Wallpaper - Making Space for Something New

Our Making Space for Something New wallpaper by Jocelyn Elizabeth brings an airy, painted character to the wall. Set against a soft white ground, gentle brushwork builds a quiet visual texture layered with subtle shifts of blue and green along the composition, alongside grounded touches of beige and gray. Deeper blue passages introduce defined contrast without interrupting the light, open balance of the motif. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this abstract mural wallpaper provides an expansive, expressive backdrop while remaining visually gentle.

In the room

In a living room, we like this design across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the abstract composition and the openness of the white ground have room to breathe. Because the visual weight gathers primarily through painterly shifts rather than a tight, rigid repeat, it anchors a seating area without overwhelming the rest of the room. The lighter palette also makes it a natural fit for smaller or lower-light areas, such as a compact reading corner or a quiet meditation space, where it introduces visual movement while keeping the surrounding space feeling open.

Styling it

We suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings low-profile and grounded to complement the fluid, painterly energy of the mural. Low-slung contemporary seating with clean contours works particularly well, allowing the brushwork on the wall to remain the primary visual focus.

When selecting finishes, we would pair this design with light natural timber or muted painted cabinetry. Choosing matte, unadorned surfaces helps maintain the calm, minimalist character established by the artwork.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built on a luminous white foundation accented with soft blues, muted greens, warm beige, and gentle gray, alongside deeper blue accents. To create a cohesive palette across adjacent walls and trim, we recommend pulling directly from the softer neutral tones in the mural, such as pale chalky off-whites, warm stone, or quiet pebble grays. For areas where you want a bit more contrast, deeper navy or slate blue on an accent chair or built-in joinery ties directly back into the design's darkest brushstrokes.
