Wallpaper - Scraped Blue II

In our Scraped Blue II wallpaper, artist Chris Paschke brings together overlapping, translucent brushstrokes in cool tones of blue, stone, and soft white, accented by delicate hints of purple and subtle orange. The abstract watercolor-like composition flows with sweeping diagonal movement, reminiscent of shifting water or melting ice. What we particularly like is how the layers of paint create a sense of depth without feeling heavy or crowded, giving the design an airy, contemporary character. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an artistic, fluid focal point for modern interiors.

In the room

We see this design working especially well across a main feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or home office. Because the diagonal brushwork carries a clear sense of direction and movement, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the full scale and fluidity of the artwork unfold naturally. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard anchors the sleeping area with a calm, cooling atmosphere. In a contemporary living room or study, the open, painterly composition adds visual interest without overwhelming the surrounding space, particularly in rooms that benefit from balanced, natural daylight where the subtle tonal transitions between blues and soft whites can be appreciated.

Styling it

The minimalist, fluid nature of Scraped Blue II pairs naturally with modern and minimalist interior styles. To let the expressive brushstrokes lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively quiet, favoring clean lines and uncluttered silhouettes.

Low-profile furniture in light or warm wood tones helps ground the cooler palette of the design, while simple black metal accents in lighting or table frames can echo the graphic confidence of the diagonal strokes. Keeping textiles plain and textural rather than heavily patterned allows the wall mural to remain the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper itself is built on a cool foundation of slate and stone blues, crisp white, and softer washes of pale blue, enriched by understated touches of purple and warm orange.

When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or large furniture, crisp off-whites and pale stone grays keep the room light, fresh, and cohesive. For a more layered look, deep navy or slate blue can be drawn from the darker brushstrokes for cabinetry or accent pieces, while subtle terracotta or muted ochre accents can pick up the faint warm undertones within the print.
