Wallpaper - Makeover I

Our Makeover I wallpaper by Chris Paschke brings together bold abstract forms and fluid movement across a clean white background. Two deep black shapes anchor the composition, balanced by a sweeping central brushstroke in rich gold and caramel tones that introduces a painted, oil-like visual texture. What we particularly like about this design is the confident contrast between the sharp graphic contours and the swirling, dynamic gesture at its heart. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it offers a striking, modern focal point designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition relies on a distinct balance between open white space and large-scale gestural forms, we see this working best on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing the design on the primary wall behind a sofa allows the full visual sweep of the central stroke to be appreciated without being broken up by tall furniture. In a quiet home office or study, the clear white field and focused graphic energy create an intentional, uncluttered backdrop that frames the room without overwhelming it.

Styling it

To let the artwork carry the visual focus of the interior, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated:

• Choose low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, allowing the graphic contrast of the black and gold elements to stand out clearly against the wall.
• Pair the motif with dark wood furniture or matte black metal accents to echo the depth of the dark abstract forms in the composition.
• Introduce warm brass or bronze decorative hardware that picks up on the visual warmth of the golden brushwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a high-contrast palette of crisp white, deep black, and warm caramel gold. To support this scheme, we recommend pairing adjacent painted walls with soft off-whites or pale warm greys that prevent the room from feeling stark. If you prefer deeper tones, charcoal grey or muted caramel-brown on surrounding trim or cabinetry can create a cohesive and considered interior envelope.
