Wallpaper - Bright Branches II

Created by Chris Paschke, our Bright Branches II wallpaper brings together soft, painterly brushwork with delicate, branching gold lines. Broad washes of chalky white, pale grey and subtle sky blue sweep across the background, revealing a textured, layered paint effect with organic vertical strokes. Flowing over these quiet tones, the slender, branching lines draw the eye with their warm metallic appearance, reminiscent of Japanese kintsugi or slender twigs in winter. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, it introduces an airy, artful presence without dominating the room.

In the room

Because the motif relies on open space and gentle movement, we think this design works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the graceful arcs have room to breathe. In a calm master bedroom behind a low headboard, the soft palette creates a serene, restful visual mood. We also see this working beautifully in a bright living room or a dedicated home office, where the fluid composition adds subtle sophistication without competing with everyday furnishings. For smaller spaces like a downstairs cloakroom or compact study, the light base tones keep the room feeling fresh and open while providing an intriguing focal point.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern aesthetic of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture refined and understated. Low-profile pieces with clean silhouettes let the wall mural take centre stage.

• Choose warm, natural wood finishes such as light oak, bleached ash or walnut to echo the organic branching lines.
• Incorporate brushed brass or muted gold accents in lighting fixtures, mirror frames or hardware to subtly tie in with the gold detailing.
• Layer in soft textiles like unbleached linen, wool bouclé or woven cotton in cream and neutral tones to balance the cool blue undertones.

Colour combinations

The design features a foundation of off-white, misty pale grey, subtle sky blue and rich antique gold. When choosing paint colours and materials for neighbouring walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, alabaster and soft ecru create a cohesive, seamless backdrop. If you prefer a bit more depth, consider pulling out the gentle blue-grey tones for adjacent surfaces or painted cabinetry. For a grounding contrast, deep charcoal or warm taupe accents help the luminous metallic-look lines stand out even more.
