Wallpaper - Hands of Unity

Created by Don Forthuber, our Hands of Unity wall mural brings a dynamic, expressive energy to the wall through an intricate collage of handprints, peace symbols, and painted lettering. Anchored by the bold red statement "HANDS ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY" running across the upper composition, the artwork layers vivid strokes of cobalt blue, bright red, sunshine yellow, emerald green, and purple over an expressive landscape backdrop. The dense overlay of names, messages, and painted silhouettes creates an immediate sense of shared human connection and community spirit. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an inspiring focal point with genuine visual depth.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal flow and dense graphic detail across the composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the complete artwork can unfold without heavy disruption. It makes a lively statement in a creative home art studio, a dedicated playroom, or a teenage room where bold colour and expressive art feel right at home. In a spacious room, giving the wallpaper a wide wall allows the layered painted words and smaller handprints to be explored up close while still delivering high visual impact from across the space.

Styling it

With such a dense, colourful visual field, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture and decor relatively grounded to let the wall mural take centre stage. Clean-lined furniture in simple silhouettes balances the organic, graffiti-like energy of the print.

• Pair the wallpaper with simple white, charcoal, or light wood furniture to avoid competing with the rich layering of the artwork.
• Use solid-colour textiles on bedding, cushions, or seating that pick up on a single accent tone from the wall, such as cobalt blue or bright yellow, rather than adding competing patterns.
• Keep wall fixtures and shelving minimal so the text and handprint motifs remain visible and unobstructed across the wall.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a full spectrum of vivid primary and secondary shades, with rich red, deep cobalt blue, grass green, sunny yellow, warm orange, and violet playing against a sky blue and earthy background. When choosing colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, crisp bright white or soft off-white provides a clean, gallery-style frame that lets the mural's saturated tones stand out. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling out a rich navy blue or charcoal grey for trim or adjoining surfaces anchors the vibrant handprints and creates a striking, modern envelope.
