Wallpaper - Shortcake I

Our Shortcake I wallpaper, created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, features expressive vertical brushstrokes layered across a clean, light ground. Soft washes of rose pink, warm beige, muted mauve, rich berry, and translucent white overlap to create an airy, painterly rhythm with subtle painted texture. The varying opacity and slender, elongated shapes give the composition an uplifting, fluid feel that adds warmth without dominating a room. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while bringing an artistic gallery aesthetic into your home.

In the room

In a bedroom or dressing room, we see this design working beautifully behind a headboard or vanity, where the vertical lines draw the eye upward and add a sense of height to the room. The soft rhythm of the brushstrokes also suits a living room or dining area where you want color and artistic expression across a main feature wall without the rigidity of a geometric grid. Because the composition balances dense, overlapping swathes with lighter, open areas, it works comfortably on broad, continuous wall surfaces as well as narrower alcoves in a study or home office.

Styling it

We would pair this mural wallpaper with furniture that has clean, contemporary silhouettes to let the fluid brushwork take center stage. Pieces in light, warm woods or painted neutral finishes balance the soft tones of the pattern effortlessly. For surrounding textiles, smooth woven fabrics in ecru, oatmeal, or muted rose harmonize with the artwork without competing with its visual movement.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft rose pink, deep berry, muted lilac, and warm sand, anchored by subtle white highlights. For adjacent painted walls, trim, or larger cabinetry, we suggest gentle warm whites, sandy beiges, or soft stone tones to maintain an open, luminous backdrop. If you want a more cocooning feel, pulling the richer plum or earthy blush tones from the brushstrokes onto adjoining walls or larger upholstery creates a considered, cohesive atmosphere.
