Wallpaper - Map of the Stars I

Created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, our Map of the Stars I wallpaper pairs an expressive, stormy upper sky with a rich, floral landscape below. The top portion is defined by swept strokes of slate, deep blue, and indigo, lending the composition an atmospheric, painterly depth. Across the lower half, energetic impasto-look marks in lilac, rose pink, berry, white, and deep forest green suggest a wildflower meadow in full bloom. As with all Wallism wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper, which features a subtle surface structure and is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition is split between a deep, atmospheric sky and dense, colourful detail along the bottom, we particularly like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or dining room, positioning the mural along a main accent wall allows the full sweep of the painted sky to open up the upper space while the textured floral foreground grounds the room.

It also works beautifully behind a headboard in a bedroom or guest room, where low furniture lets the upper indigo tones frame the room without concealing the vibrant lower brushwork. In a home office or study, the rich slate blue backdrop creates an enveloping, creative environment that feels distinct from standard plains.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, heavy brushwork and rich colour contrasts of this design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes clean and uncluttered. Mid-century modern or contemporary pieces with streamlined profiles prevent the space from feeling overly busy.

For surrounding textures, we like introducing warmth through natural timber finishes, such as walnut or warm-toned oak, which anchor the cooler blue tones above. Upholstery in textured neutral weaves or velvet in a complementary deep blue or muted berry creates a considered, cohesive feel without competing with the painterly ground.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built upon a base of deep slate blue, denim, and navy, balanced by energetic accents of blush pink, lilac, wine, moss green, and crisp white.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a soft off-white or light warm grey lets the mural stand out as the primary focal point. For a more enveloping, dramatic interior, pairing the mural with a deep slate or muted inky navy drawn directly from the upper sky creates a sophisticated, continuous look across doors, skirting, and trim.
