Wallpaper - Waterfall Abstract I

Designed by Becky Thorns, our Waterfall Abstract I wallpaper brings together sweeping wave-like forms, contoured line work, and a balanced neutral palette. A broad slate grey band flows across the composition, framed by soft black and white shapes, while fine brown contour lines add a sense of movement and layered depth. The painted texture and organic curves create an understated yet graphic presence that feels grounded and considered. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

In a living room or a dedicated home office, we find this mural works particularly well on an expansive, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal sweep of the wave motif can unfold without visual breaks. Because the composition balances broad color blocks with finer topographic lines, it holds up nicely both from across the room and at closer viewing distances. We especially like placing it behind a low-profile sofa or behind a clean desk setup, allowing the organic curves in the upper portion of the design to remain visible and anchor the space.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper serve as the visual focal point and keeping the surrounding furniture relatively quiet. Clean-lined contemporary or minimalist pieces complement the graphic rhythm without competing with the curved forms.

A few styling directions we particularly like:

• Choose low, horizontal furniture in warm woods or painted black finishes to echo the darker elements in the print.
• Pair with matte ceramic accents and tactile textiles like unbleached wool or heavy cotton to complement the neutral palette.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal, allowing the sweeping movement of the design to define the room.

Colour combinations

The design features a foundation of slate grey, soft black, clean white, and subtle earthy brown lines. When choosing colors for adjacent painted walls or cabinetry, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone shades maintain a seamless, tonal look. If you want to introduce more depth, pulling the slate tone or deep charcoal into surrounding accents, window frames, or upholstery creates a striking, cohesive contrast.
