from the green check with muted olive, sage, or deep loden tones. If you prefer a lighter surrounding palette, off-white, soft cream, or warm chalky neutrals will harmonize seamlessly with the base paper. For accent details in surrounding decor, terracotta, warm ochre, or natural unpainted timber provide a grounded, complementary contrast to the green tones.
