Wallpaper - Opus Blue

Our Opus Blue wallpaper by Tanja Smedh brings together an intricate, symmetrical composition of botanical forms, feathers, and flowing curves against a deep, dark ground. Rendered with an ink-drawing character, delicate floral elements, buds, and berries intertwine to create a graceful central arch structure. The deep blue and soft purple tones are balanced by lighter powder blue highlights that lift the fine linework, giving the pattern an elegant, heritage feel. Produced to order as custom wall murals, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The strong central symmetry and architectural arch structure of this design make it especially well suited to a primary feature wall. In a living room, we see our Opus Blue mural wallpapers working naturally behind a sofa or along the main focal wall where the entire central motif can be appreciated without tall obstructions. Because the repeat combines dense, detailed linework with a dark backdrop, giving it a wider, uninterrupted wall area allows the visual rhythm of the curves and feathers to breathe.

In a dedicated meditation room, art studio, or creative space, the balanced symmetry helps ground the room, creating an enveloping, contemplative atmosphere. The powder blue accents provide soft contrast, ensuring the intricate ink details remain clear across both daylight and softer evening lighting conditions.

Styling it

To complement the classical, 19th-century influence of the motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that has clean, considered silhouettes so the wall remains the primary decorative layer.

• Choose warm, medium to dark wood furniture, such as walnut or stained oak, to echo the depth of the dark background while adding warmth to the space.
• Introduce understated upholstery in neutral woven fabrics or matte textures, avoiding competing ornate patterns in surrounding cushions and seating.
• Select brushed antique brass or muted bronze lighting and hardware to subtly highlight the classical line work without overpowering the deep blue tones.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centers on a rich dark base layered with deep blues, soft purple notes, and gentle powder blue accents.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, woodwork, and larger elements, we like taking inspiration directly from these tones:

• Powder blue or muted dusty slate on surrounding walls or window trim creates a continuous, harmonious feel that highlights the lighter details in the motif.
• Deep indigo or rich midnight blue on architectural trim or painted cabinetry deepens the mood and frames the wallpapered wall naturally.
• Soft off-white or chalky stone on ceilings and baseboards provides a quiet, clean transition that lets the ink-inspired linework stand out with clarity.
