Wallpaper - Smiley Faces

Designed by Martyshova, our Smiley Faces wallpaper brings a playful, retro Memphis graphic character to life against a deep black background. The repeat is packed with bold cartoon-inspired motifs, including melting yellow smiley faces, grinning pink hearts, expressive red pipes, animated cherries, globes, and quirky potted flowers interspersed with colourful squiggles and confetti sprinkles. With its punchy contrasts and vibrant flat illustrations, this design creates a lively visual rhythm across any surface. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, high-impact look that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

This is one of our most energetic wallpapers, making it a natural choice for rooms dedicated to creativity and fun. We see it working exceptionally well in a playroom, teenage room, or a dedicated home art studio where its graphic personality can set an inspiring, whimsical backdrop. Because the black backdrop provides strong contrast for the bright saturated shapes, it creates an immediate focal point when used on a feature wall, such as behind a study desk or along an open play area. For rooms with plenty of natural daylight or bold overhead lighting, the crisp outlines and saturated tones remain sharp and defined from every angle.

Styling it

When decorating around such a bold pattern, we suggest balancing the expressive energy of the wall with clean, contemporary interior elements.

• Pair the wallpaper with modern furniture in clean-lined silhouettes, such as lacquered white, matte black, or brightly painted storage units that echo the graphic feel of the motif.
• Introduce solid, saturated accent pieces in primary red, cobalt blue, or bright yellow to pick up on specific characters without overloading the room with competing patterns.
• Keep surrounding flooring and rugs relatively simple, choosing smooth poured concrete, light timber, or a solid neutral rug so the focus remains entirely on the wall design.

Colour combinations

The pattern itself is built upon a solid black ground filled with vibrant shades of bright yellow, cherry red, sky blue, bubblegum pink, grass green, and crisp white outlines. When selecting colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, and larger furniture, pure white or light grey creates a sharp, graphic frame that lets the artwork stand out. Alternatively, painting adjacent trim or doors in a bold gloss red or deep matte black can tie the whole scheme together into a confident, Memphis-inspired interior.
