Wallpaper - Scraped Blue I

Our Scraped Blue I wallpaper by Chris Paschke brings together overlapping, translucent brushstrokes in soft powder blue and white, creating an airy abstract composition with a layered watercolour character. Fine curved lines cut gently through the washed background, adding subtle movement across the surface, while delicate speckles enhance the visual depth. The open structure and restrained cool palette give the design a quiet, artistic presence on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and provides a calm focal point without dominating the room.

In the room

In a bedroom or sitting room, we see this design working particularly well on a main wall behind a headboard or low-profile sofa. Because the motif is soft and abstract rather than heavily directional, it can spread comfortably across a wider uninterrupted wall without feeling visually repetitive. In a home office or quiet reading corner, the gentle blue washes introduce interest while keeping the background calm and uncluttered during the working day. For bathrooms, its light, water-inspired aesthetic introduces a fresh, open quality to the space.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the delicate linework and layered gradients take centre stage. The cool powder blue tones sit naturally alongside minimalist or contemporary interior pieces, especially furniture with clean silhouettes and slender metal legs.

To bring warmth into the space, pair the mural with light natural woods such as ash or pale oak, which soften the cool undertones without competing with the abstract print. Layering unbleached linen or light cotton textiles on nearby seating or beds helps echo the breezy, painterly quality of the design.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around powder blue, soft sky tones, and clean white, with gentle tonal transitions throughout the background.

Around the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with chalky off-whites or soft pale greys on adjacent walls and woodwork to maintain an open, cohesive atmosphere. If you prefer subtle contrast, muted slate blue, deep navy accents, or warm sandy neutrals in cushions and ceramics will anchor the lighter shades beautifully.
