Wallpaper - Potatoes

Created by Lisa Wirenfelt, our Potatoes wallpaper brings an expressive, abstract sensibility to the wall with its playful forms and considered graphic contrast. At the centre of the composition sits an organic, abstract shape rendered in earthy beige and warm tan, accented with subtle yellow nuances against a calm off-white ground. Bold black calligraphic loops and a smaller purple loop cut across the surface, lending dynamic movement and a distinct art-print feel to the overall layout. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings personality and modern artistic flair to casual living spaces, playrooms, and creative studies alike.

In the room

Because of its large-scale abstract motif and strong central graphic elements, we particularly like using our Potatoes design on a main feature wall where the entire composition has space to be seen. In a casual living room or open family area, placing it behind a low-backed sofa allows the black loops and organic curves to remain fully in view.

It also works remarkably well in a creative home office, teenage bedroom, or playroom. The interplay between the neutral, earthy ground and the lively linear details gives the space an artful backdrop without feeling visually chaotic. If you are decorating a room with standard ceiling heights, the vertical rhythm of the looped forms helps draw the eye upwards, making the wall feel open and airy.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we suggest balancing the wall with simple furniture shapes and understated surrounding finishes.

• Choose furniture with clean, minimalist profiles in warm oak or painted neutral finishes to echo the earthy tan tones without competing with the bold black line work.
• Introduce tactile accents in natural fibres, such as flat-weave rugs or unbleached cotton cushions, to complement the organic, painterly quality of the design.
• Consider subtle matte black details in floor lamps, picture frames, or chair legs to pick up the deep black loops and tie the broader room together.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Potatoes wallpaper is built around a gentle off-white base, an earthy beige and tan centrepiece, soft yellow hints, and sharp black loops with a discreet pop of purple.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, warm plaster tones, soft greiges, or creamy off-whites will create a seamless, cohesive look. If you prefer higher contrast, a deep charcoal or muted slate grey on woodwork and baseboards will ground the room and highlight the graphic black brushwork. For textiles and decorative objects, warm ochre, muted mustard, or subtle plum accents will naturally echo the tonal nuances found within the motif.
