Wallpaper - Peace

Designed by Carrie Cantwell, our Peace wallpaper brings together bold graphic forms and retro mid-century character. Three overlapping stylized profiles in red, yellow, and blue gaze upward toward a central cream dove carrying an olive branch, set against an energetic sky-blue backdrop. Black linear details define the eyes while soft pink lips accent the silhouettes, creating a striking yet balanced composition inspired by screenprint art of the 1960s. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an expressive visual focal point that fills a room with warmth and artistic intent.

In the room

Because of the scale and strong figurative composition, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full interaction between the figures and the dove can unfold naturally. In a living room or dedicated home office, placing it behind a sofa or low desk allows the artwork to command attention without being broken up by tall furniture. In a quiet study or creative art studio, the rhythmic shapes and primary colour blocks provide a stimulating yet orderly atmosphere. The balance between bold primary tones and the open blue background means it works equally well in compact creative spaces and larger open-plan living areas.

Styling it

To let the expressive artwork lead the space, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture inspired by mid-century or modern Scandinavian design. Low-profile credenzas or seating with simple silhouettes keep the focus squarely on the mural wallpapers without creating visual clutter.

• Choose warm wood tones like teak or medium oak to ground the primary red and yellow shades in the artwork.
• Introduce neutral upholstery in cream or soft off-white to mirror the tone of the dove and maintain visual balance.
• Keep surrounding decorative accents minimal, using simple matte ceramics or dark metal details that echo the fine black linework of the profiles.

Colour combinations

The palette is built on vibrant primary tones of blue, crimson red, and bright yellow, anchored by a rich sky-blue backdrop and complemented by cream, leaf green, and touches of soft pink. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or architectural trim, a warm off-white or soft alabaster lets the wallpaper stand out cleanly. For a more enveloping, colour-led room scheme, pulling the sky blue onto adjacent walls creates an immersive feel, while muted mustard or brick accents in cushions and textiles subtly reflect the profile tones without overpowering the room.
