Wallpaper - Making Space for Something New

Our Making Space for Something New wallpaper, created in collaboration with Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings an airy, painted composition to the wall. Set against a soft, bright white ground, broad painterly brushwork creates visual depth with layered touches of grey and beige, while delicate blends of blue and green drift across the surface. Darker blue accents anchor the lighter areas without overwhelming the open composition. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to introduce expressive contemporary art into your home.

In the room

In a spacious living room, we love seeing this design across a wide, main wall where the broad brushstrokes and open negative space can be viewed from across the room. The generous white areas keep the atmosphere feeling light, allowing the wallpaper to introduce subtle movement without crowding a room. Because the visual weight is balanced by delicate tonal transitions, it also works wonderfully in a quiet sitting room or dedicated meditation space. If you are placing it behind a low sofa or credenza, the composition remains engaging because the darker accents and soft green-blue passages draw the eye upward into the lighter field above.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with contemporary or minimalist furniture that shares its appreciation for clean lines and uncluttered spaces. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery lets the brushwork remain the focal point of the room. A coffee table or shelving in pale ash or bleached oak introduces natural warmth that echoes the soft beige undertones of the artwork, while a few slim black or dark blue metal accents can subtly pick up on the deeper paint marks in the motif.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on a clean white background, layered with cool greys, warm beige, soft green, and both pale and dark blue tones. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, a crisp, clean white provides a seamless continuation of the light background. If you prefer subtle contrast, a very soft warm grey or a muted pebble tone pulls out the quieter undertones in the brush marks. For upholstery and larger textiles, deeper navy or dusty blue cushions offer a natural connection to the mural's darkest details.
