Wallpaper - Asking for Too Much

Our Asking for Too Much wallpaper brings together delicate pastel washes with expressive, painterly marks. Designed by Jocelyn Elizabeth, this abstract composition balances a soft lavender and pink foundation against dynamic splashes of white, black, and deep blue, punctuated by cutting strokes of red and peach. The interplay between sweeping curves and sharper angular shapes gives the pattern a lively, modern rhythm across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and provides an immediate artistic statement.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a contemporary living room, creative home studio, or a calming bedroom where the artwork can take centre stage. Because the composition relies on energetic abstract movement across both larger brushstrokes and fine splatters, we recommend placing it on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. Giving the repeat space to breathe behind a sofa or low headboard ensures that the full balance of soft gradients and contrasting dark details remains clearly visible without feeling crowded.

Styling it

The expressive nature of this design pairs naturally with eclectic, contemporary, or postmodern interior styles. We suggest working with clean-lined furniture that balances the gestural energy of the wall rather than competing with it:

• Ground the room with simple, low-profile furniture in dark wood or painted black finishes to echo the deep blue and black splashes within the mural.
• Introduce soft furnishings in muted peach, blush, or neutral woven fabrics to extend the delicate tones of the background into the wider space.
• Keep wall decor and accessories minimal around the wallpaper, allowing the abstract forms and painted character to serve as the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by soft lavender and chalky pink, contrasted against deep blue, black, crisp white, and strokes of red and peach. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a gentle off-white or pale greige creates a clean transition that keeps the room bright. For a bolder, more enveloping feel, pulling a dusty lavender or deep ink blue from the pattern onto surrounding trim or cabinetry ties the entire room together.
