Wallpaper - Scarlet II

Created by Mackenzie Nelson, our Scarlet II wallpaper features an elegant white crane with a vivid red crown set against a deep, dark backdrop. The design captures the soft, expressive texture of oil paint, balancing clean minimalist composition with refined artistic detail. What we appreciate most about this mural wallpaper is its quiet poise: the bold contrast between the pure white plumage and the dark ground creates an immediate focal point without overwhelming the surrounding space. Made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a serene, painterly presence to the wall.

In the room

Because of the scale of the crane and the rich, dark background, we like to see this design given an uninterrupted wall where the full silhouette can take centre stage. It works beautifully behind a bed in a main bedroom or guest room, where the deep background creates an intimate, enveloping mood. In a living room or dining room, positioning the mural along a main feature wall provides a striking visual anchor that draws the eye without competing with everyday movement. For smaller, enclosed areas like an entryway, study, or home office, wrapping a single statement wall in this wallpaper immediately introduces atmosphere and character.

Styling it

The minimalist Japandi influence in this design pairs naturally with warm, restrained interior choices. We recommend keeping furniture silhouettes clean and uncluttered to let the artwork breathe. Low-profile pieces in warm woods like ash, oak, or dark-stained timber provide a grounded balance against the deep backdrop. To complement the painterly aesthetic, introduce soft natural textiles such as woven cotton or textured wool in neutral tones, and accent with simple ceramic decorative pieces or subtle matte black hardware to echo the deep values in the painting.

Colour combinations

The palette of this wallpaper is anchored by the deep, dark ground and the luminous white of the crane, punctuated by the single touch of vibrant red on its crown. To build a balanced scheme, we suggest pairing it with warm neutral paint shades on adjacent walls, such as soft off-white, light warm grey, or muted taupe, which keep the room feeling open. If you want to lean into a moodier aesthetic, deep charcoal or espresso tones on nearby trim work will integrate the wall mural effortlessly. Small accents in rich terracotta, rust, or subtle burgundy elsewhere in the room will softly pick up the red crown detail.
