Wallpaper - Makeover IV

Our Makeover IV wallpaper brings together bold abstract forms and sharp graphic contrast, designed by artist Chris Paschke. Sweeping, curved black painted shapes dominate the composition against a clean white backdrop, intersected by a diagonal golden branch-like element with a rough, textured look and natural knot detail. This dynamic interplay between smooth matte-looking black geometry, organic gold detailing, and open negative space creates a striking focal point for modern interiors. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because of its sweeping diagonal movement and strong visual scale, we see this design working especially well as a focal point on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a contemporary living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the full height of the black arches and branching gold element display without distraction. It also makes a compelling backdrop in a dedicated home office, where the clean white ground keeps the room feeling open while the bold brushwork introduces artistic depth.

For spaces with generous natural light, the crisp boundary between the deep black forms and the bright background creates a clear, graphic rhythm throughout the day. If you are working with a room that has lower ceilings or smaller proportions, treating a single accent wall with this mural wallpaper anchors the area without overwhelming the surrounding architecture.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the bold graphic weight of the wallpaper by pairing it with streamlined, minimalist furniture that has clean lines. Low-slung seating in tailored charcoal, warm taupe, or off-white upholstery allows the sweeping forms on the wall to remain the primary visual statement.

To complement the earthy gold and umber tones in the branch detail, incorporate accents in warm woods, such as walnut or smoked oak, alongside brushed brass or matte black hardware. Keeping nearby decorative objects sculptural and restrained ensures the room feels cohesive, modern, and uncluttered.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a focused palette of dense black, crisp white, and earthy umber gold.

When choosing colors for adjoining surfaces, we suggest working with soft warm whites or pale stone greys on adjacent painted walls to echo the open background. For trim, doors, or built-in cabinetry, a deep charcoal or soft black creates a tailored, frame-like effect that picks up the dark painted motifs. If you want to introduce additional warmth, subtle earth tones like ochre, camel, or muted olive in cushions and throws tie naturally into the golden detailing.
