Wallpaper - Dusk and Pastel I

In our Dusk and Pastel I wallpaper, created with artist Chris Paschke, sweeping watercolour washes in blush pink, soft peach, and warm beige meet dark navy brushstrokes that stretch horizontally across the surface like an abstract horizon. Subtle accents of gold alongside patches of cool blue and green give the composition a layered, landscape-like depth. We love how the expressive fluid strokes balance against the gentle pastel foundation, creating an artistic accent wall with a calm visual rhythm. Printed to order to your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers are produced on paper with a subtle surface structure and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the design is built around broad, horizontal sweeps of colour, we see this working especially well on wider, uninterrupted walls where the landscape-inspired movement can unfold fully across the room. In a living room, it makes a striking backdrop behind a low-profile sofa, grounding the seating area without overwhelming it with rigid pattern. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper behind the bed creates an enveloping, tranquil focal point that works nicely in both compact and more generous rooms. The balanced mix of warm pastel tones and deep navy also sits comfortably in a home office, where the fluid watercolour strokes offer an inspiring, artful backdrop.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour details take centre stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined contemporary or organic modern furniture that shares its soft visual warmth.

• Choose low-slung furniture in pale, natural wood finishes or light upholstery to keep the lower half of the room feeling light and open against the horizontal navy bands.
• Introduce understated warm metal accents, such as brushed brass lamps or hardware, which tie into the golden elements within the design without competing for attention.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured rather than heavily patterned, allowing the layered watercolour brushwork to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a delicate base of blush pink, peach, and muted beige, punctuated by dark navy, hints of gold, and soft blue and green washes. When decorating around it, we recommend drawing on the paler background tones for adjacent walls, using soft off-white, muted plaster pink, or warm sand to maintain an open and cohesive atmosphere. If you prefer a richer contrast, deeper navy or indigo on accent woodwork, shelving, or upholstered seating will pick up the darker horizon line and anchor the space beautifully.
