Wallpaper - Either Way I

Our Either Way I wallpaper brings a graphic, calligraphic presence to the wall, defined by a single sweeping stroke of black ink across a clean white backdrop. Created by artist Chris Paschke, the composition balances bold gesture with generous negative space, where the bristle texture and deep charcoal tones suggest continuous horizontal motion. It is an expressive abstract design that delivers strong contrast without overcrowding a room. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom-made to your specific wall dimensions on a PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a broad, uninterrupted wall in a modern living room, home art studio, or quiet meditation room. Because the visual impact relies on the full sweep of the brushstroke and the balance of open space around it, giving the design enough width allows the composition to breathe. In a minimalist bedroom or wide hallway, placing it on a focal wall creates a strong architectural anchor without needing additional wall art. The graphic clarity of the ink drawing also holds its own under bright natural daylight, while softer evening lighting brings out the textured nuance within the darker brush marks.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the primary focus, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings simple in form and low in visual clutter.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile furniture in clean, contemporary silhouettes to leave the upper portion of the wall clear.
• Introduce dark metal accents or matte black fixtures to echo the density of the ink stroke.
• Balance the stark monochrome contrast with warm natural materials, such as muted oak furniture or soft, unpatterned fabrics that add warmth without introducing competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep black and charcoal grey set against a bright, clear white field. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, a clean neutral white or a soft, subtle off-white creates a seamless, gallery-like transition. If you prefer more depth, a deep charcoal or near-black painted on adjacent trim or doors creates an intentional, dramatic frame for the wall mural. For decorative accents in the room, muted earthy tones like taupe, slate, or warm camel soften the high contrast without detracting from the monochrome motif.
