Wallpaper - Makeover IV

Our Makeover IV wallpaper brings together bold, sweeping black forms and a textured diagonal gold-toned element set against an open white backdrop. Designed by Chris Paschke, this abstract composition balances large gestural shapes with fine, branch-like visual detailing and warm umber undertones. The interplay between deep, matte darks and radiant metallic-looking accents gives the mural wallpapers in this series a distinct artistic presence. Made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a striking focal point in modern living spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a primary living room wall or in a dedicated home office where the full scale of the composition can be appreciated from a distance. Because the artwork relies on generous white space around the darker, sweeping forms, it gives the wall an open, gallery-like feel rather than overwhelming the room. In a larger living room, placing this mural on an uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa or credenza allows the dramatic diagonal movement to lead the eye across the space. For a study or home workspace, it introduces strong graphic character without feeling visually cluttered.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the artwork's bold geometry, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, architectural silhouettes and relatively low visual weight.

• Choose seating and tables with slender profiles in matte black or dark bronze metal to echo the painted charcoal forms in the motif.
• Introduce natural finishes such as warm walnut, smoked ash, or smooth plaster to soften the graphic contrast and highlight the warm, earthy umber tones.
• Keep surrounding accessories curated and sculptural, allowing the negative space on the wall to remain a central feature of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in deep black, crisp off-white, and warm earthy browns, highlighted by shimmering gold and umber accents. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing on these distinct tones across your surrounding surfaces:

On adjacent walls, a soft chalky white or muted warm alabaster lets the wallpaper stand out naturally while maintaining an airy, modern atmosphere. If you prefer a moodier aesthetic, a rich charcoal or deep espresso accent paint on nearby woodwork creates a dramatic, enveloping environment. For upholstery and soft furnishings, warm neutrals like flax, camel, or deep ochre pick up on the gold-toned detailing and add subtle warmth to the space.
