Wallpaper - Space to Think

Our Space to Think wallpaper by Mary Urban presents a striking surreal composition where portraiture meets astronomy. A figure with dark styled hair and a delicate floral headband stands against a deep backdrop, but where a face would be, a swirling galaxy emerges with cosmic dust, stars, vibrant purples, deep blues, and bright whites. The figure's cream shirt, adorned with blue and red floral details, anchors the otherworldly motif in an artistic, painterly fashion. Produced as custom made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an expressive focal point in any interior.

In the room

Because the motif centres around a prominent single figure and a rich cosmic expanse, we see this working best on an accent wall where the composition has room to breathe. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bedhead creates an atmospheric, quiet backdrop that feels both expansive and grounding. In a living room or a dedicated creative studio, giving our mural wallpapers an uninterrupted central wall turns the artwork into an engaging focal point. For a dressing room or a teenage room, the blend of fashion-inspired portraiture and cosmic imagery brings a distinctive personality without overwhelming smaller spaces, provided the wall is not overly obscured by tall storage units.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic presence of the cosmic artwork, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings relatively clean in line and restrained in detail.

• Pair the deep navy backdrop with warm wood tones or painted furniture in soft off-white to complement the cream shirt in the motif.
• Introduce understated textiles in plain midnight blue, soft cream, or muted indigo rather than competing patterns, allowing the floral and celestial elements to carry the visual interest.
• Add small metallic accents in brushed brass or blackened metal on lamps and hardware to subtly mirror the luminous stars and deep shadows within the artwork.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a palette of deep navy, midnight blue, cosmic purples, and crisp stellar whites, balanced by the cream, gentle blue, and warm red accents of the floral elements. When planning surrounding wall colours or cabinetry, soft off-whites and pale creams offer a fresh contrast that mirrors the shirt detail. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, deep navy or inky slate paint on adjacent walls allows the wallpaper to integrate fluidly into the room. For subtle accent touches in cushions or decor, picking up the discreet red and violet tones from the motif adds quiet cohesion.
