Wallpaper - Hold on Now

Created by Pamela Munger, our Hold on Now wallpaper brings an expressive, horizon-inspired abstract painting to a grand scale. The composition balances soft, atmospheric fields of pale blush and misty cream in the upper sky with grounded horizontal sweeps of earthy coral, terracotta, deep teal, and subtle olive across the midground. Broad painterly brushwork and fine sketched linework give the visual impression of an open landscape on canvas, creating a calm yet confident focal point. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a wide, continuous horizon line, we see this wall mural working best on a larger, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the landscape has room to breathe. In a living room or a dedicated home art studio, placing it behind a low-profile sofa, bench, or credenza allows the sweeping midground colors to anchor the room while the airy upper section keeps the space feeling open. The horizontal layering also brings a grounding presence to wider rooms, helping to visually widen compact sitting areas or give structure to an open-plan layout.

Styling it

To let the expressive painterly forms lead the room, we would pair this mural wallpaper with quiet, considered furnishings in an organic modern or contemporary interior. Low furniture silhouettes in light, warm woods keep the sightlines clear across the horizon. For surrounding elements, matte ceramics and natural woven upholstery in soft stone or warm neutral tones will balance the rich terracotta and teal accents without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers around a rich palette of earthy coral, burnt orange, and deep teal set against expansive washes of soft blush pink, pale grey, and warm ivory. For surrounding painted walls and trim, we suggest pulling from the lighter background tones with warm off-whites, muted blush, or gentle chalky greys. If you want to introduce deeper contrasts in adjacent millwork or accent furniture, picking up the dark teal or grounding slate grey from the painting creates a thoughtful, cohesive connection.
