Wallpaper - Push Pull III

Created by June Erica Vess, our Push Pull III wallpaper captures the dynamic energy of sweeping abstract brushwork across a large scale. The composition balances bold horizontal strokes and diagonal gestures with layered tones of deep charcoal, warm taupe, cool stone grey, and chalky off-white. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is the visible painterly texture within each stroke, giving the flat surface an expressive, graphic depth. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free design with a subtle paper texture, it introduces an artistic focal point that anchors a room without overwhelming it.

In the room

In an open living room or dining space, we love seeing this design applied across a wide, uninterrupted accent wall. The broad horizontal movements and sweeping diagonal lines naturally draw the eye across the space, giving the entire wall a grounded architectural presence. Because the forms are large and expressive, giving the wallpaper room to breathe allows the full rhythm of the brushstrokes to come forward.

We also see this working well behind a bed in a main bedroom or on the primary wall of a dedicated home office. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the subtler transitions between the warm taupe, pale beige, and stone grey layers become especially distinct, while softer artificial light in the evening brings out the bold contrast of the deep charcoal accents.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive abstract design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated so the wall mural remains the focal element.

• Low-profile furniture with simple silhouettes works particularly well here, as it leaves the expansive brushwork largely visible rather than cutting off the lower composition.
• Warm, natural wood finishes like mid-tone oak or walnut offer an earthy warmth that balances the cooler stone and charcoal bands in the artwork.
• Matte black accents, whether in lighting fixtures, slender chair frames, or architectural hardware, cleanly echo the dark graphic marks in the design and tie the room together.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep charcoal, slate grey, muted taupe, warm beige, and soft off-white.

When choosing colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, a muted warm white or soft greige creates a seamless transition that lets the deeper tones stand out. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere, carrying a deep charcoal or slate grey onto adjacent trims or built-in shelving reinforces the graphic strength of the motif. For soft furnishings and upholstery, neutral tones in oatmeal, stone, or deep slate provide a cohesive base that complements the layered colours within the mural.
