Wallpaper - Paper Bag II

Our Paper Bag II wallpaper by Avery Tillmon brings a layered collage motif to life through an arrangement of newspaper and magazine clippings set in a structured rectangular block. Working with a restrained palette of black, white, and warm beige against an off-white background, the composition balances clean geometric lines with raw, overlapping paper edges. Prominent typographic elements, including bold lettering like "S" and "E", give the design a graphic character while maintaining an understated, abstract feel. Printed to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our made-to-measure wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated study. Because the collage motif is contained within a central rectangular structure surrounded by open, off-white space, it benefits from a wall that allows the full shape of the artwork to sit comfortably without feeling crowded. Placing it behind a low-profile desk or above a sofa gives the graphic typography and paper details room to be appreciated up close, while keeping the overall space feeling open. In a teenage room or creative hobby space, the contemporary collage style adds a modern visual focal point without overpowering smaller room proportions.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into contemporary or minimalist interiors with clean-lined silhouettes that complement the structured composition.

• Choose furniture with matte black metal accents or slim profiles to echo the bold typography in the artwork.
• Pair with warm, pale timber pieces to pick up on the gentle beige undertones within the paper clippings.
• Keep surrounding soft furnishings simple and solid, avoiding competing graphic patterns so the central collage remains the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in off-white, ivory, beige, black, and soft grey tones. To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest taking cues from these neutral foundation shades:

Adjacent walls work naturally in warm off-white, pale ivory, or soft limestone tones to let the wallpaper's background blend quietly into the wider room. For painted joinery, doors, or shelving, a muted charcoal or soft black creates a sharp, graphic frame that highlights the printed text. If you want to introduce deeper warmth through furniture or textiles, warm stone, toasted oatmeal, or soft taupe complement the natural beige elements in the collage.
