Wallpaper - Step It Up III

Created by Avery Tillmon, our Step It Up III wallpaper brings a graphic, collage-style fashion illustration onto the wall with clean confidence. The focal motif forms a pointed-toe high-heeled shoe pieced together from black textured elements, newspaper-style print clippings, and paper cutouts, finished with a small black bow. Set against a backdrop of torn rectangular paper fragments in soft cream and neutral white tones, the composition balances bold contrast with an artistic, layered feel. We produce our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, creating a modern accent wall that feels tailored and distinct.

In the room

We particularly like this design where fashion and graphic art can take centre stage. In a dressing room, a bedroom, or a dedicated creative studio, the high-contrast shoe illustration creates an immediate visual statement. Because the central motif is bold and distinct, we would give it an uninterrupted wall where the full silhouette and surrounding paper fragments have room to breathe, such as opposite a wardrobe run or behind a low dressing table. In a contemporary living room or a stylish teenage room, it works naturally as a focused feature wall, keeping the visual energy contained to one surface while the neutral background softens the overall contrast across the wider space.

Styling it

We recommend letting the graphic character of the illustration guide the surrounding space. Clean-lined, contemporary furniture in black metal or painted black finishes echoes the dark collage pieces and anchors the room. For seating or textiles, simple off-white, cream, or light grey upholstery keeps the palette cohesive without competing with the newspaper print details. We would avoid overly busy patterns nearby, allowing the bold silhouettes and layered paper textures on the wall to remain the primary decorative focus.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a focused monochrome and neutral palette of graphic black, torn cream tones, and soft white. When planning the rest of the room, we suggest working with warm off-white or soft linen paint on adjacent walls to maintain an open, cohesive atmosphere. Deep charcoal or soft matte black details on architectural trim, light fittings, or mirror frames can pull out the dark tones of the shoe motif, creating a polished, intentional look.
