Wallpaper - Tangerine Crush

Our Tangerine Crush wallpaper brings a bold abstract composition to the wall, defined by large, expressive shapes in saturated orange and warm yellow. Designed in collaboration with artist Julia Purinton, the artwork has the painterly character of layered oil paint, with softer blended edges set against brisk accents of blue, red, and black. The visual texture shifts across the surface, giving the impression of layered brushwork and spontaneous movement. Printed as custom made wall murals, each order is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that complements the painterly style.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall behind a low sofa or along a main seating wall. Because the shapes are broad and fluid, giving the mural wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the full scale of the composition breathe. The high visual energy of the design also suits a creative home office, studio, or study where warm color can define the character of the space without requiring a room full of decorative accessories. For an open-plan layout, using the design on a single feature wall helps anchor a dining or lounging zone, creating a clear focal point while allowing the surrounding walls to remain quiet.

Styling it

Because Tangerine Crush is vibrant and expressive, we like pairing it with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Modern or mid-century pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or medium oak, echo the warmth of the orange and yellow fields without competing with the abstract forms. Keeping major upholstery in neutral fabrics like cream, sand, or deep charcoal allows the wall mural to remain the central feature of the room. To connect the rest of the space to the wall, you might introduce a small accent piece, like a sculptural ceramic lamp or a single cushion, that borrows from the blue or black notes in the painting.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers on dark orange, golden yellow, and warm amber tones, punctuated by small, crisp details in black, red, and blue. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, off-white, warm cream, or soft pale ochre keep the room bright and let the mural stand out. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping palette, pairing the wallpaper with deep charcoal or slate gray on baseboards and adjacent walls creates striking contrast against the warm, sunlit oranges.
