Wallpaper - In Control

Our In Control wallpaper showcases a large-scale gaming controller rendered in an expressive graphite sketch style. Designed by Wild Apple Portfolio, the motif features dense cross-hatching, stippled shading, and soft textural spray across a clean neutral backdrop. The monochrome palette of smokey grey, deep charcoal, and off-white gives modern gaming culture a distinctly artistic, graphic feel. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a striking focal point with a contemporary, creative edge.

In the room

Because of the bold central placement and oversized scale of the controller, we see this wall mural working especially well on a primary feature wall. In a teenage room or dedicated gaming space, positioning the design across the main uninterrupted wall behind a desk setup or low bed allows the complete sketched silhouette to command attention without feeling crowded. The generous white space surrounding the illustration keeps the visual weight balanced, ensuring the room feels open and graphic rather than cluttered.

Styling it

To complement the graphic line work and modern subject matter, we suggest pairing this design with contemporary furnishings featuring clean, simple profiles. Black metal shelving or desk frames echo the darker charcoal tones of the buttons and cross-hatching, while smooth matte grey or white cabinetry prevents the space from competing with the detailed sketch texture. A touch of raw timber, such as a pale ash desk or shelving, adds natural warmth to the monochrome scheme without distracting from the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built entirely around neutral tones, blending smokey grey, graphite, and charcoal against an off-white field. For surrounding painted surfaces, matching adjacent walls in soft off-white or light cool grey creates a seamless backdrop that allows the mural to stand out. If you prefer higher contrast, deep charcoal or slate paint on surrounding architectural trim or adjacent walls provides an intentional, modern framing effect.
