Wallpaper - Closer to the Heart

Our Closer to the Heart wallpaper by Pamela Munger brings together expressive, gestural brushstrokes with an oil-painted look across a soft blush pink background. Sweeping marks in deep green, warm pink, earthy brown, and charcoal black overlap to create an energetic abstract composition with layered visual depth. The interplay between sharp edges and softer, feathered marks gives the motif a distinctly modern artistic presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates a confident focal point in contemporary living spaces, dining areas, and bedrooms.

In the room

In a living room or dining room, we would give this design a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the brushwork has space to unfold. The dynamic movement and strong contrasts make it an effective feature wall behind a dining table or low sofa, drawing visual interest without needing heavy decorative layering around it.

Because the palette balances deeper tones with a gentle blush pink ground, the wallpaper also works beautifully in a bedroom or dressing room. We find that in spaces with generous daylight, the layered oil-paint appearance and softer pink undertones become especially clear, while warmer evening lighting highlights the richer green and brown marks. In a creative home office, placing this design behind your desk provides an engaging backdrop that brings warmth and artistic character to everyday work.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the abstract forms, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, architectural silhouettes and relatively quiet finishes. Low-profile seating and unadorned surfaces allow the energetic composition on the wall to stand out naturally.

Warm, natural wood finishes such as walnut or darker ash work particularly well with the earthy brown and deep green brushstrokes, grounding the design in modern and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. For upholstery and textiles, choose matte, tactile fabrics in solid neutral tones rather than competing patterns, letting the wall mural set the visual tempo for the entire room.

Colour combinations

The design itself features deep forest green, blush pink, rich brown, and charcoal black set against a delicate pale pink background.

When choosing surrounding paint colors and materials, you can pick up the softer pink from the wallpaper's background for adjacent walls or woodwork to create an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere. Alternatively, muted off-whites and pale stone tones keep the surrounding room bright while letting the darker green and black brushstrokes command attention. For cabinetry, shelving, or accent furniture, deep olive greens or warm espresso browns echo the darker elements in the motif and add grounded contrast to the space.
