Wallpaper - Let the Games Begin II

Our Let the Games Begin II wallpaper mural by Sarah Adams brings an artistic perspective to basketball culture. The motif centres on a basketball rendered with expressive brushstrokes and a watercolour-like character, featuring warm saddle brown tones set against a deep black backdrop. Dynamic paint splatters along the perimeter give the composition energy and movement, while bold black lines define the iconic ribs of the ball. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates a striking focal point with a moody, graphic identity.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well where a strong, dramatic accent wall is needed. Because the composition relies on high contrast between the saddle brown basketball and the deep black background, it naturally commands visual focus. In a home gym, workout space, or games room, we would place this design across an open wall where the central motif and splattered edges can be viewed without being heavily blocked by tall furniture. In a bedroom or teenager's room, positioning the mural on the wall behind a bed creates an expressive backdrop that anchors the entire space.

Styling it

The bold, high-contrast look of our wallpaper mural pairs naturally with contemporary and minimalist interior styling. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and streamlined so the artwork remains the primary visual statement.

Dark metal elements and clean architectural silhouettes balance the painterly, energetic edges of the motif. For furniture and larger surfaces, matte black finishes or warm, natural wood tones complement the earthy saddle brown shades within the design without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on rich saddle brown, warm earthy undertones, and an expansive black field.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing this design with adjacent walls in deep charcoal or soft off-white to let the dark contrast stand out crisply. For accents and larger room elements, bringing in muted terracotta, warm tan leather, or deep slate echoes the earthy tones in the ball while maintaining a balanced, contemporary atmosphere.
