Wallpaper - Once in a Lifetime

Our Once in a Lifetime wallpaper mural brings together an expressive abstract composition on a soft white and cream ground. Created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, the design features sweeping, delicate brushstrokes in pale blue, soft pink, and warm beige, with subtle touches of gray and deep blue adding visual depth and fluid movement across the surface. The painterly visual texture and open, airy balance give the piece an artful, contemporary presence on the wall. Made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers offer a refined way to introduce modern abstract art into your interior.

In the room

In a living room, we would place this design on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall where the broader sweep of the brushwork and subtle tonal layering have room to be appreciated in full. Because the light base and soft palette keep the overall feeling open and balanced, it also works beautifully in a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting area, setting a calm, contemplative visual tone.

For longer or open-plan spaces, the light background helps maintain a sense of brightness across the room without competing with surrounding architectural features. Generous daylight highlights the subtle interplay between the cool pale blues and warmer pink and beige tones, while softer artificial lighting in the evening emphasizes the deeper touches of blue and gray.

Styling it

The artistic, painterly character of this wallpaper pairs naturally with contemporary and minimalist interiors. To keep the focus on the artwork, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture in low-profile silhouettes.

• Introduce furniture in pale, natural wood tones such as bleached ash or light oak to echo the warm beige elements within the painting without adding visual heaviness.
• Choose surrounding upholstered pieces in simple, tactile fabrics with muted, neutral surfaces to complement the layered visual texture of the motif.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent walls, allowing the wall mural to act as the primary visual anchor in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a soft white and cream base, layered with delicate brushstrokes of pale blue, dusty pink, and warm beige, along with grounding accents of muted gray and deep blue.

When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or larger furniture, we recommend working with off-white, warm cream, or very soft greige to maintain an airy, seamless continuity. If you want to draw out specific tones from the composition, subtle accents in muted blush, dusty rose, or slate blue create a cohesive relationship with the artwork, while deeper charcoal or navy elements can provide a crisp, modern contrast.
