Wallpaper - Planning a Trip

Capturing a quiet moment of focus and anticipation, our Planning a Trip wallpaper brings together rich, warm tones and classic objects in a balanced flat-lay composition. A cup of milky coffee on a clean white saucer takes centre stage, set against a graphic wood-inlay tabletop in alternating blocks of caramel, warm honey, and deep espresso brown. A vintage black twin-lens camera, tortoiseshell spectacles, and a rich leather notebook frame the scene with a nostalgic, storytelling character. Created by Tono Balaguer, this design works beautifully as an accent wall in a study or creative nook. Like all Wallism wall murals, it is made to measure and entirely PVC-free.

In the room

We especially like this design on a dedicated feature wall in a home office, library, or study where its warm, grounded character can set the mood for the entire room. Because the motif is arranged with distinct visual focal points around the edges and centre, it works best on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the camera, notebook, and geometric wood blocks remain clearly visible. Placing a low desk or simple reading bench beneath the mural wallpaper lets the photographic elements sit naturally above your furniture line, creating an engaging backdrop that brings warmth and personality into the space without overwhelming it.

Styling it

To let the intricate wood grain and retro details stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and understated. Contemporary mid-century modern pieces in warm timber tones echo the geometric tabletop pattern without competing for attention.

• Pair with warm wooden desks or low shelving in oak or walnut to complement the rich parquet look.
• Introduce dark metal or matte black lighting fixtures to echo the vintage twin-lens camera.
• Choose neutral upholstery in soft cream, beige, or textured linen to balance the deeper brown accents.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a warm, earthy palette of caramel, chestnut brown, deep mahogany, and soft wood tones, accented by clean porcelain white and deep vintage black. For surrounding walls and skirting, we recommend soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or muted beige paints that keep the room light while reflecting the natural timber shades in the print. If you want a moodier, more enveloping feel, a deep espresso or dark cocoa brown on adjacent cabinetry or woodwork creates a striking, cohesive look.
