Wallpaper - Interlude

Our Interlude wallpaper, created by artist Mike Schick, brings a thoughtful abstract composition to the wall through layered brushwork and balanced negative space. The design centres around deep sapphire and indigo blocks that transition into softer lavender, pale sky blue, and subtle touches of muted rose, all resting against a clean, off-white backdrop. Translucent washes, visible brush marks, and fine linear accents give the artwork an expressive yet tranquil character. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design offers an artistic focal point for contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an asymmetrical cluster of colour balanced by open, light space, we find this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on an accent wall in a living room or a quiet home office. Placing the design behind a sofa or along a main desk wall allows the central blue forms to anchor the space while the lighter background keeps the room feeling open. In spaces with ample natural daylight, the subtle tonal gradations between the sapphire, lavender, and pale blue become particularly clear and nuanced.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest keeping larger furniture pieces relatively simple to allow the painterly forms to stand out. Clean-lined contemporary sofas or desks in neutral upholstery, pale grey, or deep navy complement the artwork without competing with its geometry. For materials, we particularly like pairing the cool palette with natural light wood tones, such as ash or pale oak, to introduce subtle warmth, alongside matte black or dark metal accents that echo the graphic line work within the painting.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette of deep sapphire, navy, soft lavender, icy blue, and faint pastel pink against a chalky off-white base. For surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pairing the mural with soft off-white, light grey, or muted pale blue to maintain an airy atmosphere. If you want a more grounded look, drawing out the deeper sapphire or charcoal tones for secondary elements, such as occasional chairs, cushions, or shelving, creates a cohesive and balanced interior.
