Wallpaper - Between the Lines

Our Between the Lines wallpaper, created by designer Sarah Adams, brings together painterly geometric blocks with expressive mark-making. Broad rectangular shapes in powder blue, slate, sage green, and soft neutral grey form a collage-like grid across an off-white ground. Overlaid across these textured, painted panels are rhythmic linear details: vertical stripes, horizontal brush marks, dashes, and painterly dots in deep indigo. What we particularly like is how the structured layout is softened by visible brushwork and spontaneous graphic accents. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design brings an artistic and tranquil feel to any room.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full abstract composition and its balance of scales can unfold naturally. In a living room, placing this design behind a low sofa lets the horizontal rhythm and painterly blocks anchor the entire seating zone without feeling overwhelming.

It also adapts wonderfully to a quiet home office or study. The combination of gentle powder blue tones and orderly geometric shapes creates a focused, peaceful environment, while the freehand marks add just enough creative character to keep the space engaging. Because the design combines larger blocks of color with finer linear overlays, it holds interest whether you view it across a larger room or up close at a desk.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern feel of this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accessories that echo its clean geometry and quiet textures.

• Ground the space with mid-tone or light natural wood furniture, such as an ash coffee table or oak writing desk, which warms up the cool powder blue and grey palette.
• Introduce woven or matte ceramic decorative accents in neutral off-white or charcoal to mirror the painted texture and dark indigo line work.
• Keep surrounding upholstery relatively simple in solid, muted fabrics so the graphic details of the wallpaper remain the focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of powder blue, dusty slate, muted sage, and soft neutral grey, set against an off-white background with accents of dark navy and indigo.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls and woodwork, a soft warm white or pale chalky grey will maintain a light, open atmosphere and let the mural take center stage. For a more tailored and cohesive look, you could paint door frames, skirting boards, or built-in cabinetry in a complementary dusty blue or deep slate grey, pulling directly from the darker blocks within the artwork.
