Wallpaper - In Its Own Time II

Created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, our In Its Own Time II wallpaper is an expressive abstract composition defined by broad painterly gestures, visible brushwork, and energetic pencil marks. At the heart of the design sits a confident field of cobalt blue, framed by layered passages of chalky white, soft sage, muted seafoam, and accents of blush pink and teal. Fine graphite lines and gestural black strokes lend visual depth and movement across the surface, giving the impression of an expansive contemporary canvas. Printed to order as a custom mural wallpaper, this design brings a calm yet distinct artistic presence to modern interiors while remaining PVC-free with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because the composition centers around a strong focal shape with lighter, more fluid brushwork drifting outward, we see this design working exceptionally well on a main feature wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa allows the full vertical scale and the lighter upper areas of the artwork to breathe. It also works beautifully in an open-plan dining room or a dedicated study, where the wide, painterly scale can anchor the entire room without overwhelming it.

In larger spaces, giving the mural an uninterrupted wall lets the interplay between the dense cobalt center and the breezy pastel surroundings show at its best. If you are placing it in a bedroom, we recommend positioning it behind a headboard with a clean, low profile so that the energetic horizontal brush marks remain visible across the room.

Styling it

To let the dynamic character of the artwork lead the space, we suggest pairing this design with furniture featuring clean silhouettes and restrained textures. Low-slung contemporary pieces, such as a tailored linen sofa or minimalist shelving, balance the painterly energy without competing for attention.

Natural timber in pale ash or warm bleached oak complements the soft greens and whites in the backdrop, while subtle black metal details echoed in slim table legs or architectural lighting ground the darker graphite strokes of the mural. Keeping nearby decorative objects sculptural and understated allows the wall to act as the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper brings together deep cobalt blue, turquoise, soft mint green, chalky off-white, and touches of blush pink alongside graphite charcoal.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites and pale stone shades create a seamless, cohesive backdrop that lets the cobalt center stand out. For a moodier, more enveloping atmosphere, deep midnight blue or dark teal pulled directly from the artwork's shadows creates a striking surrounding contrast on doors, trim, or neighboring walls. Soft muted sage is another natural companion if you want to extend the earthy, calm tones of the outer brushwork into surrounding textiles and upholstery.
