Wallpaper - Teal and Ink I

Our Teal and Ink I wallpaper brings together expressive charcoal ink washes, soft grey gradients, and vivid splashes of turquoise blue against a crisp white ground. Created by Chris Paschke, the abstract composition balances deep, dense brushwork with translucent, watery bleeds that celebrate the fluid nature of ink drawing. The bold contrast and energetic splatters give the motif an immediate, modern gallery presence. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper, this design brings dynamic visual energy to contemporary spaces while maintaining a clean, considered balance.

In the room

Because the design features a large, dramatic central form surrounded by generous white space, we like giving this mural wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the brushwork can be appreciated. In a living room behind a low sofa or across an open dining room wall, it acts as a striking focal point without overwhelming the entire space. We also see this working exceptionally well in a creative home office, studio, or modern bedroom, particularly on a feature wall where daylight can highlight the subtle gradient transitions between jet black, charcoal grey, and soft wash tones.

Styling it

To let the expressive fluid forms take centre stage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture minimal and architectural. Low-profile seating and streamlined pieces in matte black metal or clean white finishes mirror the graphic clarity of the artwork. If you want to introduce warmth, natural pale wood tones like ash or bleached oak provide an organic counterpoint to the deep ink tones without competing for attention. Keep decorative accents restrained, perhaps echoing the blue ink splash through a single piece of modern ceramic or a simple accent cushion.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep charcoal grey and pitch black, softened by translucent smoky grey washes and vibrant cerulean teal blue over a clean off-white background. For adjoining painted walls, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with soft, neutral whites or light warm greys that let the white background blend seamlessly into the room. If you prefer higher contrast, a deep charcoal accent on adjacent woodwork or architectural trim can frame the mural beautifully, while small touches of rich turquoise or teal in soft furnishings will tie into the lively paint splashes.
