Wallpaper - Artifact II Orange

Our Artifact II Orange wallpaper, created by Mike Schick, brings together bold geometric forms and expressive painterly brushwork. A sweeping arc of deep rust orange anchors the composition, meeting a clean right angle against an off-white and soft grey background. The visual texture of oil paint strokes gives the minimalist structure a tactile, artistic presence that feels deliberate and grounded. Produced as a made-to-measure mural wallpaper, this PVC-free design is printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that complements its painted aesthetic.

In the room

In a living room, this design works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full curve and balance of the abstract shapes have space to breathe. The large scale of the orange geometry creates an immediate focal point, so we would place it behind a low-profile sofa or along a main feature wall rather than segmenting it across smaller, broken-up surfaces. In a contemporary home office, the clean architectural lines and warm earthy tones bring focus and visual interest without feeling cluttered. Because the motif relies on a distinct balance between empty space and bold color, keeping taller shelving and high furniture away from the centre of the wall allows the entire composition to read clearly.

Styling it

We recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively quiet to let the graphic shapes take lead in the space. Pieces with simple silhouettes, such as a low-slung credenza or minimalist seating in neutral upholstery, allow the artwork to command attention without visual competition.

Warm wood tones like walnut or mid-toned oak sit comfortably alongside the deep rust orange, reinforcing the earthy warmth of the palette. For textiles, unpatterned fabrics in warm linen, stone, or muted off-white help maintain a calm, gallery-like balance throughout the rest of the room.

Colour combinations

The design centres on rich rust orange set against neutral off-white and pale grey undertones. When painting surrounding walls, we suggest leaning into soft warm neutrals, chalky whites, or gentle taupes that echo the background tones of the motif. If you want to introduce deeper accent colours through cushions or decorative objects, muted olive, terracotta, or charcoal provide a natural complement to the warmth of the orange without clashing with the artwork.
