Wallpaper - Charcoal Trace II

Created by June Erica Vess, Charcoal Trace II is an abstract wall mural defined by expressive brushwork and broad, layered painterly sweeps. The composition balances airy fields of warm beige, cream, and soft off-white against a bold anchor of deep charcoal and dark slate blue in the lower foreground. Energetic dry-brush textures, delicate gestural lines, and muted warm brown accents add depth across the surface. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an artful focal point with the expansive look of an original canvas.

In the room

Because of its painterly scale and focused dark anchor, we see this wall mural working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or dining room. The asymmetric arrangement gives it a natural visual flow, drawing the eye across the lighter upper sections while grounding the room below. In an open-plan space or behind a low sofa or headboard, the generous negative space keeps the wall feeling open, allowing the darker charcoal tones to add intentional contrast without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean, contemporary furniture shapes that let the expressive brushwork stand out. Darker wood tones or warm oak create a handsome balance with the ochre-brown accents in the artwork, while matte black metal details in lighting or slim table frames echo the dark charcoal forms. Keep upholstery and textiles relatively understated in natural woven textures to complement the painterly aesthetic without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper brings together a versatile palette of sandy beige, cream, off-white, deep charcoal, muted navy blue, and warm earthy brown. On adjacent walls, soft warm whites or pale neutral greige tones allow the mural to remain the focal point while maintaining a light, cohesive atmosphere. For a moodier interior scheme, pulling the deep slate blue or charcoal into surrounding trim, painted joinery, or accent chairs creates a striking, cocooning effect.
