Wallpaper - Shokuji

Created by Lisa Wirenfelt, our Shokuji wallpaper brings together bold abstract shapes in an uncluttered, balanced composition. A textured mustard-yellow oval grounds the left side of the artwork, intersected by a crisp diagonal black line that cuts across the centre. An off-white rounded form sits to the right, balanced by a deep blue vertical rectangle along the edge, all resting on a warm, light cream ground. We produce this design as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural printed on paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an artistic accent wall for contemporary interiors.

In the room

In a living room or home study, we see Shokuji working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full geometric composition has space to unfold. Because the artwork relies on large, deliberate forms and broad fields of colour rather than a dense repeating pattern, giving the mural room to breathe allows each element to hold its place. Placed behind a low-profile sofa or along a main wall in a study, the calm cream backdrop keeps the room feeling open while the warm mustard yellow and deep blue provide a clear visual focal point.

Styling it

To complement the graphic character of this mural wallpaper, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and structured. Low-profile pieces with clean silhouettes let the shapes on the wall remain the main focus.

Warm, natural wood finishes such as ash or light oak sit comfortably alongside the mustard and cream tones, adding warmth without competing with the bold black diagonal. Incorporating simple upholstery in unpatterned, matte fabrics helps anchor the seating area, allowing the artwork to serve as the defining visual statement in the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself combines a warm cream background with rich mustard yellow, fawn tones, deep blue, and sharp black accents. When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we suggest pulling directly from these existing shades.

A soft off-white or light warm stone on adjoining walls will maintain the airy feel of the cream ground. For areas where you want more definition, bringing in dark charcoal or black on window frames, shelving, or side tables echoes the central diagonal stroke. To introduce subtle warmth, muted ochre accents or warm fawn textiles provide a natural connection to the yellow oval.
