Wallpaper - Once in a Lifetime

Our Once in a Lifetime wallpaper, created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings an airy, expressive atmosphere to the wall through an abstract painted composition. Set against a soft white and cream backdrop, the artwork balances delicate brushstrokes of pale blue, blush pink and warm beige with subtle accents of grey and deep blue that lend depth and layered movement to the surface. What we particularly appreciate is how the painterly marks float effortlessly across the light base without feeling heavy or crowded. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on generous breathing room and gentle transitions, we see this working particularly well across a wider living room wall or in a dedicated meditation room where its calm, open character can unfold. The light palette and fluid movement make our design well suited to main feature walls, such as behind a low-backed sofa or framing an open seating area, without dominating the surrounding interior. In spaces with good natural daylight, the delicate tonal contrasts between the soft blues, pinks and beige undertones become especially distinct, while under warmer evening lamplight the cream base helps the room feel cosy and settled.

Styling it

To let the abstract brushwork stand out, we would keep the surrounding decor relatively understated and contemporary. Low-profile furniture with clean, minimalist lines allows the visual rhythm of the artwork to carry the room. Pieces in warm, light woods or smooth painted finishes complement the natural warmth of the beige and cream tones in the pattern. You can balance the layered paint aesthetic by introducing soft, unpatterned fabrics on seating and cushions, avoiding competing geometric prints so the wall mural remains the artistic focal point.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a light palette of soft white and cream, accented with delicate brushwork in pale blue, blush pink, warm beige, and subtle touches of grey and deep blue. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, skirting boards or architectural woodwork, warm off-whites, gentle stone tones or pale greys create a seamless, harmonious backdrop. If you want to introduce a touch of grounding contrast through furniture or larger textiles, picking up on the deeper blue or muted slate grey from the brushstrokes works beautifully.
