The Story Behind - Earthy Pastels
As beautifully described by Architectural Digest, “Quite Expressive Without Being Shouty,” our new wall mural collection is all about subtle intrigue. It’s not about being loud, but about being lasting. The color palette moves within a muted yet lively range of earthy pastels. From dusty blue and olive green to pale yellow, soft pink, warm brown, and deep black. These tones are subtle yet powerful, bringing both warmth and natural elegance, while the graphic elements within the wall murals add definition and clarity to any space.
Inspiration
When creating this collection we drew inspiration from the world around us. A mix of interior design, fashion and art. It was within this intersection that we discovered the balance we were searching for. In interior design, we were drawn to spaces that embrace contrast. From fashion, we borrowed the idea of layering oversized, effortless silhouettes in muted tones and the quiet confidence of pieces that speak softly but leave an impression. And in art, we found freedom in abstract forms, hand-painted gestures, and organic compositions that feel deeply personal. These influences come together in Earthy Pastels to create wall murals that feel honest and expressive.
The designs
Each design in this collection is rooted in a distinct artistic technique, celebrating the beauty of hand-crafted expression and material authenticity. We love experimenting with different techniques to achieve unique expressions in our wall mural designs. From sculpted clay and pastel sketching to detailed acrylic painting. The collection brings together diverse creative processes, each one carefully translated into large-scale wall murals that feel both tactile and timeless. By blending traditional methods with a contemporary design perspective, we’ve created wall murals that bring depth, character, and a sense of artistry into every space.
Painted by hand using acrylic paint, our Iris Garden blends botanical precision with artistic expression. The large, blooming branches were composed with brushwork, giving the florals a sense of organic growth and movement. The layered acrylic technique adds subtle depth and the illusion of dimensional texture, as if the branches are gently emerging from the wall itself.
Our Clay Marble is crafted using traditional clay artistry, which captures the fluid movement of hand-worked clay as it swirls into organic, marbled formations. The design was created by hand by sculpting and shaping clay, allowing the material’s texture and flow to lead the process.
In this collection, zebra stripes flirt with abstract florals and painterly marks. It’s not about creating harmony through matching but the tension that brings energy. Just as a well-styled outfit might pair a structured coat with a delicate dress, these wall murals explore the unexpected, the sharpness of graphic animal prints softened by organic shapes and muted tones within the wall murals. This contrast is intuitive, not forced. It adds layers of visual interest, turning walls into curated, expressive backdrops that never feel static.
Created with soft pastel crayons were used to hand-draw this design directly on paper, allowing each line and curve to retain the delicate, powdery texture unique to the medium. The Abstract Pastels wall mural brings together fluid shapes and playful composition.
Build the room around its tactile elegance by choosing furniture and decor that echo its natural and sculptural qualities. Opt for wooden furniture with distinctive, sculptural lines, preferably in warm tones that contrast softly with the pastel or marbled background. Elements in glass, stone, or clear acrylic add layers of texture while maintaining a sense of openness and balance. For bathrooms, elevate the space with a statement ceiling mural paired with large plants and contrast cool surfaces like green marble with warmer accents like walnut wood to create a dynamic, spa-like atmosphere.
Every wall mural in the Earthy Pastels collection carries the unmistakable traces of the human hand and process behind it. With a subtle yet powerful color palette with graphic and organic elements, the wall murals become Quite Expressive Without Being Shouty. Whether in a living room, a bathroom, or a hallway, Earthy Pastels brings artful clarity and lasting calm to the everyday.
