Wallpaper - Inked Partnership

Created by Thomas Winz, our Inked Partnership wallpaper captures a graphic moment of contrast and collaboration. Set against a textured, stucco-like white background, the wide horizontal composition focuses on two clasping hands in a firm handshake: one arm clad in a tailored black suit sleeve with a crisp white cuff, the other boldly decorated in detailed tattoo work with shades of red, teal, black, and star motifs. This design brings an expressive, contemporary dynamic to modern interiors, working beautifully across focal walls where its narrative quality can take center stage. Like all our wall murals, it is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal orientation and central focal point of the handshake, we find this design works exceptionally well on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full expanse of the composition can be appreciated. In a dedicated home office or study, positioning the mural along the main wall behind a desk or across from the doorway establishes an immediate, confident identity for the space. The generous white background provides breathing room around the central motif, which helps prevent the graphic elements from feeling crowded in smaller rooms or compact workspaces.

Styling it

The clear contrast between formal tailoring and illustrative body art lends itself well to modern and industrial interior directions. To balance the visual weight of the wallpaper, we would pair it with clean-lined furniture, such as a matte black metal desk, minimalist shelving, or structured contemporary seating. Surrounding materials with understated finishes, like warm natural timber or painted grey surfaces, allow the rich ink tones and sharp lines of the artwork to stand out without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a neutral off-white textured backdrop, paired with deep solid black, crisp white, and the vibrant red, teal, and charcoal tones of the tattoo artwork. When decorating around this design, we suggest drawing on the neutral ground with soft white or cool grey painted walls for a cohesive atmosphere. Alternatively, echoing the deep black of the suit sleeve through dark window frames, charcoal cabinetry, or dark trim creates a sharp, tailored frame around the entire installation.
