Wallpaper - Graf

Designed by John Beckley, our Graf wallpaper brings an expressive burst of classic 1980s street art into the home. The composition layers dynamic graffiti lettering and abstract spray-paint shapes in bold yellow, vibrant pink, cobalt blue, punchy red, and sharp green. Heavy black outlines define the typography, while visible white paint drips and spray splatters add raw graphic contrast and a sense of spontaneous movement across the surface. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates an energetic, colourful statement wall that feels direct, urban, and full of character.

In the room

Because the composition is dense and visually intense, we see our wall murals like this working particularly well as dedicated accent walls. In a teenage bedroom or a dedicated playroom, placing the design behind a bed, a gaming desk, or an activity table immediately anchors the room and establishes a playful creative atmosphere. It also suits a home gym where the strong angles, vivid primary-leaning palette, and sense of movement help create an upbeat setting.

For the best visual balance, we recommend hanging this design on a relatively uninterrupted wall. Giving the layered graffiti letters enough continuous space allows the full scale of the artwork to unfold without being excessively cut off by tall wardrobes or high furniture.

Styling it

When styling a room around such a high-contrast, graphic pattern, we suggest letting the wallpaper take centre stage and keeping the surrounding furniture clean and contemporary.

• Pair the mural with modern furniture featuring simple, angular silhouettes and matte black metal frames to echo the heavy painted outlines in the motif.
• Introduce smooth, painted surfaces or pale grey finishes across larger furniture pieces so the eye has quiet resting points around the room.
• Bring in a few small decorative accents that echo individual colours from the design, such as a bright yellow task lamp or a bold blue cushion, without cluttering the space with competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette within our mural wallpapers design is vibrant and diverse, anchored by a bright sunshine yellow base and complemented by vivid pink, red, deep blue, green, crisp white, and deep black.

To create a cohesive room scheme around it, we recommend using off-white, cool grey, or soft slate on adjacent walls and woodwork. These neutral backdrops allow the yellow and primary tones in the graffiti to pop cleanly without overwhelming the room. If you prefer a moodier, more dramatic aesthetic, pairing the mural with charcoal grey or near-black painted walls creates a striking backdrop that highlights the bright dripping paint elements.
