Wallpaper - About Face II Black

Created by Moira Hershey, our About Face II Black wallpaper features a flowing continuous white line that outlines an abstract face against a deep navy black backdrop. The minimalist stroke work defines facial contours, eyes, lips, and graceful curves, establishing an understated yet graphic composition with a contemporary feel. The dark, subtly textured visual background creates a clean contrast with the fluid white lines, allowing the artwork to make a confident statement while retaining an open, serene quality. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love this design on a generous feature wall where the scale of the continuous line art has space to breathe. In a bedroom, it works exceptionally well behind a headboard, setting a tranquil mood through its balanced contrast and calm, flowing lines. In a living room, dining room, or dedicated home office, giving this wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the abstract portrait to serve as a natural focal point without overwhelming surrounding elements. Because the motif is uncluttered, it also adapts comfortably to spaces like entryways, dressing rooms, or hallway staircases where you want a striking graphic presence in a more transitional area.

Styling it

The clean geometry and modern character of this design lend themselves naturally to contemporary, minimalist, or mid-century inspired spaces. To balance the dark background, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with warm, natural wood furniture such as walnut, teak, or warm oak, which softens the visual contrast. Sculptural lighting and understated modern furnishings with soft curves echo the fluid line work of the artwork without competing with it. Keeping larger textiles relatively simple in texture and tone helps ensure the room remains balanced and calm.

Colour combinations

The verified palette of this design is built around a deep navy black ground paired with clean white line work. Around the wallpaper, we suggest introducing soft off-white, light cream, or pale greige on adjacent walls and trim to provide a fresh, luminous balance to the dark base. For accent furnishings and decor, warm terracotta, muted ochre, or rich caramel tones create an inviting warmth against the cool navy-black backdrop. If you prefer a more subtle, cohesive environment, charcoal, soft slate, and muted deep blues work seamlessly alongside the design.
