Wallpaper - Southern Pride

Our Southern Pride wallpaper, created by artist Michael Mullan, brings together classic Americana motifs in an energetic screenprint-inspired collage. The composition balances musical instruments such as guitars, banjos, saxophones, trumpets, and harmonicas with iconic Western and rural imagery, from cowboy hats and longhorns to farm animals and crawfish. Playful typography including "Howdy Y'all" and "Southern Pride" weaves through the graphic layout, set in bold red, warm gold, and neutral grey tones. Produced custom to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper featuring a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the motif is rich with detail and varied typography, we find it works particularly well as a focal point across a main feature wall. In a teenage room or a lively playroom, placing the design on a wide, relatively open wall gives the complete collage room to read clearly from across the space. The graphic rhythm and bold red accents draw the eye, making it an engaging backdrop behind a low desk, open shelving, or a central seating area. If you are decorating a larger room, pairing this pattern with quieter adjacent walls keeps the atmosphere grounded while letting the narrative print take centre stage.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper provide the primary pattern in the room, keeping surrounding furniture straightforward in shape. Simple painted furniture in off-white or charcoal complements the graphic lines without competing with the illustrated text and instruments. To echo the Americana character of the design, consider introducing warm mid-tone wood or unpolished timber accents in low benches or shelving. Keeping surrounding soft furnishings in solid, unpatterned fabrics allows the detailed screenprint aesthetic of our mural wallpapers to stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The design centres on vibrant red, rich gold, and grounding grey against a neutral backdrop. When painting surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we suggest pulling directly from these core tones. A soft warm grey or muted off-white creates a calm boundary that lets the popping red lettering and motifs stand out clearly. If you prefer deeper contrast in the space, a dark charcoal on skirting boards or doors frames the wall murals cleanly while anchoring the warmer gold and red details.
