Wallpaper - Catalina Cubes

Catalina Cubes is an expressive abstract wallpaper designed by Mike Schick, bringing together bold painterly blocks, sweeping gestural strokes, and vibrant geometric accents. The composition layers vivid teal, warm ochre yellow, burnt orange, and deep black against an open off-white canvas, punctuated by a delicate arch of magenta. Visible brushwork and layered paint textures give the artwork an energetic, modern character that commands attention. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design delivers a striking gallery feel that transforms any space into an inspiring contemporary showcase.

In the room

We see Catalina Cubes working exceptionally well as an accent wall in a contemporary living room or a creative home office. Because the motif is large in scale and full of graphic movement, it thrives on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full abstract composition can breathe. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or along the main wall of a study creates an immediate focal point without overwhelming everyday living.

In rooms with generous natural light, the subtle brush textures and distinct contrasts between the bright ochre, teal, and off-white grounds come to life. For a home office, having such a dynamic mural on the wall facing your desk can set an engaging, thoughtful tone for the working day.

Styling it

Because this design carries significant visual energy, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture that lets the wall mural remain the primary feature of the space. Mid-century modern or contemporary silhouettes with low backs and simple profiles work particularly well here.

To create balance, introduce warm neutral upholstery like cream, oatmeal, or light grey, which echoes the open background of the artwork. If you want to lean into the eclectic, maximalist character of the piece, you can echo the burnt orange or teal in small accent pieces such as a ceramic lamp base, a sculptural vase, or a single patterned cushion.

Colour combinations

Our Catalina Cubes design features a rich palette of bright teal, golden ochre, vibrant orange, deep black, and crisp off-white, accented with a subtle pinkish-magenta curve.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, we recommend staying with soft warm whites, muted greys, or pale stone tones to give the bold colours room to stand out. If you prefer a moodier, more dramatic interior, pulling the deep teal or a charcoal black onto surrounding trim or an adjacent wall creates an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere.
