Wallpaper - I Did My Best

Our I Did My Best wallpaper brings together bold, layered brushstrokes with the expressive visual character of an oil painting. Rich sweeps of pink, blue, yellow, green, and orange overlap across the surface, creating fluid, irregular forms that give the composition a lively sense of movement. The balance between warm ochres, sunny yellows, and cooler sky tones creates an energetic rhythm across the wall. Printed made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an authentic painterly mood into contemporary spaces.

In the room

Because the brushstrokes are large and fluid, we like giving this design an open wall where the full sweep of the painted gestures can be appreciated. In a creative home art studio or a playful hobby room, it functions naturally as a dynamic focal point that energizes the whole setting.

In a playroom or teenage room, the colorful forms create a cheerful backdrop that feels expressive without requiring complex styling around it. For larger rooms, we suggest placing the mural on a feature wall behind a low sofa or a desk so the lively shapes remain visible above furniture height.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painterly forms take center stage, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, uncomplicated silhouettes. Painted white or light-toned pieces keep the room feeling bright and open, while mid-century or contemporary furniture with simple geometry provides a grounding contrast to the freeform brushwork.

For accents, pick out one or two secondary shades from the artwork, such as cobalt blue or warm terracotta, across cushions or ceramic desk accessories. Keeping surrounding textiles mostly solid helps maintain visual clarity and prevents the room from feeling overly busy.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced mix of vibrant pink, sunny yellow, cobalt and sky blue, grassy green, and warm orange over soft neutral underlayers.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls and trim, clean warm whites or soft cream provide a fresh frame that highlights the richness of the brushstrokes. If you want a more cocooning feel, a muted sage green or a pale dusty blue pulled directly from the background layers creates a cohesive transition throughout the space.
