Wallpaper - Pearly

Our Pearly wallpaper by artist Jeanette Vertentes presents an abstract oyster shell formed from painterly, expressive brushstrokes. Set against a clean white ground, the organic silhouette blends smokey grey and neutral tones with subtle accents of blue, green, yellow, and brown, anchored by a deep blue and purple centre that draws the eye inward. The oil-paint-inspired texture gives the motif depth and movement while keeping the overall composition airy and balanced. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because Pearly functions as an oversized painterly composition, we would give it a prominent, uninterrupted wall where the complete form of the shell can be appreciated from a distance. It works wonderfully as an accent wall in a living room behind a low sofa, or in a calm bedroom positioned behind the headboard. The generous white background keeps the design feeling light, ensuring that even on a large scale in a more compact space, the motif does not overwhelm the room.

Styling it

The fluid brushwork and organic form pair naturally with contemporary and organic modern interiors. We would balance the expressive painted texture of the mural with quiet, grounded furniture shapes and understated surrounding materials.

• Low-profile furniture with clean, soft silhouettes allows the sweeping curves of the shell to remain the primary visual focal point.
• Light, natural wood finishes such as bleached ash or pale oak complement the neutral tones in the painting without competing for attention.
• Matte ceramic accents and unpatterned, tactile textiles in soft off-white or washed grey echo the artwork's quiet, coastal sensibility.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on smokey grey, soft neutral tones, and crisp white, punctuated by delicate touches of ochre yellow, earthy brown, sage green, and midnight blue. For adjacent walls and skirting, we recommend matching the clean off-white of the background for a seamless, expansive look, or introducing a gentle pebble grey to pick up on the shell's shadowy contours. If you want a subtle accent colour in cushions or throws, a deep navy or muted slate blue connects directly to the rich pigment at the core of the motif.
