Wallpaper - Bad Taste

Our Bad Taste wallpaper makes an immediate, expressive statement with its striking red-faced figure biting into a gold coin marked with a dollar sign. Wide, round eyes and bright white teeth give the central character a playful, graphic personality that naturally sparks conversation. The composition surrounds the figure with rich emerald green, deep yellow, and vibrant blue background segments, all set off by bold black outlines and visible, painterly brushwork. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because this is one of our most graphically direct mural wallpapers, we like giving it a clear focal wall where the entire central composition can be seen at once. An art studio, creative home workspace, or open dining area provides an ideal setting for a piece with this much visual energy. The large scale of the character means it works best when not heavily broken up by tall shelving or tall cabinets. In a living space, we would place it on an accent wall behind lower seating or a credenza, allowing the bold emerald backdrop and strong silhouette to command the room without visual obstruction.

Styling it

With a high-contrast, postmodern design like this, we prefer surrounding it with clean, deliberate forms rather than competing visual patterns.

• Ground the room with solid contemporary furniture in matte black or deep stained wood to echo the dark contour lines in the artwork.
• Balance the expressive illustration with smooth, unpatterned surfaces like polished concrete, warm timber flooring, or plain painted cabinetry.
• Introduce lighting with adjustable directional heads or simple geometric pendants so you can highlight the bold color blocks and brushstroke detailing in the evening.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a deep emerald green foundation, accented with vibrant primary blue, golden yellow, bright red, and touches of purple.

When considering surrounding paint colors, pulling the emerald green onto adjacent walls or trim creates a rich, enveloping setting that ties directly into the background of the mural. If you prefer higher contrast around the mural, crisp off-white or soft warm gray walls let the vibrant primary hues stand out sharply. For accent pieces or soft furnishings, deep ochre or cobalt blue will pick up on the secondary geometric color blocks without overwhelming the overall space.
