Wallpaper - In the Suburbs

Our In the Suburbs wallpaper brings an expressive, abstract composition to the wall through overlapping geometric forms, energetic dark blue linework, and playful scribbles. Rich orange and warm yellow shapes sit alongside cool blue and soft gray elements, creating an engaging visual rhythm built on color contrast and shifting scale. Triangles, rectangles, and loose irregular blocks layer across the surface to give the motif a hand-drawn, paint-drawing feel with watercolor-inspired softness. Produced as made-to-measure murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings artistic character to creative spaces.

In the room

Because of the bold scale and animated composition, we see this wallpaper working especially well in a dedicated home office, study, or creative home art studio. In a work or reading area, placing the mural on an accent wall behind a desk or work table gives the room an intentional focal point without feeling cluttered. For larger open layouts, giving the design a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the balance between the light and dark forms to unfold naturally across the space.

Styling it

To let the dynamic geometry lead the room, we would pair our wallpaper with clean-lined contemporary or mid-century-inspired furniture that has a grounded, solid silhouette. Low-profile desks, shelving units, or seating in darker painted finishes or warm natural wood tones create a calm counterweight to the playful shapes. Keeping surrounding decorative objects relatively simple and sculptural prevents visual competition with the varied linework and layered forms of the mural.

Colour combinations

The palette inside our design is defined by bold dark orange, sunny yellow, crisp blue, and grounding gray, held together by dark blue line details. On surrounding walls, trim, or nearby cabinetry, a warm off-white or soft warm gray makes a quiet background that lets the wallpaper colors stand out. If you want to echo the deeper notes of the motif, incorporating accents or painted woodwork in a deep navy or muted slate blue connects naturally with the outlines and darker geometric shapes.
