Wallpaper - Teal and Ink II

Our Teal and Ink II wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, brings dynamic abstract energy to the wall through sweeping gestural forms and painterly ink washes. Bold charcoal gray and deep black brushstrokes collide with bright teal and sky blue splatters, balanced by soft, diluted gray washes that fade into a crisp white background. The composition plays with visual contrast, pairing heavy, saturated pigment with delicate, watery edges and fine droplets. Like all Wallism wall murals, this design is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, offering an expressive, gallery-inspired focal point for modern interiors.

In the room

Because the composition relies on dramatic negative space and a striking central form, we love this design as a feature wall in a contemporary living room, study, or bedroom. Positioning the mural behind a low sofa or a minimalist bed frame allows the vertical motion of the ink wash to rise uninterrupted toward the ceiling. In a home office or creative studio, the expressive brushwork adds artistic focus without overwhelming the room, especially when balanced by clean architectural lines. For smaller spaces like an entryway or powder room, installing the pattern across a single prominent wall creates an immediate, gallery-like impact as soon as you step inside.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the visual center of gravity, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean, low-profile silhouettes. Streamlined contemporary pieces in matte black metal or smooth painted finishes echo the ink tones while keeping the overall layout grounded and uncluttered.

In terms of materials, smooth surfaces such as glass, polished concrete, or dark stone complement the fluid character of the wash. If you want to introduce warmth, consider incorporating mid-tone natural woods, which provide an organic grounding element against the stark white and charcoal backdrop.

Color combinations

The design itself centers on deep charcoal gray, black, translucent watery grays, and vivid pops of bright blue and teal set over an off-white ground.

When planning the surrounding room, crisp white or pale cool gray on adjacent walls helps extend the mural's open background, allowing the bold forms to breathe. For a moodier, high-contrast scheme, bringing charcoal or soft graphite onto adjacent trim and doors frames the artwork dramatically. You can also pick up subtle accents of cerulean, slate blue, or soft cyan through decorative objects, throw pillows, or ceramics to quietly echo the vibrant pigment splatters.
