Wallpaper - What If

Our What If wallpaper brings together expressive brushwork and an engaging contrast between airy pastels and grounded deep tones. Created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, this abstract design features an upper expanse dominated by soft pink, sky blue and aquamarine, applied with visible, textured painterly movement. Across the lower portion, the composition shifts into darker blues and black with broad, wave-like strokes, anchored at the centre by a warm patch of peach. The interplay of soft and deep shades gives the design visual depth across a whole wall. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working particularly well on an open, main wall where the full transition from dark to light can unfold without being interrupted. The heavier dark base visually anchors the bottom half of the space, which works naturally behind low-profile seating or a media unit. We also like this mural wallpaper for a home art studio or a quiet meditation room, where the dynamic, fluid strokes introduce an artistic atmosphere while maintaining a calm balance. Because the composition carries its darkest pigments along the base, it keeps the upper wall light and airy, helping rooms with standard ceiling heights feel open.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this abstract wall mural with contemporary or organic modern interiors that let the painterly surface take centre stage.

• Choose low-slung, streamlined furniture with clean profiles so the lower dark wave of the motif remains largely visible.
• Introduce gentle, natural textures in upholstery and cushions, balancing the bold brush marks with smooth, quiet materials.
• Use warm wood tones or light architectural finishes across surrounding surfaces to echo the warmth of the central peach accent.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a palette of soft pink, sky blue, aquamarine, peach, deep midnight blues and black. To build a cohesive room around our wall murals, we recommend drawing from the lighter tones for adjacent walls, such as a pale blush or an airy blue-grey. For architectural woodwork or cabinetry, a muted slate blue or deep navy creates a strong, grounding connection to the lower strokes. If you prefer a warmer feel, soft terracotta or muted peach accents in textiles will subtly pick up the focal point in the middle of the composition.
