Wallpaper - Fly Away Gold

Our Fly Away Gold wallpaper brings together sweeping abstract brushstrokes in bold yellow and deep cobalt blue against a crisp white background. Created by Shirley Novak, the design features expressive, energetic movement with delicate yellow dots and soft tonal shifts of pale blue and grey layered into the backdrop. The contrast between the deep blue and bright yellow gives the wall an artistic, fluid presence while keeping plenty of open space. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it easy to hang as a striking focal point.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in an open living room or a dedicated creative home studio. Because the painted forms have so much natural sweep and direction, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the rhythm of the brushwork to breathe without being cut off by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards. In rooms with generous daylight, the subtle grey and pale blue undertones in the white background become much clearer, softening the bold transition between the cobalt and gold.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we recommend keeping the surrounding furniture grounded and relatively clean-lined so the expressive brushwork remains the main focal point. Low-profile seating in neutral fabrics, such as off-white or charcoal, helps anchor the room without competing with the vibrant yellow and blue elements. Clean contemporary pieces in matte black metal or natural dark wood create a balanced contrast against the bright, painterly backdrop.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on rich cobalt blue and vibrant yellow, supported by a white ground with gentle hints of light blue and soft grey. Around the room, we would pair it with crisp white or warm pale grey on adjacent walls to echo the open backdrop. For accent details in cushions, ceramics, or surrounding art, picking up deeper navy tones or muted ochre provides a cohesive link back to the key brushstrokes without overwhelming the space.
