Wallpaper - Atomic Paint, Pastel

Our Atomic Paint, Pastel wallpaper brings together soft blue, mauve, and powder blue brushstrokes layered over a pale backdrop. Designed by Irina Chikati, the abstract composition balances broad painted forms with fine curved black line work and geometric segments. The layered, collage-like feel gives the pattern visual depth while keeping an open, fluid movement across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an artistic, contemporary presence that feels expressive yet gentle.

In the room

In a bedroom or living room, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall behind a bed or sofa, where the sweeping curves and layered brush marks can be seen in full. Because the forms are generous and varied, giving the wallpaper a wider uninterrupted wall lets the interplay between transparent washes and bold lines breathe. The design also translates beautifully to a dedicated home office, study, or art studio, adding creative energy without overwhelming a workspace. For spaces like hallways, entryways, or a guest room, the lighter background helps keep the space feeling open while still introducing distinct graphic character.

Styling it

To let the painterly quality of the wallpaper lead, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, architectural silhouettes and minimal surface ornamentation.

• Combine with mid-toned or lighter wood finishes, which ground the airy pastel tones without creating stark contrast.
• Introduce soft upholstery in quiet neutral fabrics to balance the dynamic curved lines and abstract shapes.
• Incorporate subtle black metal accents in lighting or table frames to echo the fine graphic line work running through the design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a delicate palette of powder blue, soft mauve, pale base tones, and fine black linear accents. Around it, we like combining these tones with warm off-whites, chalky greys, or muted stone colours on neighbouring walls and trim to maintain an understated, unified atmosphere. If you want to draw out the deeper notes of the motif, accents in muted plum, dusty lilac, or slate blue provide a natural extension of the palette across soft furnishings and decorative objects.
