Wallpaper - Charcoal Trace II

Our Charcoal Trace II wallpaper by June Erica Vess brings together bold abstract brushwork, soft neutral layering, and gestural charcoal lines. A deep charcoal and slate blue form anchors the lower composition, balanced by broad swathes of warm beige, cream, sand, and subtle earthy brown accents. What we particularly like is the dynamic balance between dry-brushed textures, fluid washes, and fine sketchy marks, creating an open, painterly feel that gives walls distinct artistic presence without feeling overwhelming. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love seeing Charcoal Trace II across a main living room or bedroom accent wall where the full scale of the expressive composition can unfold. Because the primary dark charcoal mass sits in the lower portion while the upper area remains light and airy, it naturally anchors low-profile furniture like a tailored sofa or an upholstered platform bed. In an open dining area or a dedicated home office, giving this design an uninterrupted wall creates an immediate focal point that grounds the entire space while keeping the atmosphere light and balanced.

Styling it

To complement the painterly movement of this wallpaper, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary. Low-slung silhouettes in soft linen, warm oat, or charcoal upholstery echo the tones of the design without competing with the abstract forms. A touch of dark walnut or smoked wood furniture harmonizes beautifully with the deep charcoal accents, while matte black light fixtures or minimal bronze hardware help draw out the subtle line work.

Color combinations

The artwork features a considered palette of deep charcoal, ink blue, warm sand, soft ivory, and raw umber. When selecting adjacent paint colors and textiles, warm off-white, light greige, or soft stone on neighboring walls will let the mural stand out seamlessly. For a more grounded interior, accenting surrounding upholstery or drapery with deep navy, washed charcoal, or rich chestnut brown ties directly into the deepest tones of the brushwork.
