Wallpaper - Abstract Brush Strokes 49

Our Abstract Brush Strokes 49 wallpaper by Mareike Bohmer brings together vertical, painted-looking strokes in pale green, dark teal, cornflower blue, lavender, orange, and earthy brown set against a soft light grey background. Each stroke carries varied opacity and visible wash textures, creating an open, layered composition with a distinctly artistic character. We produce this design as made-to-measure mural wallpapers printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it a straightforward way to introduce expressive contemporary art to your walls.

In the room

In a living room or a dedicated home art studio, we like how the vertical flow of the brush strokes leads the eye upward, giving walls a lighter and more open feel. The balance between cooler blue tones and warm accents makes this design adaptable across different wall layouts. On a wider main wall, the full breadth of the painterly marks has space to breathe, allowing the individual textures and gentle overlaps between the strokes to stand out clearly. Because the light grey background remains visible between the coloured strokes, our design also sits comfortably across adjacent walls without overpowering the rest of the space.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest keeping larger furniture shapes clean and contemporary to let the expressive paintwork remain the focal point. Soft, neutral upholstery in pale grey, oatmeal, or off-white works naturally against the background tone of the mural wallpapers, anchoring the seating area without competing for attention.

To echo the warmer notes in the design, we would introduce accent elements in terracotta, muted orange, or warm mid-tone wood. Low-sheen finishes and simple ceramic pieces complement the organic modern aesthetic, balancing the cooler cornflower blue and teal passages with grounded warmth.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on a calm base of light grey and cool cornflower blue, contrasted by deeper teal, soft lavender, pale green, and warm strokes of orange and brown.

For surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend gentle off-whites or pale stone greys that blend quietly into the background field. If you want to draw out the richer tones within the design, consider styling with cushions, throws, or painted shelving in deep teal or rust brown to reinforce the painterly accents in the composition.
