Wallpaper - Oil Stick Study No.3

Created by Julia Dreams, our Oil Stick Study No.3 wallpaper brings together loose abstract forms and expressive mark-making on a soft off-white backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the chalky, crayon-inspired visual texture, where individual strokes, dotted clusters, curved ribbons, and organic silhouettes create an energetic visual rhythm across the surface. The composition balances bold pops of cobalt blue, bright orange, warm yellow, and dark navy with softer accents of blush pink and pale lemon. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

The playful movement and open spacing make this design an appealing choice for dynamic, creative spaces in the home. In a children's playroom, nursery, or toddler room, we would wrap multiple walls to build an engaging and cheerful environment where the loose geometric shapes have room to repeat. The design also works brilliantly across a feature wall behind a creative work desk in a hobby room, art studio, or teenage room. Because the individual elements are well spaced across a light background, the pattern introduces plenty of personality without feeling visually overcrowded, even in rooms with compact proportions or varied ceiling heights.

Styling it

To complement the eclectic and contemporary character of the artwork, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and simple accents that let the graphic shapes stand out.

• Choose light wood furniture or painted white surfaces to keep the overall atmosphere bright and cohesive.
• Incorporate solid-colour textiles that pick up one of the bolder tones from the motif, such as a cobalt throw or an orange cushion.
• Keep surrounding decorative items relatively minimal and understated so the wall mural remains the central visual focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a lively palette built on an off-white foundation, combining vivid cobalt blue, rich navy, saturated orange, and mustard yellow alongside delicate blush pink and soft pastel yellow. When decorating around this design, you could paint adjacent walls or skirting in a warm, creamy off-white to match the paper's base tone. If you prefer more contrast, deep navy accents create a grounded, modern balance, while accessories in warm ochre or blush pink tie into the softer visual details.
