Wallpaper - Making Space for Something New Neutral

Our Making Space for Something New Neutral wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Jocelyn Elizabeth, brings an airy, painterly composition to the wall. Built on a soft whitewashed background, the abstract design layers gentle, textured brushstrokes and overlapping collage-like shapes with subtle touches of muted blue, soft pink, and warm earthy tones. The open spacing and restrained contrast give the motif an expressive yet quiet presence, allowing the fine painted details to add depth without dominating the space. Like all of our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want visual interest without heavy visual weight. In a bedroom, it serves as a serene backdrop behind a bed, introducing soft color notes that keep the room feeling open and luminous. In a living room or dining area, we would place this wall mural across a primary uninterrupted wall, giving the gentle sweeps of color and abstract shapes room to breathe across the full expanse.

The light tonal foundation also makes our wallpaper well suited for a dedicated home office or creative studio. Because the contrast remains soft and the composition feels balanced, it works comfortably in smaller rooms just as naturally as across wider open-plan layouts without making the space feel crowded.

Styling it

To complement the abstract, layered character of this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture that shares a light and grounded aesthetic:

• Choose furniture with clean, low profiles and soft curves, which echo the organic, fluid shapes in the artwork rather than creating rigid visual breaks.
• Incorporate warm, light-toned woods such as bleached oak or ash to bring natural warmth that balances the cooler white and soft blue nuances in the print.
• Use matte ceramic accents, light stone, or unglazed pottery nearby to visually connect with the plaster-like, painterly quality of the motif.

Color combinations

The design itself centers around a whitewashed base accented by soft hints of pink, muted blue, and warm earthy beige. To build a cohesive room around our wallpaper, we recommend carrying the soft neutral base onto adjacent walls and trim using warm off-white or pale chalky tones.

For accent pieces, textiles, or upholstery, drawing out the subtle blush pink or muted slate blue creates an understated sense of continuity. If you prefer a more grounded look, introducing deeper earthen neutrals like soft clay or warm taupe in larger furniture pieces will anchor the room while keeping the wallpaper at the center of attention.
