Wallpaper - About Face II White

Created by Moira Hershey, our About Face II White wallpaper brings a graphic, contemporary presence to the wall through a single continuous black ink line on a porcelain white background. The motif captures an abstract human face, where an eye, nose, lips, and ear emerge from one fluid, confident stroke. The generous negative space around the drawing lets the artwork breathe, keeping the visual contrast sharp yet wonderfully uncluttered. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and is entirely PVC-free.

In the room

Because of its clean black-and-white contrast and large-scale line drawing, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, study, or home art studio. In an open living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa gives the artwork room to extend upward without being cut off by tall furniture. In a study or home workspace, the graphic composition creates an artistic focal point behind a desk without cluttering the visual field during the workday. If your room has generous natural daylight, the porcelain white backdrop stays crisp, while softer evening lamps cast a warm glow that makes the bold ink line stand out distinctly.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper carry the decorative focus of the room and keeping the surrounding furniture clean and understated.

• Low-profile furniture in contemporary or mid-century silhouettes works especially well here, as horizontal lines ground the wall without competing with the fluid vertical motion of the face.
• Matte black metal hardware or architectural lighting pieces naturally echo the ink line in the motif, creating a cohesive dialogue across the room.
• Natural, lighter wood surfaces such as ash or pale oak introduce warmth against the monochrome wall, preventing the space from feeling too stark or clinical.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around a stark, high-contrast palette of solid black ink and a porcelain white base. When building a color scheme around it, we like pairing it with soft warm whites or chalky off-whites on adjacent walls to maintain an airy, open feel. For furniture and textiles, muted neutrals like oatmeal, warm taupe, and charcoal keep the room grounded, while deep forest green, terracotta, or mustard accents add intentional touches of color without competing with the artwork.
