Wallpaper - Shortcake II

Created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, our Shortcake II wallpaper layers elongated horizontal brush strokes in rose pink, deep berry, warm beige, and soft white across a bright backdrop. The fluid, overlapping sweeps of translucent color create a gently stacked horizontal rhythm with painted-looking texture and varied opacity. It brings an airy yet warm abstract character to the wall, making it a subtle statement piece. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang in any living space.

In the room

The horizontal movement in this design naturally draws the eye across a room, which can help visually widen a narrower wall or balance higher ceilings. We see this working beautifully as an accent wall in a bedroom behind a headboard or along the main wall of a living room where the gentle layers of pink and beige can set a warm, welcoming mood. Because the pattern relies on soft transitions rather than sharp high-contrast geometry, it also sits comfortably in smaller residential spaces such as a dressing room, home office, or hallway. In spaces with generous natural light, the delicate variations in transparency across the painted strokes become especially apparent.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this abstract motif with clean-lined contemporary or mid-century modern furniture that allows the horizontal flow of the pattern to remain the primary focus. Low-profile credenzas, floating desks, or upholstered bed frames in muted neutral tones complement the composition without competing with the brushwork.

To echo the natural warmth in the palette, consider incorporating warm wood finishes or soft textured fabrics like woven throws and matte ceramics. Keeping surrounding decorative accessories minimal and grounded helps the fluid, layered lines of the wallpaper feel balanced within the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft rose pink, muted berry red, sandy beige, and crisp white, layered with semi-sheer washes that reveal subtle undertones throughout. When planning surrounding surfaces, warm neutrals such as soft linen white, warm cream, or light taupe make seamless choices for adjacent painted walls and woodwork.

For a richer contrast that grounds the lighter pastel tones, you can pull through deeper accents of dusty terracotta, muted burgundy, or deep blush in upholstery, cushions, or artwork frames. Alternatively, pairing the design with muted grey-beige tones creates a gentle, understated color harmony.
