Wallpaper - Shirts and Ties

Our Shirts and Ties wallpaper by Michael Clark brings a lively, sartorial spirit to the wall through an expressive watercolor composition of collared shirts, striped ties, and cufflinks. Rendered in vivid washes of cornflower blue, purple, olive green, and warm yellow, the artwork pairs classic menswear tailoring with an energetic, painterly rhythm. Crisp vertical stripes and folded textures give the repeat a structured yet playful feel, creating an engaging visual statement for personal spaces. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where personal style takes center stage, such as a dressing room, bedroom, or powder room. The distinct vertical lines of the striped shirts and ties draw the eye upward, making it an interesting choice for rooms with standard ceiling heights or smaller wall segments. Because the watercolor artwork carries significant visual personality and rich color saturation, it performs beautifully as an accent wall behind a bed, flanking a wardrobe area, or defining a dedicated dressing space. In a laundry room or guest bathroom, the lighthearted menswear theme adds an unexpected touch of retro character.

Styling it

To let the rhythmic watercolor pattern stand out, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean lines and solid finishes. Mid-century modern silhouettes or tailored, contemporary furnishings complement the retro fashion motif without competing with its intricate detailing.

Painted joinery or smooth wood surfaces in neutral tones allow the bold blues and warm background washes to take focus. To balance the lively stripes and ties, keep surrounding fabrics and window treatments relatively simple in texture and solid in color, letting the wall mural serve as the primary graphic element in the interior.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a vibrant palette of bold blues, rich violet-purple, sunny yellow undertones, and accents of olive green and crisp white.

When decorating around our wallpaper, consider pulling out the soft off-white or cream tones for adjacent walls and trim to maintain an airy atmosphere. For a bolder, cohesive look, deep navy or slate blue on nearby cabinetry or doors grounds the brighter yellow and lilac watercolor washes. If you prefer warmer accents, muted ochre or subtle brass hardware will harmonize naturally with the yellow highlights in the artwork.
