Wallpaper - Teal and Ink II

Created by Chris Paschke, our abstract wallpaper brings together expressive charcoal grey and deep black ink washes with vibrant pops of bright teal blue. Set against a clean white backdrop, the sweeping forms combine soft, watery gradients with grainy, textured visual layers and dynamic splatters. The high-contrast composition creates an energetic focal point while leaving open negative space that allows the room to breathe. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a contemporary artistic statement for modern homes.

In the room

Because the composition features a bold, concentrated abstract motif surrounded by generous negative space, we see this working exceptionally well as a feature wall in a living room, study, or bedroom. Placing it on an uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa or a minimalist bed frame allows the full height and vertical rhythm of the ink wash to be appreciated without visual obstruction.

In a home office or creative studio, the dynamic splatters and sweeping strokes introduce an artistic presence that feels structured rather than cluttered. The clean white background also makes it adaptable to smaller spaces such as an entryway, where a single focal wall creates an instant impression without overpowering the area.

Styling it

We recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary so the wallpaper remains the primary visual focus. Low-profile pieces in matte black metal or darker wood finishes echo the depth of the ink while maintaining a modern, uncluttered feel.

For textiles and upholstery, simple neutral weaves in off-white, soft grey, or charcoal create a balanced backdrop. A single accent element that picks up on the bright teal blue, such as a decorative cushion or an art book on a coffee table, can tie the room together naturally without feeling overly coordinated.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around deep black, charcoal grey, washed-out ink greys, crisp white, and vivid teal blue. When selecting colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and larger furnishings, we recommend working with these directions:

• Crisp or slightly muted whites that seamlessly continue the open background of the design.
• Soft charcoal or mid-toned greys for adjacent walls or trim to enhance the depth of the ink wash.
• Pops of vibrant teal or sky blue in decorative accents to echo the splatters within the motif.
