Wallpaper - Commotion

Our Commotion wallpaper, designed by Cheryl Warrick, brings an expressive rhythm into the home through layered shapes, organic forms, and painted collage elements. Dominated by deep burgundy and warm red tones alongside softer background accents, the composition balances dynamic movement with artistic structure. The varying scale of the painterly marks gives the surface a lively visual texture that instantly transforms a room. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is custom-made to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a spacious living room or dining area, we like placing this design on a main feature wall where the layered collage has ample space to unfold. The rich interplay of dark burgundy and lighter shapes provides enough visual interest to anchor an entire seating arrangement or dining set. For smaller residential areas like an entryway, study, or home office, the energetic movement introduces personality without requiring heavy decorative clutter. In a bedroom or guest room, we recommend using it behind the bedhead, allowing the artwork to serve as a warm, focal backdrop while keeping adjacent walls simpler.

Styling it

Because the motif carries significant visual movement, we suggest balancing the room with furniture that features clean, mid-century modern lines or contemporary silhouettes. Pieces in warm woods such as walnut or stained oak naturally complement the deep burgundy palette without competing for attention. To let the artwork remain the primary focus, keep larger upholstery in understated neutral tones, introducing textural contrast through simple woven fabrics rather than competing prints.

Colour combinations

The design centres around rich shades of red and deep burgundy, balanced by warm, muted lighter tones in the collage layers. When choosing paint for surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted taupe shades keep the space feeling open and balanced. For a bolder, enveloping aesthetic, you could pull the deep burgundy into neighbouring joinery or door frames, creating a unified architectural palette.
