Abstract Wallpaper for Living Rooms
Abstract wallpaper brings the energy of contemporary art to a whole wall – brushstrokes, organic shapes and painterly washes.
The living room is where most people start with wallpaper. A feature wall behind the sofa or across the chimney breast gives an instant focal point without overwhelming the space.
Our edit of 49 original designs includes brushstroke, line & dot, organic shapes, watercolour wash. Highlights from the edit include Baxter Line & Dot, Kerrigan Watercolour Wash, Ambrose Watercolour Wash.
Shown: Baxter Line & Dot Wallpaper in Saffron Spice.
