Wallpaper - Kala I

Our Kala I wallpaper, created by Sue Schlabach, brings together heritage floral motifs with a lively block-print-inspired appearance. Set against a light, gently textured off-white background, flowing stems and leaves drawn in deep teal and blue frame stylised blooms filled with soft touches of ochre yellow, fresh green, and delicate pastel pink. The rhythmic, open composition carries a classic decorative charm that feels both cheerful and thoughtfully composed across a wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom-made to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this floral pattern working wonderfully in private spaces such as a bedroom or a dressing room. The flowing linework and balanced scale give the motif enough presence to anchor a feature wall behind a bed, yet the pale ground keeps the overall feeling light enough to wrap around multiple walls without overwhelming the room. In a dressing room or vanity nook, the intricate details of the smaller petals and leafy tendrils reward closer viewing, making smaller wall areas feel finished and inviting.

Styling it

To complement the historic, printmaker aesthetic of this design, we recommend pairing it with painted furniture or gentle, natural finishes.

• Choose furniture in soft off-white, light painted grey, or warm natural timber to maintain the airy balance of the room.
• Introduce soft upholstery and bedding in plain woven linens or muted pastel tones that echo the gentle green, yellow, or pink accents within the flowers.
• Keep surrounding architectural woodwork, such as skirting boards and window frames, in a creamy tone that harmonises with the background of the wallpaper rather than a sharp brilliant white.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on rich teal and slate blue linework over an ivory background, highlighted with cheerful pastel accents of leafy green, mustard yellow, and rose pink. When planning surrounding wall paint, soft off-whites, warm oatmeals, and muted sage greens create a seamless, harmonious companion. If you prefer more definition, pulling a deeper teal from the primary outlines for adjacent joinery or a statement headboard creates an elegant, tailored contrast.
