Wallpaper - Tounge Up Close

Our Tounge Up Close wallpaper brings bold abstract forms and striking colour contrast to the wall. A prominent cherry red shape anchors the composition, set against sweeping dark and light blue lines that give the artwork continuous movement and graphic depth. Smooth, painted-looking brush strokes and overlapping forms create visual balance between broad fields of colour and clean directional linework. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while delivering an expressive, art-led focal point.

In the room

Because of its dynamic composition and strong contrast, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a creative home studio. The large scale of the red form and the sweeping blue curves benefit from a wider, uninterrupted wall where the complete abstract balance can be appreciated from across the room. In open-plan living spaces, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa or along a main focal wall immediately defines the seating area without requiring extra decorative clutter on surrounding surfaces.

Styling it

The expressive postmodern character of our wallpaper calls for deliberate, confident interior choices:

• Balance the energetic red and blue tones with furniture in clean, sculptural silhouettes, avoiding fussy detailing that competes with the motif.
• Introduce neutral upholstery in off-white, light grey, or muted charcoal to give the eye a calm place to rest against the wall.
• Ground the room with warm wood accents, such as a low media console or side table, to add visual warmth alongside the cooler blue lines.
• Keep wall-mounted lighting simple and directional, ensuring evening light highlights the painted brush-stroke character without causing harsh glare across the paper.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by a bold cherry red paired with both deep navy and lighter sky-blue tones. When decorating around our wallpapers, we recommend picking out the softer blue shades for small accents like cushions or ceramic pieces to tie the room together naturally. On adjacent walls, neutral paint colours like warm alabaster, soft mist grey, or deep slate blue complement the red without competing for attention.
