Wallpaper - Empty

Created by Jeanette Vertentes, this artistic wall mural presents a single large shell motif positioned against a painterly, smoke-gray backdrop. What we particularly like about the design is the interplay between broad, expressive brushwork and luminous hues: deep cobalt blue, soft purple, cool white, and delicate yellow highlights emerge naturally from the shell's curved interior. The composition treats an organic natural form with painterly abstraction, balancing graphic impact with an open, airy presence on the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our wallpapers bring a quiet, gallery-like character into any room.

In the room

Because the motif is anchored by a single monumental form, we find this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the complete shape can be appreciated from across the space. In a bedroom, it sits comfortably behind a low headboard, providing an artistic focal point without visually crowding the room. In a living room or a dedicated home art studio, the broad smoke-gray background allows surrounding furniture to sit in front of the lower half of the wall while keeping the rich blues and purples visible above. The cool, quiet gray base creates a calm visual atmosphere that suits larger open areas as well as more focused, tranquil corners.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that carries clean lines and unpretentious silhouettes, such as minimalist contemporary seating or low credenzas. Letting the expressive brushwork carry the artistic focus in the room ensures the space remains balanced. Natural light-toned woods or soft, matte neutral upholstery complement the organic feel of the shell without competing with its color accents. For accessories, subtle ceramic pieces or simple glass accents echo the fluid, painterly feel of the artwork without cluttering the visual field.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a versatile foundation of neutral smoke grays and cool whites, accented with deep blue, violet, and pale buttercup yellow. For adjacent walls and trim, we recommend pulling directly from the backdrop with soft, muted grays or cool off-whites to maintain a unified flow. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents in your furniture or textiles, deep navy, slate, or charcoal echo the richest tones inside the shell rim while keeping the overall palette grounded and serene.
