Wallpaper - Urban Abstract

Our Urban Abstract wallpaper, designed by Chris Paschke, brings together a sweeping horizontal brown brushstroke and a textured gold rectangular block against a clean, light backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the fluid, painterly edges of the deep chocolate brown stroke and the defined geometry of the gold element. It creates a calm, contemporary composition with a refined artistic presence. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working exceptionally well on a broad, uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa where the full horizontal span of the brushstroke can be appreciated. The open composition and restrained elements ensure the wall mural makes a bold visual statement without overwhelming the space. In a dedicated home office or study, placing this design behind a desk creates a focused, sophisticated background that brings warmth through its earthy brown tones while keeping the overall visual field clean and orderly.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with contemporary or organic modern interiors that echo its minimalist balance. Low-profile furniture with clean horizontal lines works naturally alongside the wide brushstroke, keeping the focal point at eye level.

Surrounding materials in lighter warm woods or soft upholstered finishes will complement the earthy palette without competing with the artwork. We would avoid heavily patterned textiles nearby, letting the contrast between the matte brown and shimmering gold effect remain the primary visual focus in the room.

Colour combinations

The design features rich dark chocolate brown and warm golden tones set against a neutral off-white ground. To build a cohesive palette around this wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted stone shades on adjacent walls. For accents, deeper earth tones such as warm espresso, charcoal, or muted ochre draw out the depth in the brushwork while keeping the overall interior grounded and elegant.
