Wallpaper - Free Forms

Created by Nadine Greeff, our Free Forms wallpaper brings fluid, abstract watercolour shapes into a calm and contemporary composition. Smoky grey washes, soft neutral tan, and warm earthy undertones overlap across a clean, textured white background, creating organic circular and curving forms with painterly bleed edges. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between bold abstract scale and delicate tonal transparency. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring an understated artistic presence to any interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a modern living room or a dedicated home office where the open, abstract shapes have space to breathe. Because the forms are large and fluid, placing the design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the overlapping curves and quiet negative spaces to show their full composition. In a living area, it serves as a serene backdrop behind a low sofa or credenza, grounding the space without overwhelming it with busy detail. In a home office or study, the soft smoky palette provides visual interest while maintaining a tranquil, uncluttered atmosphere across the room.

Styling it

The fluid, minimalist character of the motif pairs naturally with contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. We would keep the surrounding furniture low-profile with clean lines, allowing the organic shapes of the wallpaper to provide the room's main visual movement.

Natural materials complement the earthy washes nicely. Light timber pieces in pale oak or ash echo the warmth of the tan tones, while matte black metal accents or dark charcoal details connect with the deeper smoky grey pigments in the painting. Surrounding textiles in textured off-white, raw linen, or unbleached wool maintain a light, considered aesthetic that lets the wall mural remain the visual focal point.

Colour combinations

Our design is built around smoky charcoal greys, soft neutral tans, warm ochre washes, and an off-white base. When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or built-in elements, we recommend working with soft, warm off-whites or subtle greige tones that match the background paper. For a more defined contrast, pulling the deep charcoal grey from the darker wash edges into window frames, skirting boards, or painted shelving creates a sharp, graphic frame around the wallpaper.
