Wallpaper - Incised Walnut

Our Incised Walnut wallpaper, designed by Chris Paschke, brings a calm, abstract composition to the wall through soft geometric forms and gentle contrast. The design features a curved golden arc meeting a circular shape against a textured ivory and beige backdrop, accented with fine incised white line work that adds visual depth. The quiet balance between the golden tones and the light, neutral field gives the motif an artistic yet understated presence. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, the paper features a subtle surface structure that complements the painterly aesthetic.

In the room

We find this abstract mural wallpaper works exceptionally well across wider, uninterrupted walls where the relationship between the two main curved forms has room to breathe. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa allows the upper arc and circle to remain completely visible, acting as an elegant focal point without overwhelming the interior. It also suits a calm home office or a spacious entry, where the light base keeps the space feeling open while the warm gold accents introduce an inviting character upon arrival. Because the pattern relies on broad negative space rather than a dense repeat, it avoids visual clutter in rooms dedicated to quiet focus.

Styling it

To complement the postmodern, minimalist character of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean architectural lines and simple silhouettes. Furniture with gentle curves echoes the rounded forms of the motif, while low-standing pieces help maintain the generous sense of vertical space.

When it comes to materials, warm wood tones such as walnut or natural oak harmonise naturally with the golden and beige palette. Surrounding the wall with understated matte finishes and softly textured textiles allows the fine white line details of the artwork to stand out without competing with heavy patterns nearby.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in soft ivory, warm beige, and muted golden tones, defined by crisp white accent lines.

To build a cohesive room scheme around it, we recommend using warm off-whites or soft stone shades on adjacent walls and woodwork. For a richer contrast, deeper earth tones or warm walnut finishes in furniture and joinery tie directly into the golden elements, anchoring the lighter background.
