Wallpaper - Acapulco I

In this abstract wallpaper design by Mercedes Lopez Charro, sweeping vertical brushstrokes in soft aquamarine, lavender, pastel pink, and pale yellow wash across the wall. The composition layers sheer, ribbon-like strokes of varying widths, letting cooler tones overlap warmer shades to create a breezy, fluid sense of movement. A painted canvas visual texture shows through the watercolor-like application, giving the artwork a relaxed, handcrafted character. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a light paper structure, our wallpaper brings an airy, artistic touch to bedrooms, living rooms, and creative spaces.

In the room

We especially like this design on a main accent wall behind a bed or sofa, where the continuous vertical rhythm can run from ceiling to floor. Because the brushstrokes have an upward, flowing direction, they give walls a graceful sense of height without feeling heavy or visually demanding.

In a larger open-plan living room or a dedicated home studio, our mural wallpapers work beautifully when given an expansive, uninterrupted surface. The layered pastel washes provide enough visual interest to anchor the space while remaining soft enough to blend smoothly with everyday living. In smaller areas like a dressing room, home office, or nursery, the gentle palette keeps the room feeling open and light.

Styling it

The breezy mid-century spirit of this design pairs naturally with mid-century modern or contemporary interior styles. We suggest choosing furniture with clean, low profiles and lighter wood finishes, such as bleached ash or pale birch, which let the watercolor tones stand out cleanly.

To keep the room feeling balanced, pair the wallpaper with solid, unpatterned fabrics in simple neutral weaves. Letting the wall carry the primary visual interest makes the whole space feel deliberate and uncluttered, while understated accents in brushed steel or matte ceramic provide a crisp counterpoint to the soft, painterly strokes.

Colour combinations

Our design weaves together a nuanced palette of aquamarine blue, gentle turquoise, soft rose pink, muted lavender, and warm vanilla yellow.

When planning the surrounding room, we would look to these built-in shades for inspiration. Warm off-white or soft cream on adjacent walls and moldings keeps the atmosphere airy and bright. For larger furniture or upholstery, muted stone greys or dusty pastel blues echo the cooler brushstrokes without competing with the wall mural.
