Wallpaper - Somersault Gray

Our Somersault Gray wallpaper, created by Mike Schick, brings an expressive abstract composition to the wall with broad swathes of coral pink and muted grey set against a warm white background. Bold, hand-painted-looking vertical lines in dark charcoal run through the composition, introducing a rhythmic contrast between soft colour fields and sharp graphic movement. What we particularly enjoy about this design is its playful yet balanced visual energy, making it an engaging focal point in a contemporary home. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, we would give this wall mural a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full scale of the painted forms and sweeping dark strokes can be appreciated without visual competition. The verticality of the lines naturally draws the eye upward, making it especially effective on taller walls or behind a low-profile sofa. It also works beautifully in a creative home studio or dedicated study, where the artistic character can anchor the space while keeping the atmosphere open and light. Because the motif relies on a bright background and confident colour blocking, generous daylight helps bring out the subtle brush textures and tonal shifts between the pink and grey layers.

Styling it

To keep the balance in the room, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features clean, modern silhouettes and modest visual weight. Low credenzas, slim-framed chairs, and tables with open metal or painted frames let the abstract shapes behind them remain visible.

When introducing materials, matte black accents on light fixtures or chair legs create an appealing connection with the dark linear strokes in the artwork. Surrounding textiles in neutral, unpatterned weaves will ground the room without competing with the dynamic energy of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on lively coral pink, softer blush tones, a grounded neutral grey, and stark charcoal-black lines against off-white. For adjacent painted walls, a soft off-white or light warm grey creates a calm transition that allows the vibrant coral areas to stand out naturally. If you want to introduce deeper contrast elsewhere in the room, consider pulling the deep charcoal from the linear details into accent furniture, picture frames, or window hardware.
