Wallpaper - Bright and Cream II

Our Bright and Cream II wallpaper, created with artist Chris Paschke, brings together sweeping brushwork in black, white and grey with delicate gold-toned lines that curve across an open, cream-coloured ground. The motif has the expressive character of layered paint, shifting between smooth washes and rougher, textured-looking strokes that give the composition remarkable visual depth. We especially like how the generous neutral backdrop keeps the overall feeling calm while the dark strokes and warm accents provide clear artistic definition. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a refined way to bring abstract art onto a larger scale.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room or a dedicated home office, where an accent wall can showcase the sweeping movement of the artwork. On a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall, such as behind a low-backed sofa or along the main sightline of a study, the full arc of the brushstrokes has space to breathe. Because the base is built on quiet cream and white tones, the pattern adds strong visual interest without making the space feel crowded. In rooms with steady daylight, the contrast between the deep black strokes and the lighter grey washes becomes especially clear, giving the wall an engaging, layered presence throughout the day.

Styling it

To balance the expressive geometry of the artwork, we would pair this design with clean-lined contemporary or minimalist furniture that lets the wall remain the focal point. Low-profile seating in soft charcoal, off-white or warm grey echoes the palette of the brushwork without competing with its motion. For surrounding accents, subtle brushed brass or muted warm metal hardware ties in naturally with the flowing gold lines, while keeping surfaces uncluttered ensures the artistic character of the room feels intentional and calm.

Colour combinations

The artwork is rooted in a balanced palette of soft cream, clean white and neutral greys, punctuated by deep black and fine gold lines. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, skirting or large upholstery, we suggest pulling from these neutral foundations. Warm off-white, light pebble grey or soft stone on neighbouring surfaces creates a seamless, tonal transition that keeps the room feeling light. If you prefer higher contrast, introducing charcoal or soft black through a statement armchair or dark window framing picks up on the boldest brushstrokes and gives the entire interior a grounded, sophisticated edge.
