Wallpaper - What If

Our What If wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly composition into the room through a balance of soft tones and grounding depth. Created in collaboration with artist Jocelyn Elizabeth, the design features expressive, raw brushstrokes where light pink, sky blue, and aquamarine pastel tones drift across the upper portion of the wall. Towards the bottom, the artwork transitions into deep blue and black with bold, wave-like visual textures, centered around a warm patch of peach that balances the overall flow. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers give you an expansive, art-led wall without overwhelming the surrounding space.

In the room

Because the visual weight of this wallpaper is concentrated in the lower half and opens up into airy pastels above, it works naturally in a living room behind a low sofa or credenza. The lighter upper half keeps the wall feeling open and tall, while the darker foundation grounds the seating area. We also see this working especially well in a home art studio or a dedicated meditation space, where the painterly movement and balanced color distribution provide visual interest across a wider, uninterrupted accent wall. In rooms that receive good natural daylight, the gentle shifts between sky blue, soft pink, and peach become more distinct, while softer artificial lighting in the evening brings out the deeper contrast in the lower blues.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and quiet. Modern silhouettes in low-profile seating help maintain the vertical rhythm of the mural, allowing the transition from deep blues to pale pastels to unfold naturally. For materials, warm pale wood tones like ash or natural white oak complement the central peach accent, while matte black accents or clean metal framing can echo the deep grounding tones at the base of the design.

Color combinations

Within the wallpaper itself, you will find sky blue, aquamarine, pale pink, soft peach, deep navy blue, and black. When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or nearby furniture, we like pulling from the lighter end of the palette with soft off-white, muted warm blush, or a pale sky blue. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, pairing the design with a deep navy or charcoal on adjoining walls connects directly to the lower brushwork and creates a cohesive, modern atmosphere.
