Wallpaper - Roman Bust II

Our Roman Bust II wallpaper, created by Farida Zaman, presents a striking classical bust in side profile, rendered with bold ink-style line drawing. The composition captures the sculpted hair neatly gathered in a bun, the flowing folds of draped clothing, and a rounded pedestal base set against a clean white backdrop. Executed in charcoal grey line work, this monochrome design brings a graphic yet timeless sensibility to the wall. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in a dedicated home study, library, or reading room where the classical subject matter adds a quiet, scholarly character. Because the illustration uses strong charcoal linework on an open light background, it functions beautifully as a feature wall behind a desk or low shelving. The generous negative space ensures the motif never feels crowded, allowing the profile of the bust to command visual attention without dominating the entire space.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality of the drawing, we suggest pairing this design with tactile, grounded interior elements. Warm wood furniture, such as a walnut or dark oak desk, complements the historic subject while softening the monochrome contrast. For surrounding seating and accessories, textured woven fabrics and ceramic accents introduce physical warmth without competing with the clean lines of the wallpaper.

Colour combinations

The artwork itself relies on a restrained palette of charcoal grey on a clean white background. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend using warm off-white or soft stone grey on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce deeper accent colours through upholstery or painted joinery, muted olive green, slate, or warm terracotta provide an organic contrast that sits comfortably alongside the black-and-white motif.
