Wallpaper - Either Way II

Designed by Chris Paschke, Either Way II captures the fluid energy of a bold, horizontal sweep of dark slate paint moving across an expanse of clean white. The composition highlights the raw visual character of paint, showing thick brush ridges, glossy texture, and small air bubbles suspended within the stroke. As one of our abstract mural wallpapers, it brings graphic impact and a clean sense of proportion to contemporary interiors. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a dedicated home office, study, or creative studio where strong graphic lines feel right at home. Because the painted sweep stretches horizontally across the field, it benefits from a wider, uninterrupted wall area where the entire movement can unfold from one side to the other. In spaces with lower furniture, such as placed behind a clean-lined desk or a low credenza, the white space above keeps the room feeling open while anchoring the lower half of the wall with decisive contrast.

Styling it

To balance the bold contrast of the dark brushstroke, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture minimal and low in profile. Dark metal accents, such as a matte black lamp or slim metal shelving, echo the depth of the motif without competing with its form. Pairing the wallpaper with warm timber or soft, unpatterned upholstery introduces subtle warmth to prevent the monochrome scheme from feeling too stark.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by a clean, two-tone palette of crisp white and deep, dark slate. Around it, we like combining this high-contrast look with warm off-whites or soft greys on neighbouring walls to maintain a cohesive environment. If you want to introduce additional colour through furniture or decorative pieces, muted earth tones such as warm terracotta, ochre, or olive green sit comfortably against the monochrome foundation.
