Wallpaper - Shortcake II

Designed by Mercedes Lopez Charro, our Shortcake II wallpaper brings a rhythmic, painterly composition to life through layered horizontal brush strokes. Sweeping bands in rose pink, deep berry red, soft beige, and translucent white glide across a pale backdrop, revealing subtle watercolour-like transparencies and layered depth where the strokes overlap. The elongated forms provide an expansive horizontal flow that feels both structured and effortlessly fluid. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper introduces warm colour and contemporary abstract artistry to any interior.

In the room

Because of its horizontal brushwork and gentle cadence, we find this mural wallpapers design particularly effective in spaces where you want to visually widen a room. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully behind a headboard, stretching across the wall to create a restful backdrop without dominating the space. We also love seeing this design in a living room or dressing room, where the balance of light tones and richer raspberry-red accents adds character to main feature walls. The relatively light background keeps the room feeling airy, making it equally well suited to a bright home office or creative studio.

Styling it

We recommend letting the fluid brush strokes set the tone for the room by pairing them with clean-lined furniture that balances the organic shapes. Mid-century silhouettes and modern minimalist pieces work exceptionally well against this backdrop.

When introducing materials, warm woods like oak or light walnut naturally enhance the sandy beige and ochre undertones in the pattern. For upholstered pieces, textured woven fabrics in neutral off-whites or soft greys allow the rose and berry shades of the mural to stand out without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a palette of rose pink, blush, rich berry red, warm beige, and crisp white. When choosing surrounding wall colours or woodwork, soft neutral creams and warm alabaster whites create a seamless connection with the design's background. If you prefer more contrast, deep wine tones or muted terracotta on adjacent walls, architectural trim, or textiles will pick up the bolder strokes in the artwork and ground the overall scheme.
