Wallpaper - Hands of Unity

Our Hands of Unity wallpaper brings the spontaneous energy of a collaborative community mural straight into your home. Designed by Don Forthuber, this expressive design features bold red lettering reading "HANDS ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY" stretched across the top, grounded by a vibrant, multi-layered collage of handprints, peace signs, and painted messages in rich shades of blue, red, yellow, green, and purple. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our wall murals are crafted to be straightforward to hang while transforming any room with an unmistakable sense of togetherness.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an energetic focal point in a playroom, teenage room, or dedicated home art studio. Because the design is visually dense and filled with smaller painted details, names, and handprints, it naturally draws the eye across the entire width of the space.

For the best visual balance, we recommend placing this design on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full phrase along the top and the dynamic landscape of colorful markings can be viewed without heavy disruption. In a playroom or creative teenage bedroom, pairing it with low-profile shelving or an open desk setup ensures the vibrant lower layers remain visible and engaging.

Styling it

Because this design carries significant graphic weight and an exuberant mix of colors, we like to keep surrounding furniture grounded and visually simple. Streamlined furniture in neutral tones or light wood finishes helps anchor the space without competing with the lively surface of the wall.

To keep the room feeling cohesive rather than chaotic, you can pick out a single accent color from the artwork, such as bright cobalt blue or warm sun yellow, and repeat it sparingly in soft cushions, a desk lamp, or decorative storage bins. Keeping large floor areas clear or using a plain, solid-color rug lets the expressive graffiti-inspired style of the mural remain the true hero of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork itself is rich in primary and secondary tones, combining deep crimson red, rich royal blue, forest green, warm yellow, and touches of violet against a painterly sky-and-landscape backdrop.

When choosing adjacent wall colors and woodwork, clean off-white, soft warm gray, or muted beige create a calm frame around the lively print. If you prefer a bolder interior scheme, drawing out the deep blue or earthy olive green for surrounding trim or built-in cabinetry provides a striking contrast that complements the community art aesthetic.
