Wallpaper - Calico Lilies

Our Calico Lilies wallpaper by Haley Knighten brings together graphic still life composition and a warm, earthy colour palette. The artwork centres on a deep red vase holding soft white lily-like blooms and pale pink leaves, set against a rich, warm brown backdrop. Grounding the lower section of the design, an irregular checkered grid in black, cream, beige, and reddish-brown introduces a playful geometric contrast to the organic floral shapes above. Produced to order according to your exact wall dimensions, our wallpapers are entirely PVC-free and printed on paper featuring a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in an open-plan dining room or as a focal point in a living room. Because the composition is anchored by the checkered base and tall floral arrangement, we recommend placing it on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall where the complete vertical balance can be appreciated. In a dining area, positioning the design alongside a dining table allows the graphic vase motif to sit naturally in sight, while in a living space, it brings an artistic, gallery-like presence behind a low sofa or credenza.

Styling it

The blend of bold illustration and warm earth tones makes this wallpaper a natural match for organic modern and contemporary interiors. To let the artwork lead, we suggest styling the surrounding room with simple, considered shapes:

• Choose low-profile furniture in natural finishes such as warm timber or dark stained wood, keeping silhouettes clean so they don't compete with the checkered base.
• Introduce neutral upholstery in oatmeal, cream, or beige to echo the lighter tones within the floral petals and grid.
• Incorporate matte ceramic accents or subtle dark metal hardware to complement the graphic black and deep red tones in the composition.

Colour combinations

Our design draws on a verified palette of rich burgundy and terracotta red, warm earthy brown, soft off-white, dusty pink, and contrasting black and cream. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with warm neutral shades like soft sand, parchment, or muted cream. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, a deep cocoa brown or subtle reddish-terracotta on woodwork and trim ties directly into the base of the artwork.
