Wallpaper - In Its Own Time II

Created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, our In Its Own Time II wallpaper is an expressive abstract composition defined by broad, painterly colour fields and dynamic brushwork. At the heart of the design rests a bold cobalt blue form, framed by airy blocks of off-white, soft sage green, pastel pink, and accents of vibrant teal, orange, and deep charcoal. The visual texture echoes layers of oil paint and fine graphite marks, giving the mural wallpapers a gallery-inspired presence across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings contemporary artistic energy to any interior.

In the room

We find this abstract wall mural works exceptionally well as a focal feature in spaces where you want to introduce colour without overwhelming the room. In a living room or modern dining area, positioning the design along a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the central blue block and delicate outer layers to be seen in their entirety. It also makes an engaging backdrop for a home office, study, or creative studio, where the interplay of cool tones and warm accents creates a stimulating yet balanced visual environment.

In a bedroom, we suggest placing the mural behind the headboard. Because the lower and outer sections feature softer white and muted green passages, lower furniture will not disrupt the overall balance of the artwork. Daylight brings out the nuanced brush marks and subtle contrasts between the pale greens and teals, while softer evening lighting deepens the cobalt core.

Styling it

Because this design carries significant visual character, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined to let the artwork take centre stage. Contemporary pieces with slim silhouettes work naturally alongside the painterly forms.

To complement the cool blues and crisp whites, consider incorporating warm wood elements, such as mid-tone oak or walnut, which ground the space and tie in with the artwork's smaller orange and terracotta accents. Surrounding textiles in neutral, unpatterned weaves will maintain balance and allow the mural's expressive brushstrokes to remain the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a rich palette anchored by cobalt blue, supported by soft white, pale green, powder pink, teal, and delicate touches of orange and charcoal.

When choosing colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, a soft off-white or light chalky grey creates a seamless transition that lets the wallpaper stand out. If you prefer a more cohesive, tonal approach, pulling out a muted sage green or a pale blue-grey for trims or neighbouring surfaces harmonises beautifully with the mural's softer background layers.
