Wallpaper - Metallic Textures II

In our Metallic Textures II wallpaper by Chris Paschke, abstract composition meets natural forms in a balanced, grounded study of shape and tone. Two overlapping pebble-like silhouettes with a subtle woodgrain-like visual texture anchor the piece, set against a soft beige backdrop layered with gentle orange watercolour-like washes. Sweeping curved white lines cut across the earthy brown and umber forms, adding a quiet sense of rhythm and direction. The result is an organic modern design that works particularly well as a focal point across a living room or study wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on large, deliberate shapes and generous negative space, we see this working best on an uninterrupted wall where the full artwork has room to breathe. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa allows the curved lines and upper washes of colour to remain entirely visible, creating an expansive, gallery-like feel.

In a home office or home library, the earthy palette brings a quiet, grounded atmosphere without overwhelming the room. The subtle contrast between the deep umber tones and the pale beige background means the design can comfortably carry an accent wall without demanding that the surrounding walls compete for attention.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern aesthetic of the design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and natural interior finishes:

• Choose furniture with low profiles and simple silhouettes, such as a low-slung credenza or an unadorned sofa, so the primary forms in the wallpaper remain unobstructed.
• Introduce warm wood tones in adjacent shelving or occasional tables to echo the visual grain within the central brown shapes.
• Keep surrounding accent pieces understated, leaning towards matte ceramics or minimal brushed bronze hardware that harmonises with the warm background tones.

Colour combinations

The design itself centres on a refined earthy palette of deep umber brown, muted woodgrain tones, soft beige, and delicate washes of warm orange.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger textiles, we like continuing the soft beige base across adjacent painted surfaces to create a cohesive, enveloping room. For a crisper contrast, a clean off-white trim highlights the sweeping white line work in the motif. If you prefer a richer scheme, pulling out the warm terracotta and burnt orange tones for cushions, throws, or accent upholstery adds depth while tying the whole interior together.
