Wallpaper - Acapulco I

Our Acapulco I wallpaper brings a layered, painterly rhythm to the wall through soft vertical sweeps of pastel colour. Created by Mercedes Lopez Charro, the design combines overlapping strokes of aquamarine blue, dusty pink, lavender, pale yellow, and soft green against a painted canvas-textured background. The semi-translucent washes create depth and gentle movement without overpowering a space. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the vertical brushstrokes draw the eye upward, we find this design works exceptionally well in rooms where you want to emphasise ceiling height or create a sense of airiness. In a bedroom, it makes a serene backdrop behind a bed frame, bringing subtle colour that remains soft throughout the day. In a living room or dining room, Acapulco I functions beautifully on an expansive feature wall where the full gradient of overlapping strokes can unfold naturally. The gentle palette also suits quieter private spaces such as a home office, dressing room, or nursery, where the flowing strokes add an artistic, modern mood without visual clutter.

Styling it

To let the fluid brushwork take centre stage, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and understated. Contemporary or mid-century silhouettes in light woods or painted finishes balance the abstract shapes effortlessly.

When choosing accents, pulling out one or two tones from the motif creates natural harmony across the room. Soft textiles in washed cotton or wool complement the painterly texture of the print, while simple ceramic details or understated metal fixtures keep the overall aesthetic relaxed and modern.

Colour combinations

The design itself balances cool aquamarine blues and gentle teals with warm pastel pinks, pale lavender, and creamy undertones.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we particularly like pairing this wallpaper with soft off-whites, pale stone, or muted chalky neutrals to maintain an open and luminous atmosphere. If you prefer a richer, more grounded look, introducing deeper navy, dusty rose, or sea-glass greens in upholstery and accessories picks up the varying intensities within the brushstrokes while anchoring the room.
