Wallpaper - Abstract Paints, Denim

Designed by Irina Chikati, our Abstract Paints, Denim wallpaper features rhythmic, undulating ribbons of colour that sweep across the wall in a fluid, paint-inspired composition. Bold bands of deep indigo, slate grey, denim blue, and pale ice blue interlock to create a balanced sense of movement and visual depth. Fine painted-looking brushstroke textures soften the edges between each curving layer, giving the graphic composition a subtle artistic touch. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a light paper structure, this mural wallpaper brings a modern, considered focal point to contemporary interiors.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. The large-scale, flowing curves have room to unfold across a generous surface without being prematurely cut short by doors or tall cabinetry. Behind a low-profile sofa, the horizontal movement of the waves anchors the seating area, drawing the eye across the room. In a home office, placing the wallpaper along the main focal wall introduces a calm, architectural energy that feels grounded and uncluttered throughout the day.

Styling it

Because the undulating rhythm carries strong visual character, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated to maintain a balanced space. Low-slung contemporary pieces in matte black metal or smooth painted finishes provide a crisp, graphic contrast to the fluid brushstroke forms. For softer furnishings, tactile upholstery in muted charcoal, cool grey, or crisp off-white lets the blue tones of the mural remain the centrepiece without visual competition.

Colour combinations

Our design is built on a cool-toned palette of rich denim, dark slate, muted mid-blue, and soft pale grey. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, a clean cool white or a soft, neutral light grey will keep the space bright and open while echoing the palest ribbons in the motif. If you prefer deeper contrast, pairing the wallpaper with dark charcoal or slate on neighbouring joinery creates an intentional, cohesive look that mirrors the deeper painted layers.
