Wallpaper - Once in a Lifetime

Our Once in a Lifetime wallpaper, created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings an airy abstract composition to the wall through delicate, layered brushwork. Set against a soft white and cream ground, the design balances muted pink and pale blue strokes with warm beige and subtle notes of grey and deep blue. The painted-looking texture and open spacing give the piece an expressive rhythm without overwhelming the room. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design is simple to hang and introduces a calm, artistic focal point to contemporary homes.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in an open living room or a dedicated meditation space where the subtle tonal shifts have space to breathe. Because the composition relies on open, fluid brushstrokes rather than a rigid repeat, it benefits from a wider, uninterrupted wall area where the full movement of the artwork remains visible. In a sitting area, placing it behind a low-backed sofa allows the upper pink and blue tones to carry the eye upwards. Natural daylight highlights the delicate variation between the cream base and the pale blue marks, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmth in the beige elements.

Styling it

When styling our mural wallpapers, we like to keep surrounding pieces relatively understated to let the expressive paintwork take centre stage. In a minimalist or Scandinavian interior, pair the design with low-profile furniture in light ash or pale oak to echo the warm beige undertones. Upholstery in textured neutral bouclé or washed linen complements the visual depth of the brushstrokes without competing for attention. To ground the lighter palette, select a few refined accents in deep navy, dark iron, or matte ceramic that pick up on the subtle darker notes within the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a luminous mix of soft white, cream, muted pink, pale blue, warm beige, and gentle touches of grey and deep blue. For adjacent walls and trim, off-white or soft linen shades create a natural, cohesive transition that keeps the room bright and tranquil. If you want to introduce more depth, draw out the secondary shades by painting nearby cabinetry or woodwork in a muted slate blue or a warm sand tone.
