Wallpaper - Trade Off

Our Trade Off wallpaper brings a bold abstract composition to the wall through large, overlapping geometric planes and visible painterly brushwork. Designed by Pamela Munger, the artwork balances muted green, dusty slate blue, soft lavender, deep burgundy, and warm rust against airy neutral tones. The interplay of defined color blocks and softer transitions gives the motif architectural presence while keeping an organic, painterly rhythm. As with all our wall murals, Trade Off is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see Trade Off working particularly well on a main wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the geometric shapes are arranged across a large visual scale, giving the design an uninterrupted wall allows the balance of color fields and directional brushstrokes to be fully appreciated. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the upper composition of terracotta, slate, and lavender remain visible. In a home office, the grounded earthy tones create an expressive backdrop behind a desk without cluttering the visual field with intricate pattern repeats.

Styling it

When styling around Trade Off, we recommend keeping furniture silhouettes clean and grounded to let the abstract forms lead the room. Contemporary pieces with simple lines, such as a low credenza or minimalist seating, complement the modern structure of the artwork.

For surrounding materials, warm wood tones like walnut or natural oak echo the earthy rust and burgundy areas in the print. To balance the bolder geometric shapes, consider introducing softer woven textiles or matte ceramics in understated neutral shades, creating visual texture without competing with the mural's color blocks.

Color combinations

Trade Off is built around an earthy palette featuring muted army green, slate blue, dusty lavender, deep burgundy, and rust orange, all resting against a backdrop of pale gray and off-white.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, consider pulling out the softer background tones, such as a pale limestone, chalky greige, or soft warm off-white, to keep the space open. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere, drawing out the deeper burgundy or slate blue for adjacent architectural details or accent furniture will create a rich, cohesive connection to the wallpaper.
