Wallpaper - Costa del Sol II

Our Costa del Sol II wallpaper, designed by Michael Mullan, brings together bold geometric forms and painterly warmth in an expressive abstract composition. A sweeping red curve and an upright saffron-orange block ground the left side of the artwork, balanced by a soft white oval floating against a warm beige center. Toward the right, earthy brown and burnt orange tones converge through visible brushwork and weathered visual texture, giving the whole piece a rich, hand-painted look. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper introduces a grounded artistic focus to any interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal wall in a living room, home office, or quiet study where its large abstract forms have space to be appreciated. Because the composition moves horizontally from strong color blocks on the left into layered, painterly tones on the right, giving it a wider uninterrupted wall allows the full visual narrative to unfold naturally. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the upper arch and warm center carry the eye upward without competing with seating. In a home office or study, the warm earthy palette creates a calm, focused backdrop behind a desk setup. The design also holds its own in rooms with generous natural daylight, where the subtle tonal shifts between saffron, terracotta red, and beige become especially distinct.

Styling it

The organic modern aesthetic of Costa del Sol II pairs naturally with furniture that shares its appreciation for clean lines and warm materiality. We would lean toward low-slung credenzas, clean-lined desks, or upholstered seating in oatmeal, cream, or charcoal to ground the room without fighting the mural's geometry.

When choosing accents, matte black metal hardware or blackened steel lighting fixtures offer a crisp, modern counterpoint to the soft curves in the artwork. Alternatively, warm unlacquered brass accents echo the saffron tones nicely. To keep the focus on the wallpaper's broad color planes, we recommend keeping surrounding decor sculptural and relatively minimal rather than heavily patterned.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a palette of saffron orange, deep red, warm beige, soft off-white, and earthy brown. When planning surrounding wall colors and trim, pulling a warm off-white or soft biscuit tone directly from the mural's central ground creates a seamless transition across adjacent surfaces.

For a moodier, more enveloping space, you can echo the deeper notes with rich terracotta, warm cognac, or espresso accents on doors, shelving, or accent seating. If you prefer a crisp, high-contrast interior, pairing the warm beige and saffron backdrop with sharp charcoal or matte black window trim and baseboards frames the mural beautifully.
