Wallpaper - Free Forms

Created by Nadine Greeff, our Free Forms wallpaper explores fluid abstraction through soft, overlapping watercolour shapes. The composition balances smoky grey washes with warm, neutral ochre and tan tones, layered against a clean off-white background with expressive edges and delicate pigment bleeds. What we particularly like is the generous visual scale of the sweeping circular and curved forms, giving the motif an open, gallery-inspired character that feels both contemporary and serene. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because of the bold scale and open spacing of the watercolour shapes, we love this design across a wide, uninterrupted living room wall. Giving the repeat sufficient room allows the large curved forms and negative space to breathe, establishing a tranquil focal point behind a low sofa or credenza.

In a dedicated home office, our wallpaper introduces an artistic presence without becoming visually overwhelming. The soft transitions within the smoky grey washes and warm neutrals work especially well in spaces with plenty of natural daylight, where the subtle gradations of the pigment pools and fine paper texture can be fully appreciated.

Styling it

The minimalist, contemporary character of this mural wallpaper pairs beautifully with understated furnishings that share its appreciation for organic form. We recommend low-profile furniture with clean silhouettes, allowing the artwork on the wall to remain the primary visual statement in the space.

To complement the earthy warmth in the neutral tones, pair the wallpaper with warm timber pieces, such as oiled oak or ash. Incorporating matte black architectural accents or lighting fixtures will naturally pick up on the deep charcoal undertones within the grey watercolour pools, tying the room together with balanced contrast.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centres on smoke grey, charcoal washes, soft ochre, and warm neutral tones set against a bright, airy ground.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and trim, softer off-whites and pale stone shades maintain the open, luminous feel of the design. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal grey or muted taupe painted on surrounding architectural elements will draw out the rich, pooled pigments within the circular forms.
