Wallpaper - Scraped Sand I

In our Scraped Sand I wallpaper, created by artist Chris Paschke, sweeping curved gestures meet soft translucent layers across a pale white backdrop. Broad, scraped brushstrokes in quiet beige and cool grey tones overlap with fine line work, capturing the visual quality of plaster, stucco, and delicate watercolour washes. What we particularly appreciate about this contemporary abstract composition is its airy visual balance, giving walls a light sense of movement without overwhelming the room. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The open composition and light palette make this design wonderfully versatile across different residential spaces. In a living room or primary bedroom, we like using it on a wider feature wall behind a sofa or bed frame, where the sweeping arches have ample room to unfold across the surface. Because the contrast remains soft and muted, it also sits comfortably across multiple walls in a home study, guest room, or reading corner without feeling visually heavy. In an entryway or hallway, the fluid arches introduce an inviting rhythm as you move through the space.

Styling it

To complement the organic geometry and calm nature of the artwork, we suggest leaning into contemporary minimalist or organic modern interior schemes:

• Pair the wall mural with low-profile furniture featuring soft, rounded contours or clean architectural lines that echo the curved strokes in the motif.
• Introduce natural finishes such as warm whitewashed timber or light ash alongside simple ceramic vessels to ground the airy background.
• Select tactile upholstery and window coverings in unbleached linen or textured bouclé to bring depth and warmth to the surrounding space.

Colour combinations

Our design is built on a crisp snow white base layered with muted grey lines and translucent strokes of sand, warm beige, and soft stone. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, skirting, and ceilings, we recommend clean off-whites, chalky greys, or pale pebble tones to let the mural flow naturally into the architecture. For subtle contrast, deeper charcoal accents or warm taupe upholstery work beautifully to pull out the darker line work without overpowering the design's delicate balance.
