Wallpaper - Avalanche III

Our Avalanche III wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, brings broad black and rich saddle brown brushstrokes across a textured beige backdrop. The abstract composition builds depth through sweeping movement and soft transitions between deep and lighter areas, with subtle touches of ochre and tan that bring warmth to the earthy palette. It has the expressive look of a painted watercolour drawing, giving the design an organic, artistic rhythm that holds visual interest across a wider wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office, where the sweeping brushwork has enough open wall space to unfold its full scale. Because the composition carries strong visual weight and dark-to-light contrast, placing it behind a low sofa or behind a desk lets the artwork act as an expressive focal point without feeling crowded. In rooms with ample natural light, the subtle shifts between tan, ochre, and deep brown become especially clear, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmer tones in the beige background.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic brushstrokes, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines and grounded forms.

• Choose warm or lighter wood tones, such as natural oak or warm ash, to echo the earthy undertones without competing with the darker brown marks.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger rugs relatively quiet in neutral, unpatterned fabrics, allowing the wall mural to carry the primary visual interest.
• Introduce subtle accents in matte black metal or warm bronze to pick up on the bold painted strokes in the composition.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in rich saddle brown, deep black, ochre, and tan against a textured beige base. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we recommend soft warm whites, gentle sand tones, or warm beige shades that blend naturally into the background of the mural. If you want to lean into the darker elements, deep espresso brown, charcoal, or muted terracotta can be introduced through cushions, throws, or accent furniture to anchor the overall scheme.
