Wallpaper - Making Space for Something New Neutral

Our Making Space for Something New Neutral wallpaper, designed by Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings together layered abstract forms with delicate brushstroke detail against a soft whitewash ground. We love how the composition balances broad, gentle planes with subtle hints of muted blue, soft pink, and warm earthy tones, giving the visual impression of painted plaster and layered collage. The light, airy arrangement creates depth across the wall without feeling heavy or crowded. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that feels easy to hang.

In the room

In an open living room or a calm bedroom, we find that this mural wallpaper works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the abstract shapes can be appreciated. Because the tonal contrast is soft and the background stays bright, the motif sits comfortably behind larger furniture such as a low-profile sofa or a simple bed frame without getting visually cluttered. In a home office or dining room, positioning the wallpaper where it catches generous daylight helps bring out the finer transitions between the layered brushwork and the pale plaster-like textures.

Styling it

To complement the contemporary, organic modern character of our design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated so the wall mural remains the central visual focus.

Low-slung seating in tactile boucle or smooth neutral upholstery pairs naturally with the painterly background, echoing the soft edges of the abstract shapes. For accent pieces, light oak or bleached ash furniture works wonderfully to reflect the airy, minimalist feel of the motif, while subtle matte ceramics in pale chalk or clay tones highlight the artwork's quiet, wabi-sabi aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built on a soft white base with delicate touches of chalky blue, pale blush pink, and muted earthy neutrals. When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls, skirting, or doors, we suggest sticking to warm off-whites, pale limestone, or soft muted taupe to create a seamless, cohesive backdrop. If you prefer a subtle accent, pulling out the pale slate blue or muted rose present in the artwork through surrounding cushions, throws, or decorative objects creates a considered, harmonious balance across the room.
