Wallpaper - April Gray III

Our April Gray III wallpaper by Mike Schick presents a graphic, mid-century-inspired geometric abstract composition structured around bold intersecting curves, arcs, and linear divisions. Soft cream, pale biscuit, and warm bone tones are grounded by varying shades of slate, stone grey, and charcoal, contrasted against crisp off-white sections and accented by subtle flashes of teal and crimson along fine divider lines. Visible painted brushwork adds visual texture and depth across the large geometric blocks. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, this design brings an architectural, gallery-calibre presence to modern interiors.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a main feature wall where its sweeping curves and broad geometric planes can be appreciated in full. In a contemporary living room, dining area, or open-plan space, placing it on a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the balance between dark charcoal and light neutral shapes to anchor the entire room.

Because the scale of the abstract forms is substantial, the design holds its own effortlessly behind lower furniture like a credenza, sideboard, or low-slung sofa without feeling fragmented. In a home office or creative studio, the clear structural lines provide an orderly yet artistic backdrop that introduces visual rhythm without clutter.

Styling it

To complement the painterly abstract character of this design, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and architectural. Low-profile pieces with sculptural silhouettes echo the curved geometry of the artwork without competing with it.

Matte black accents or brushed metal details connect naturally with the darker slate blocks and delicate dividing lines in the motif. For upholstery and soft furnishings, smooth neutral textiles in off-white, oat, or charcoal allow the wall mural to serve as the visual focal point while maintaining a cohesive, sophisticated atmosphere.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette centres on a balanced interplay of warm biscuit, sand, cool stone grey, slate, and charcoal, elevated by thin accents of bright teal and fine red.

When choosing adjacent wall colours, soft off-white or light warm grey paint creates a natural extension of the lighter segments, keeping the room open and airy. For a moodier, more tailored feel in a study or dining area, pulling the deep charcoal from the design onto surrounding woodwork, architectural trim, or cabinetry creates an intentional, cohesive scheme.
