At Eva Sonaike, I believe your home should reflect who you are—not just where you live. Our wallpapers are much more than decoration; they’re stories printed onto paper. Stories of heritage, of bold self-expression, of beauty that uplifts you every single day.
I know many people feel nervous about using colour or pattern—worried it might feel too loud, too much, too hard to style. But done right, bold design doesn’t overwhelm—it anchors a room, brings rhythm and harmony, and sparks conversation. So I’ve designed every one of our wallpapers to do just that. Whether you're working with a quiet reading nook or a grand hallway, these prints help you create spaces that feel intentional, curated, and full of soul.
Each design is inspired by West African aesthetics and storytelling, reinterpreted through a modern lens, and printed in England on the highest quality paper. It’s design with purpose—created to elevate your home, inspire your senses, and celebrate a more colourful way of living.

3 Ways to Style Bold Wallpaper with Personality
There’s no one way to use wallpaper beautifully. Whether you lean towards high-impact drama, minimalist elegance, or joyful pattern mixing, the key is to make it feel like you. Below are three simple yet striking ways to style your walls with confidence.
1.Gallery-Style Drama
This look is all about strong lines, bold symmetry and making a statement the moment you walk in. Think of your wall as a curated gallery—let the pattern speak, and keep the styling around it sculptural and intentional. It's a wonderful way to highlight entryways or create a focal point in a creative studio.
This style works beautifully with our more structured geometric designs, especially in vibrant colourways. Whether paired with warm woods or tonal layering, it feels curated yet full of character.
2. Minimalist Chic
Just because a space is calm doesn’t mean it can’t have personality. For this look, I suggest a wallpaper that has subtle texture or a tonal batik pattern—something that adds interest without overpowering the room. The effect is quietly luxurious.
I love this approach in bedrooms or reading corners, where you want to feel grounded and relaxed. The asa Collection works especially well here, and comes in soft, elegant colourways like stone grey, warm copper, lilac, uplifting yellow, refreshing green, and sky blue. These shades bring a hint of culture and craftsmanship into a minimalist setting, without breaking the stillness.
3. The Creative Mix
This one’s for the expressive souls. Don’t be afraid to combine two different wallpaper designs from the same tonal family. I often suggest layering a strong motif like our blue Aye wallpaper with a quieter one, such as asa sky—like a bolder planetary pattern next to a soft batik—then tying them together with accents in your cushions, rugs or artwork.
This look brings energy, playfulness, and a sense of individuality to a space, while still feeling cohesive. It’s a beautiful choice for dining areas, children’s rooms or anywhere you want your walls to feel alive.
The Asa Collection was designed with this in mind, and also pairs beautifully with the more celestial-inspired prints from our range. And yes, Aye is also available in pink.
Why Our Wallpapers Are Different
Every wallpaper I create is rooted in cultural storytelling—specifically, the colours, patterns and meaning found across West African design traditions. But they’re also made for how we live today. That means they’re easy to hang, beautifully printed in England, and crafted to last.
These designs aren’t trends. They’re timeless, soulful additions to your space that make your home feel more like you. So whether you're choosing one wall or wrapping an entire room, you’re not just decorating—you’re telling a story.
And most importantly, you’re giving yourself permission to live more colourfully, with purpose and joy.
