Wallpaper - Balance Beam II

Our Balance Beam II wallpaper brings together bold geometric forms and expressive, sweeping line work in a balanced abstract composition. Created by artist Mike Schick, the design anchors itself around a solid brick red rectangle layered with grey and textured black shapes, set against a quiet backdrop of white and soft neutral tones. Dynamic curved black lines cut across the structured geometry, giving the visual rhythm a sense of movement and energy. Printed to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and easy to integrate into your home.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well as a focal point in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the composition balances large solid colour blocks with expansive negative space and sweeping lines, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the full geometric interaction can be appreciated without being heavily broken up by tall storage units. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a lower-profile sofa lets the strong horizontal and vertical blocks anchor the seating area. For a home office or study, the structured yet fluid character adds visual depth behind a desk without cluttering the room.

Styling it

When styling a room around our Balance Beam II design, we like pairing it with clean-lined furniture that echoes its retro and modernist influences.

• Choose furniture with slim profiles and geometric clarity, such as low-slung credenzas or tubular metal-framed armchairs, to complement the architectural shapes in the print.
• Bring in warm, natural wood tones like mid-toned oak or walnut to balance the cool greys and stark black lines of the motif.
• Keep surrounding accessories curated and minimal, allowing the bold shapes and painted-looking brushstrokes on the wall to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is defined by its confident contrast: a warm, earthy brick red set against neutral off-white, cool grey, and deep black. To build a cohesive colour scheme, we suggest pulling the soft neutral from the background onto adjacent painted walls and woodwork to maintain an airy, open feel. For upholstery and larger textiles, charcoal, slate grey, or muted oatmeal provide an understated backdrop that lets the brick red block stand out naturally.
