Wallpaper - Brushstroke Fan Scallop, Zebra

Our Brushstroke Fan Scallop wallpaper, designed by RNM Arts, combines an arched fan geometry with expressive, ink-like brushwork in deep charcoal and warm off-white. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the structured Art Deco scallop arches and the organic, painterly marks that form each plume. The motif brings a striking vertical rhythm and graphic contrast to any space. Produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an immediate visual statement.

In the room

Because the repeating fan arches have a pronounced vertical flow and bold monochrome contrast, we see this wallpaper working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, behind a headboard in a bedroom, or framing a dining space. In rooms with higher ceilings, the upward motion of the plumes accentuates height, while in more compact rooms like a hallway or study, the rhythmic pattern creates an immersive, considered atmosphere. We would give this design a relatively uninterrupted wall so the full arch repeat and painterly detailing can be appreciated without being broken up by tall storage.

Styling it

The graphic quality of this design pairs naturally with both contemporary and classic interior elements. We suggest balancing the bold pattern with grounding, quiet furniture shapes. Dark stained timber or warm mid-toned woods sit comfortably against the deep charcoal tones, while matte black architectural accents help echo the ink-like brush marks. To keep the focus on the wall, we recommend keeping surrounding upholstery and curtains relatively plain, using textured weaves in cream, oatmeal, or stone rather than competing multi-coloured prints.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around a sharp contrast of rich charcoal black and a soft, warm off-white ground. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling directly from these tones: an off-white with warm undertones will keep the room cohesive and bright, while a soft charcoal or slate grey on surrounding woodwork creates a deeper, more dramatic envelope. Muted earth tones, such as olive green, warm ochre, or burnt terracotta, also work beautifully when introduced through furniture, ceramics, or accent cushions.
