Wallpaper - Ink Splash II

Created by Chris Paschke, our Ink Splash II wallpaper captures the expressive energy of fluid ink strokes across a clean white backdrop. Bold black ink shapes and delicate splatters sweep through the composition, softened by subtle washes of charcoal and mid-tone grey that add visual depth. Shimmering gold leaf accents punctuate the darker gestures, introducing warmth and distinct focal points. Printed to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this made-to-measure design brings an artistic, contemporary presence to modern living spaces and creative rooms.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and generous white negative space, we see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the ink gestures can unfold naturally. In an open-plan living room or positioned behind a bed in the bedroom, it creates an immediate focal point without overwhelming the surrounding area. The high contrast between the saturated black marks and the pale background gives the pattern a dynamic rhythm, making it equally fitting for a dining room wall or an entryway where you want a confident artistic statement. In a home office or creative studio, placing the mural on the main feature wall keeps the environment feeling open, modern, and visually engaging.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, architectural lines and a relatively quiet profile.

• Ground the space with mid-century modern or contemporary furniture featuring slim black metal frames, which naturally echo the sharp ink contours of the wallpaper.
• Introduce warm wood tones such as walnut or natural oak in tables, shelving, or flooring to balance the cooler monochrome washes and bring out the warmth of the gold accents.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles in solid, textured neutral fabrics like oatmeal, stone, or charcoal to avoid competing with the gestural movement on the wall.

Colour combinations

The design is anchored by saturated black, varying shades of charcoal grey, crisp white, and delicate touches of warm gold. When painting adjacent walls or selecting trim colours, we recommend clean off-whites, pale chalky greys, or muted charcoal tones that tie back into the ink washes. For decorative accents and textiles, incorporating brushed brass or soft ochre pieces will subtly highlight the golden details in the print, while matte black finishes will reinforce the strong graphic character of the composition.
