Wallpaper - Ink Splash III

Our Ink Splash III wallpaper, designed by Chris Paschke, brings the fluid energy of Japanese-inspired ink painting into a modern abstract composition. Broad black brushstrokes sweep across a clean white ground, softened by gentle charcoal and grey gradients and spontaneous ink splatters. A fine, curving metallic gold ribbon cuts through the composition, introducing a refined warm accent against the monochrome wash. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure, this mural wallpaper turns an expansive wall into a sophisticated focal point.

In the room

Because the composition relies on dramatic negative space and sweeping horizontal movement, we see this working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a contemporary living room or dining room. The balance of dense black pigment and open white backdrop allows the design to feel light and uncluttered even at large scale. In a home office or study, positioning the mural along the primary wall creates a focused, contemplative atmosphere. The graphic clarity also makes it a striking choice for an entrance hallway or dressing room, where the continuous fluid stroke can guide the eye naturally across the space.

Styling it

• Anchor the room with low-profile, minimalist furniture in clean silhouettes, letting the sweeping ink brushwork remain the central visual feature of the interior.
• Pair with warm, subtle metallic accents such as brushed brass or matte gold lighting fixtures to echo the delicate gold line running through the artwork.
• Balance the monochrome palette by incorporating tactile upholstery and natural textures, keeping surrounding fabrics in unpatterned, neutral weaves so the wall mural carries the pattern.

Colour combinations

The design is built upon a crisp white background, charcoal and soft grey tonal washes, deep black ink, and a warm metallic gold contour line. For adjacent walls and surrounding architectural woodwork, we recommend clean chalky whites or soft neutral greys that match the background values. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal grey or matte black joinery creates an intentional, dramatic frame around the mural. Soft ochre or warm camel accents in soft furnishings can also gently pull out the subtle warmth of the gold detail.
