Wallpaper - In And Out

Created by Alexander Zaitsev, our In And Out wallpaper brings sweeping, painterly energy to the wall through dense loops and continuous curving brushstrokes. Rendered in deep sapphire blue, ink tones, and pale frosted highlights, the composition captures the expressive texture and directional striations of thick oil paint across a broad canvas. The visual rhythm is fluid and dynamic, drawing the eye across layered ribbon-like ribbons of colour. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this expressive mural wallpaper working exceptionally well in a contemporary living room or an art studio where an accent wall can take centre stage. Because the fluid swirls create a rich, dense overall composition, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping curves to unfold without being broken up by tall cabinetry or heavy shelving. In a living room, placing it behind a low-profile sofa gives the room an immediate focal point without overwhelming the layout. Generous natural daylight brings out the subtle contrast within the blue brushwork, while lower evening light deepens the darker navy and ink undertones, giving the space an intimate, enveloping character.

Styling it

To balance the bold movement of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined, minimalist furniture that lets the wall mural provide the main visual expression. Low-slung seating in tailored charcoal, cool grey, or navy wool creates an understated anchor beneath the active pattern. For hard surfaces, consider cool-toned stone, brushed dark metal, or matte black finishes rather than warm, rustic elements. Keeping decorative accessories deliberate and sculptural ensures the room feels cohesive, gallery-like, and calm alongside the dynamic energy of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around deep sapphire blue, midnight tones, and bright, icy blue-white highlights formed by the scraped brushstrokes. To complement these verified shades, we recommend looking to cool off-whites or soft pale greys on surrounding painted walls and woodwork to maintain a crisp, modern backdrop. If you prefer a moodier, tonal scheme, deep slate or deep indigo on adjacent walls and trim will seamlessly integrate the wallpaper into a dramatic, monochrome interior.
