Wallpaper - Smears

Our Smears wallpaper brings together powder blue tones with accents of yellow, red, and white across an expressive abstract composition. Painted brushstrokes, streaks, and splatters create an energetic, layered surface where areas of thick pigment contrast with visual glimpses of underlying canvas. The fluid movement and painterly detail give our design a contemporary, gallery-inspired presence on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper, each piece is PVC-free and features a subtle physical structure in the paper, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its expressive brushwork and dynamic composition, we find our Smears design works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room or creative home studio. Giving the mural wallpaper a broader wall allows the full sweep of abstract marks and color variations to be appreciated without feeling crowded. In a larger living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low sofa creates an engaging focal point while keeping the upper visual movement unobstructed. The interplay between softer powder blue and energetic accent colors adds visual depth to open spaces, lending the room a distinct artistic character.

Styling it

When styling around our Smears wallpaper, we recommend balancing the energetic brushwork with clean-lined contemporary furniture. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, such as warm off-white or charcoal grey, allows the expressive mural wallpapers to take centre stage. For surrounding accents, smooth matte ceramics or simple brushed dark metal light fixtures complement the modern, eclectic feel without competing with the painted visual texture.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper relies on a gentle powder blue base punctuated by lively touches of primary red, yellow, and crisp white. When painting adjacent walls or trim, soft chalky whites, pale sky blues, or muted greys provide a quiet background that connects directly with the cooler tones in the design. For a more graphic look, small accent details in deep navy or subtle ochre can echo the richer streaks in the motif.
