Top 5 Merry Makewell Designs Patterns for Spoonflower's New Metallic Wallpapers

Spoonflower have recently released Gold and Silver metallic wallpapers.  Designs will be printed on a gold or silver base to give a shiny, metallic finish.

Having looked through my design catalogue there are a few designs that are just crying out to be printed on a gold or silver base.  Here are my top 5 pattern recommendations for Spoonflower's new metallic wallpaper range.
​

1.  Mirror Ball Wall

The silver base will complement and enhance the mirror tile effect of this design.  Although silver is the obvious choice for the base, it looks pretty good on gold too.  Mirror Tiles is a similar design that would also pair perfectly with the silver wallpaper base.

2. Entwinted - pink and gold

The original design features reddish-pink geometry interspersed with golden accents.  The gold wallpaper base adds an enticing warmth and richness to the original colours and gives the gold accents a more realistic feel.  

3.  Patterns from the Autumn Splendour collection

These patterns are excellent candidates for the gold metallic base, which adds a warm glow to the yellow, orange and red hues.

4.  Doodled Doodlebugs

There are 17 variations of the Doodled Doodlebugs pattern on 10 different background colours.  The gold and silver bases affect each of the background colours in different ways.  In most cases the colours are warmed up when placed on the gold base, but in some cases the colours are quite changed - for example the purple background takes on a warm chestnut hue (as shown above) and the blue background appears more emerald.  In any case the results are striking.
​

5. ​Ice Blue Ribbon Lattice

The cool, subtle blues in this design are a natural match for the silver metallic base.
