Wallpaper - Figure Study II

Created by Avery Tillmon, our Figure Study II wallpaper brings a quiet figurative study into the home with painterly line work and an earthy, muted palette. The composition centres on a seated figure viewed from behind, resting gently on one arm with braided hair trailing down the back and soft blue fabric draped around the hips. Subtle vertical linework and weathered geometric stamps frame the neutral alabaster ground, giving the design an intimate studio character. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the figure forms a strong central focal point, we see this wallpaper working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full silhouette and surrounding negative space can breathe. In a bedroom, placing it behind a low bed frame allows the figure to rise gracefully above the headboard without losing the delicate lines along the spine and shoulders.

It is equally suited to a home art studio or a quiet reading corner where you want to introduce fine art onto a mural scale. The understated alabaster and parchment-toned background keeps the composition light and airy, meaning it settles comfortably into both compact spaces and larger open rooms without visually closing them down.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with organic modern furnishings that echo its sketchy, hand-drawn quality. Low-profile furniture with clean outlines works best, as ornate or heavy pieces can compete with the fluid charcoal contours of the figure.

To complement the weathered visual texture of the wallpaper, consider incorporating tactile fabrics such as washed linen bedding, raw silk cushions, or boucle upholstery. Natural finishes like pale unvarnished oak, travertine, and matte ceramics sit naturally alongside the earthy neutral ground, while a single accent piece in slate blue can quietly pull out the tones of the draped fabric.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on an alabaster white and warm neutral base, enriched by charcoal sketch lines, warm ochre and chestnut in the hair, and muted slate blue in the drapery.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm chalky stones, and muted greiges create a seamless transition that lets the mural lead the room. If you prefer more definition, deep slate blue, faded indigo, or warm terracotta accents in textiles and decorative ceramics will ground the space while drawing direct connection to the artwork's core tones.
