Wallpaper - Makeover IV

Our Makeover IV wallpaper by Chris Paschke brings a strong graphic presence to the wall, balancing clean white space with sweeping, curved black forms and a textured, branch-like diagonal gold element. What we particularly appreciate in this design is how the clean contrast between the dark shapes and the lighter ground gives the abstract composition an immediate sense of clarity. The textured detailing within the gold accent introduces visual depth, preventing the piece from feeling purely flat. As with all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a living room or a dedicated home office where an accent wall can carry a bold, contemporary focal point. Because the composition relies on generous white space around the curving black and gold elements, it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full movement can unfold without being cut off by high wardrobes or tall cabinetry. Positioned behind a low-profile sofa or along a main study wall, the strong diagonal direction naturally draws the eye and gives the room a modern, art-led character.

Styling it

To let the artwork speak for itself, we would keep the surrounding furniture restrained and clean-lined. Low-slung seating, minimalist silhouettes, and unadorned surfaces sit naturally alongside the bold geometry without competing for attention.

A subtle way to balance the strong black forms is to introduce warm wood tones, such as smoked oak or walnut, which pick up on the earthy warmth of the textured gold element. Matte black metal accents on lighting or slender furniture frames will reinforce the graphic shapes, while keeping decorative clutter to a minimum helps maintain the open, calm atmosphere created by the white negative space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a striking palette of deep black, textured gold, and crisp white, underpinned by warm, earthy undertones.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger textiles, we suggest working with soft warm whites or pale off-whites to let the central composition anchor the room. If you prefer a moodier aesthetic, a deep charcoal or rich umber on adjacent walls creates a seamless, enveloping setting that emphasizes the warmth of the gold detail.
