Alison Johnson is a contemporary wallpaper designer whose work brings emotion, atmosphere and a strong sense of movement into modern interiors, using expressive mark making and richly layered textures. Painting instinctively, she allows each design to evolve organically, guided by intuition rather than direct observation, which gives her wallpaper a fluid, almost living quality on the wall.

Originally from Yorkshire, Alison draws lasting inspiration from the region’s vast moorlands and ever changing skies, translating these landscapes into abstract forms that feel expansive and immersive. Her background as a former nurse also plays a key role, shaping work that is deeply connected to human emotion and focused on capturing fleeting feelings as powerful, tactile visual statements suited to contemporary spaces.

4. Modern geometric murals by Nicola Evans

This global perspective gives her wallpaper designs a sense of movement and exploration, making them ideal for contemporary interiors that favour expressive, statement making design.
