Wallpaper - The Functionalist, Green

Our The Functionalist, Green wallpaper brings together circles, semi-circles, and quarter-circles across a rhythmic grid, creating a screenprint-inspired composition full of visual movement. Overlapping arcs, fan-like segments, and solid geometric forms interact in shades of fresh green, deep army green, earthy tones, grey, and crisp white. What we particularly like about this retro 20th-century-inspired design is how the structured layout balances a playful energy with mid-century graphic order. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working well on a main feature wall behind a sofa or along a wider uninterrupted wall where the full geometric sequence can unfold. The repeating arcs and circular segments bring steady rhythm to the space without feeling chaotic. In a home office or study, our design introduces an energetic, artistic backdrop that defines the work zone while keeping the overall atmosphere grounded through its balanced green and earthy palette. Because the pattern relies on clear geometry and modular repeats, it holds its structure well even when partially framed by furniture.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the wallpaper take centre stage, we would pair it with furniture that has clean, architectural lines. Mid-century modern pieces, whether in warm teak, walnut, or painted black finishes, complement the twentieth-century design heritage of the motif. For surrounding upholstery and larger elements, smooth textured fabrics in neutral off-white or charcoal create a crisp dialogue with the screenprint look. Keeping decorative clutter minimal allows the geometric shapes and arcs to remain the focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich mix of army green, fresh leaf greens, earthy undertones, soft grey, and white. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we suggest pulling directly from these tones. A muted olive or sage green on adjacent surfaces extends the botanical warmth of the wallpaper, while an off-white or pale stone grey creates a brighter, higher-contrast frame. For accents, deep forest greens or warm terracotta-inspired tones tie naturally into the earthy character of the palette.
