Wallpaper - Samba

Created by Farida Zaman, our Samba wallpaper brings expressive abstract art to the wall through sweeping brushstrokes, organic forms, and lively color blocking. Sunny yellow, soft pink, vivid cobalt blue, warm orange, and leafy green overlap against a soft pastel background, while dotted marks and fine linework add playful graphic detail. The painted-looking texture and layered composition give this design an upbeat, contemporary presence. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the printed artwork.

In the room

With its freeform composition and vivid palette, our Samba mural wallpapers work wonderfully as a vibrant focal point. In a living room, we would place this design on a main feature wall behind a sofa or dining table where the energetic brushwork has space to spread out across a wide, uninterrupted surface. It also brings plenty of joy to creative spaces in the home, working naturally in a playroom, nursery, teenager's room, or home art studio. Because the design has so much movement, pairing it with simpler surrounding walls allows the expressive shapes to command the room without visual clutter.

Styling it

Because this design is full of artistic personality, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined to let the wallpaper lead the room. Contemporary pieces in light, natural timber or clean painted finishes create an airy foundation that complements the painterly character without competing with it. For upholstery and textiles, solid colors drawn from the mural, such as pale blush, warm amber, or crisp off-white, balance the dynamic shapes while keeping the overall interior feeling cohesive and modern.

Colour combinations

Our design features a lively blend of sunshine yellow, bubblegum pink, cobalt blue, citrus orange, and fresh green layered over soft pastel washes. When decorating around it, we recommend using warm off-whites or soft pale yellows on adjacent walls and trim to maintain an open, luminous feeling. If you want a more saturated look in a playroom or studio, pulling out rich ochre, warm terracotta, or deep blue for accent furniture and cushions ties the entire scheme together beautifully.
