Wallpaper - Shortcake III

Our Shortcake III wallpaper brings together soft, overlapping ovals with flowing vertical lines to create an expressive abstract composition. Designed by Mercedes Lopez Charro, the motif layers warm carmine red, delicate pink, soft beige, and clean white against an open, light background. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the broad, watercolor-like washes of color and the fluid, hand-drawn linework that threads through each shape. Printed to order on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design gives contemporary interiors an artistic focal point with genuine visual warmth.

In the room

Because the composition relies on large, stacked oval forms, we see this working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full vertical rhythm has room to breathe. In a living room behind a low-profile sofa or in a dining room next to an open seating area, the scale of the shapes creates an inviting, gallery-like presence without feeling crowded. In a bedroom or dressing room, the gentle balance of warm pinks and carmine red adds a soft, enveloping quality to the space. If you are styling a creative home office, placing this design across the main wall behind your desk introduces a graphic, design-led background that stays visually engaging throughout the workday.

Styling it

The curved geometry and 1970s mid-century modern influence make this design easy to coordinate with rounded, sculptural furniture. We would pair the wallpaper with warm wood tones like teak or walnut to pick up the deeper tones of carmine red, or keep things light and airy with blonde woods and clean, modern silhouettes. For seating and textiles, smooth upholstered pieces in warm cream, oatmeal, or muted rose let the mural wallpapers remain the primary focus of the room. Matte ceramics and simple architectural lighting help anchor the artistic character of the wall without competing with its layered shapes.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a palette of deep carmine red, dusty pink, natural beige, and crisp white. To create a seamless, cohesive interior, we suggest painting adjacent walls and trim in a soft, creamy white or a warm pale beige that echoes the lighter tones within the motif. If you want to introduce more depth, accent furniture or large accessories in terracotta, rich burgundy, or warm ochre draw out the richness of the carmine without overwhelming the lighter passages of the composition.
