Wallpaper - Head in the Clouds I

Our Head in the Clouds I wallpaper brings together expressive painted brushwork and a compelling balance of cool and warm tones. Created with artist Jocelyn Elizabeth, this abstract design transitions from deep blue and black strokes into swirling light blue shades on the left, offset by bold red shapes and soft layers of white and pale pink on the right. The visible painterly texture gives the mural wallpapers a strong sense of fluid movement and artistic depth across the wall. Made to measure according to your wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle structure in the paper surface and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room, we particularly like using this wall mural on a main uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal shift from cool blues to warm reds can unfold without interruption. The left side carries darker visual weight, while the right side opens up into softer pastel tones, making it an engaging backdrop behind low-profile seating or opposite a room entrance. It also works well in a dedicated home meditation room or quiet lounge area, where the sweeping, cloud-like brush strokes introduce an expressive yet balanced atmosphere. Because the composition has distinct visual weight on both sides, we recommend keeping the wall relatively free of tall, bulky storage so the painterly rhythm remains visible.

Styling it

To let the dynamic brushwork take centre stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined contemporary or postmodern furniture in understated neutral finishes. Low seating in soft cream, off-white, or muted grey fabric allows the bold red and deep blue pigments to stand out without visual competition. For accents, selecting simple painted metal or matte ceramic pieces that pick up on the pale pink or deep navy in the artwork creates a cohesive, considered feel throughout the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around a powder blue and soft sky-blue base, layered with dark blue, black, vibrant red, gentle pink, and crisp white. For adjoining walls and woodwork, a soft warm white or muted pale blue helps extend the airy feeling of the right-hand side of the mural. If you want to lean into the bolder elements of the wallpaper, deeper navy or subtle charcoal on surrounding trim or accent furniture can echo the darker brushwork on the left side.
