Wallpaper - Asking for Too Much

In our Asking for Too Much wallpaper, artist Jocelyn Elizabeth brings together expressive abstract forms and a layered, dynamic palette. A soft base of lavender and pastel pink sets the foundation, punctuated by lively splashes of white, black, and deep blue that provide clear visual contrast. Sweeping brushstrokes in red and peach cut across the composition, introducing energetic movement through a balance of sharp angles, rounded shapes, and painted visual texture. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and adds an expressive, artistic presence to an accent wall.

In the room

Because the composition has large-scale gestures and distinct diagonal movement, we especially like giving this wall mural a wide, relatively open wall in a living room or bedroom where the full sweep of the brushwork can unfold. In a creative home studio, it works naturally as a focal point behind a workspace, providing rich visual interest without overwhelming the room thanks to the gentle lavender background. For rooms with broken wall space or shorter feature walls, the varied distribution of red and blue accents ensures that interesting details remain visible even when framed by doorways or lower furniture.

Styling it

The expressive nature of this design invites a confident approach to surrounding furniture and decor:

• Pair the wallpaper with contemporary furniture featuring clean, sculptural silhouettes to balance the energetic, painterly brushwork.
• Introduce dark accents such as black metal light fixtures or deep blue upholstery to echo the darker splashes within the artwork and ground the room.
• Keep larger floor coverings and surrounding architectural elements simple, allowing the rich mix of sharp and rounded forms to remain the central decorative statement.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a soft lavender and pink background with accents of peach, vibrant red, deep blue, crisp white, and black. To create a cohesive setting, we recommend pulling the softer background tones onto adjacent painted walls using muted lilacs, chalky blush, or soft off-whites. If you prefer higher contrast, drawing out the deep blue or charcoal black through accent chairs, shelving, or trim work creates a striking dialogue with the bolder strokes in the mural wallpapers.
