Wallpaper - Kites

Our Kites wallpaper, designed by Michael Clark, captures the lively spirit of a breezy afternoon with colourful geometric kites climbing through an open sky. Painterly strokes and soft cloud textures create an airy, dynamic backdrop, while vibrant diamond kites and box kites in shades of warm orange, yellow, crimson, and blush pink drift across the blue expanse. Trailing bows and thin strings add gentle diagonal movement across the composition. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing a playful and nostalgic character to modern interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom where the cheerful motifs and uplifting sky theme create an imaginative setting. Because the design has plenty of vertical and diagonal movement, it brings energy to a feature wall behind a cot or low bed without overwhelming the entire space.

Beyond standard vertical walls, our design is particularly suited to ceilings. Installing this motif overhead allows the open sky and soaring kites to draw the gaze upward, making a compact bedroom or play area feel open and expansive. In larger rooms, placing the pattern across a broad, uninterrupted wall allows the different kite shapes and flowing ribbon tails to be appreciated in full.

Styling it

Because the artwork features strong visual movement and distinct geometric forms, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Light wood furniture, such as natural ash, birch, or pale pine, complements the warm tones of the kites and maintains a light, Scandinavian-inspired feel throughout the room.

To let the wallpaper serve as the main focal point, pair it with plain, textured textiles in unbleached cotton or soft woven wool. Simple floating shelves or low storage units keep wall space open, ensuring the flowing strings and colourful tails remain visible.

Colour combinations

The backdrop is defined by a soft sky blue with light, textured white clouds, accented by vibrant pops of mango orange, bright yellow, plum, and soft pink in the kites.

For surrounding walls, woodwork, and skirting, a clean off-white or very pale chalky cream will mirror the airy clouds and maintain a crisp frame around the pattern. If you prefer to draw on the palette's warmer notes, muted terracotta, warm ochre, or dusty pink work nicely for soft furnishings, cushions, or painted storage units.
