Wallpaper - Step It Up II

Our Step It Up II wallpaper by Avery Tillmon centres on a bold black high-heel silhouette set against an abstract collage of overlapping newspaper clippings. Layered rectangles in tones of white, eggshell, and neutral beige create a strong sense of depth, with printed text and striking lettering bringing an urban, graphic punch to the composition. The contrast between the stark silhouette and the textured paper backdrop gives the motif an unmistakable editorial feel. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design relies on a strong central focal point and graphic typography, we see it working particularly well as an accent wall in a dressing room, bedroom, or dedicated creative space. In a dressing room or walk-in wardrobe, the fashion motif feels right at home, grounding the room without overwhelming it thanks to the predominantly neutral palette.

In a modern living room or home office, we would place this wall mural on a main uninterrupted wall where the full collage and lettering can be appreciated without being broken up by tall storage units. The high contrast between the solid black silhouette and the lighter background draws the eye immediately, making it a natural centrepiece behind a low sofa or a clean-lined desk.

Styling it

The sharp graphic quality of this design pairs naturally with contemporary and minimalist interiors. To keep the visual balance intact, we suggest surrounding the wallpaper with clean, unadorned furniture that lets the central artwork stand out.

• Choose sleek black metal or dark painted furniture to echo the strong silhouette at the core of the motif.
• Introduce textured woven textiles in off-white or natural linen to soften the room while mirroring the layered feel of the paper collage.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal so the bold lettering and newspaper clippings remain the clear focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of the design is built on crisp black, soft eggshell, and layered beige newspaper tones.

To create a cohesive interior, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with warm off-white or soft stone paint on neighbouring walls. If you want a moodier, more tailored atmosphere, bringing in charcoal grey or deep black accents through woodwork, trim, or lighting fixtures will pick up on the silhouette nicely. Muted neutrals like sand or pale taupe also work effortlessly alongside the collage without competing for attention.
