Wallpaper - Hold on Now

Created in collaboration with Pamela Munger, our Hold on Now wallpaper brings an expressive, abstract landscape onto the wall through broad painted blocks of colour and fine, energetic line work. Warm coral, earthy orange, and muted teal meet soft blush, grey, and ochre tones, balanced by a generous, quiet expanse across the upper half of the composition. The design has the visual texture and sweeping brushwork of a contemporary oil painting, giving it an artistic, tranquil character. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinctive way to transform a room.

In the room

Because the composition builds horizontally with its richer, more concentrated colour blocks grounded across the middle and lower areas, we see this working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated home art studio. The sweeping proportions give the landscape feel room to unfold, creating an engaging focal point behind a low-backed sofa or along a main feature wall.

The large, calm area in the upper portion keeps the overall atmosphere open rather than overwhelming, allowing the artwork to breathe even in spaces with standard ceiling heights. Where daylight is plentiful, the delicate shifts between the pale pinks, greys, and softer yellow-greens become clearer, while softer artificial light in the evening brings forward the warmth of the coral and terracotta sections.

Styling it

To let the painterly character of the wallpaper take center stage, we recommend pairing it with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Low-profile seating and open shelving prevent the rich horizontal band of colour from being obscured.

In terms of interior style, this design naturally suits organic modern and contemporary settings. Introducing low-contrast textures such as warm, untreated timber or soft bouclé upholstery helps ground the room without competing with the abstract artwork. Keeping surrounding decorative accessories sculptural and minimal ensures the expressive brushstrokes remain the primary visual statement.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines warm coral, deep terracotta, muted teal, and charcoal alongside soft blush, sandy beige, and pale grey.

To create a balanced palette across the rest of the interior, consider pulling out the softer background shades like pale sand, warm off-white, or delicate chalky grey for adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more grounded contrast, deep teal, slate grey, or muted rust work beautifully on accent furniture, cushions, or large area rugs.
