Wallpaper - Oil Stick Study No.1

Created by Julia Dreams, our Oil Stick Study No.1 wallpaper brings together bold, expressive floral shapes with the distinct visual texture of wax crayons and oil pastels. The symmetrical composition balances vibrant sunshine yellow petals against deep cobalt blues, warm oranges, soft pinks, and rich charcoal accents over a pale yellow backdrop. We particularly like how the visible, hand-drawn look lends the geometric floral repeat a relaxed, 1970s revival feel with plenty of character. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an upbeat, artistic presence to any interior wall.

In the room

The lively rhythm and warm palette make this pattern especially engaging in creative living areas, a playful children's playroom, or an energetic teenage bedroom. Because the motif is structured around a bold kaleidoscope repeat, we find it works wonderfully on a main feature wall behind a desk, craft table, or bed where the full symmetry can unfold without being heavily obscured.

In a hobby room or dedicated home art studio, the expressive strokes set an inspiring, creative backdrop. When used across multiple walls in a compact space, the pale yellow ground keeps the surrounding atmosphere light, while the popping floral accents provide visual depth and interest.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork stand out, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple mid-century or retro-inspired shapes that echo its 1970s aesthetic. Clean wooden furniture in light ash, birch, or warm teak balances the strong colours without competing for attention.

When choosing surrounding textiles and decorative accents, pick up on the cobalt blue or soft pink tones in plain, textured fabrics such as cotton twill or flat-weave rugs. Keeping decorative objects relatively minimal and graphic ensures the wall mural remains the clear focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres around cheerful sunshine yellow, rich orange, pastel pink, vibrant blue, and grounding charcoal. When decorating adjacent walls or choosing painted woodwork, a soft butter yellow or a warm, muted off-white creates a harmonious, sunny transition.

If you prefer a sharper contrast, pulling the deep blue or dark charcoal into small accent details like picture frames, shelving brackets, or a desk chair gives the floral motif a contemporary edge while tying the entire palette together.
