Wallpaper - You Should Have Told Me

Our You Should Have Told Me wallpaper, designed by Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings an expressive contemporary energy to the wall through sweeping, gestural brushstrokes and rich painted layers. Built around a lively palette of blush pink and popping pink alongside vibrant red, blue, purple, and crisp white accents, the abstract composition balances broad sweeps of colour with dynamic, irregular shapes that create a wonderful sense of movement. The artwork captures the visual character of layered oil paint, giving the surface depth and a bold artistic presence. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure that complements painterly motifs beautifully.

In the room

Because the composition carries such expressive movement and broad brushwork, we see this working exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room. Placing it behind a low-backed sofa gives the full scale of the artwork room to breathe, allowing the rhythm of the brushstrokes to unfold across the space without being broken up by tall furniture. In a home art studio or creative study, the vibrant palette creates an inspiring focal point that anchors the entire room. While the design works brilliantly on a main accent wall, it can also wrap across adjacent walls in an open-plan living area for anyone who appreciates a bold, eclectic maximalist aesthetic.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper take the lead and keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded in form:

• Pair the vibrant colours with sleek, modern furniture in clean silhouettes to balance the energetic, painterly motion across the wall.
• Introduce neutral upholstery in soft off-white, light grey, or muted oatmeal to give the eye a quiet place to rest against the active pattern.
• Choose natural wood elements with warm, understated tones to bring a grounding presence into the room without competing with the pink and blue hues.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a striking palette of blush pink, bold popping pink, and deep red, contrasted by vivid blues, purple notes, and bright white highlights. To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pulling the soft blush pink or gentle off-white from the motif onto adjacent painted walls or architectural trim. For those who want to lean into the design's playful vibrancy, styling with deep cobalt blue accents or rich berry textiles through cushions and throws will echo the secondary brushstrokes and tie the whole room together effortlessly.
