Wallpaper - Asking for Too Much

Our Asking for Too Much wallpaper, created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings together soft lavender and pastel pink tones with dynamic, high-contrast brushwork. Splashes of deep blue, black, and crisp white interlock across the composition, while sharp red and peach strokes slice through the softer base to create a sense of constant movement. The artwork balances fluid, curving gestures with angular marks and expressive, painted-looking visual textures. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring an energetic, gallery-worthy presence to modern interiors.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and sweeping abstract gestures, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or dedicated creative studio. In a living area, placing the mural on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall behind a sofa allows the full rhythm of the brushstrokes to unfold without being broken up by tall furniture.

In a bedroom, the softer pastel pink and lavender backdrop keeps the design grounded, making it an engaging backdrop behind a bed frame. The contrast between deep blues, blacks, and warmer red accents carries visual weight effortlessly, so the wallpaper works especially well in rooms with generous natural light where the finer tonal shifts in the paint strokes can be fully appreciated.

Styling it

To let the dynamic nature of the artwork lead the space, we would anchor the room with furniture that features clean, modern silhouettes and quiet finishes. Grounding the wall with low-profile seating or minimalist storage prevents the composition from feeling overcrowded.

When choosing accent pieces, you can echo the sharp lines of the design through black metal details or streamlined contemporary frames. Balancing these graphic elements with soft, unpatterned upholstery in neutral tones ensures the room feels cohesive, allowing the expressive energy of the wall mural to remain the clear focal point.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a foundation of delicate lavender and pastel pink, punctuated by deep blue, intense black, clean white, and lively strokes of red and peach.

To complement this distinctive palette on surrounding surfaces, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites or pale grey-lavender paint on adjacent walls to extend its airy feel. If you prefer a richer, more dramatic mood, drawing out the deep blue or charcoal tones for painted woodwork, low credenzas, or velvet soft furnishings creates a striking, considered contrast that frames the motif beautifully.
