Wallpaper - Incoming

Created by Avery Tillmon, our Incoming wallpaper brings together a lineup of classic sports equipment rendered with the rich, expressive look of oil paint. The horizontal composition clusters soccer balls, baseballs, a basketball, and an American football against a clean, off-white backdrop. Earthy mocha tones, warm leathers, and crisp black-and-white paneling give the motif an authentic, vintage sporting feel with visible brushstroke textures. Produced as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and creates an immediate focal point in active residential spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a children's bedroom, playroom, or teenage room where a sports theme can take center stage. Because the motif is arranged in a bold, horizontal arrangement across the wall, it functions beautifully as an accent wall behind a bed or low toy storage. In a home gym, placing the mural on a main uninterrupted wall brings energy and character to the workout space without overwhelming the room. The clean white background helps the room feel open, while the centered grouping keeps the visual weight grounded and organized.

Styling it

To complement the vintage athletic aesthetic, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, functional furnishings that let the artwork stand out:

• Ground the room with warm wood tones or painted black metal furniture that echoes the leather balls and dark soccer ball panels.
• Add cozy, tactile textiles such as ribbed knit throws, canvas storage bins, or classic striped rugs in neutral tones.
• Keep wall shelving and display units sleek and low to prevent cutting across the horizontal sports grouping.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of warm mocha browns, rich tan, classic black, and off-white. When painting adjoining walls or choosing larger furniture, warm neutrals like cream, light taupe, or soft grey work naturally to maintain an airy feel. For a more graphic look, deep charcoal or espresso accents pulled directly from the soccer panels and basketball seams will create sharp, modern contrast throughout the space.
