Wallpaper - Tangerine Crush

Our Tangerine Crush wallpaper brings together expressive abstract forms and a vibrant, sun-drenched palette created by artist Julia Purinton. Broad, overlapping shapes in rich dark orange and luminous yellow create a dynamic visual rhythm across the wall, balanced by painterly touches of blue, red, and black that lend depth and contrast. The visual texture echoes oil paint on canvas, shifting naturally between smooth passages and rougher, layered marks. Printed as custom-sized, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle paper structure, this design offers an energetic, art-led presence that transforms blank walls into confident focal points.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in living rooms and home art studios where you want the wall to carry bold visual character. Because the composition relies on sweeping, large-scale abstract shapes, giving it an expansive, uninterrupted wall allows the full movement of the painterly forms to breathe. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the dramatic colour balance sit comfortably within the room without competing with tall furniture. In a creative workspace or hobby studio, the warm yellow and orange tones create an inviting, playful backdrop that frames the space with genuine artistic energy.

Styling it

When styling an expressive, maximalist design like this, we prefer to let the artwork lead the room and balance it with thoughtful surrounding shapes and materials.

• Choose low-slung, contemporary furniture with clean lines and understated profiles so the dynamic shapes on the wall remain the main visual focus.
• Introduce dark metal or matte black accents in lighting or table frames to echo the subtle black marks within the composition and ground the brighter hues.
• Pair the vibrant surface with quiet, neutral upholstery in warm stone or oatmeal to give the eye a calm place to rest without clashing with the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is grounded in deep, terracotta-leaning dark oranges and radiant golden yellows, accented with soft red, cool blue, and grounding black. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing from the quieter neutral tones like soft warm white or pale sand on adjacent walls and trim. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper charcoal or warm umber accents on painted woodwork will highlight the dramatic contrast of the yellows and oranges.
