Wallpaper - A Place I Dreamed Of

Designed by Jocelyn Elizabeth, our A Place I Dreamed Of wallpaper brings together broad areas of muted green with delicate pastel pink, lavender, soft white, and subtle scribbled blue lines. Layered brushwork and painterly textures create a quiet sense of depth across the surface, giving the impression of an abstract canvas rendered on a wall-sized scale. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while introducing an expressive yet gentle artistic character to your interior.

In the room

Because the composition balances open, airy areas of pastel pink and white with grounded patches of deeper green, this design works especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or dressing room. In a bedroom, placing the mural behind the bed allows the softer top tones to keep the upper room feeling light and expansive, while the rich green blocks anchor the lower portion. We also see this working beautifully across an accent wall in a home office or teenage room, where the painterly details and fine drawn lines provide visual interest at close range without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To let the abstract composition take centre stage, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, contemporary furniture in clean silhouettes. Low-profile seating or light-toned painted pieces help maintain the open, airy feel of the upper palette.

Soft textiles such as washed linen bedding or cotton cushions in blush pink, off-white, or muted sage echo the colours in the wallpaper naturally. Introducing small touches of black metal or brushed brass in light fittings or understated frames adds a crisp geometric contrast to the loose, expressive brushstrokes.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around ballet slipper pink, lavender, chalky white, forest green, and fine strokes of cobalt blue. When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, a soft off-white or very pale blush pink provides a seamless, subtle transition that extends the lightness of the mural.

If you prefer a richer and more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper green from the lower blocks for adjacent skirting boards or painted cabinetry creates a tailored, cohesive look. Muted lilac and pale olive also work well as accent tones in decorative textiles and accessories.
