Wallpaper - April Gray II

Our April Gray II wallpaper, created in collaboration with Mike Schick, brings together abstract geometric arcs and intersecting linear planes in a calm, balanced composition. Broad circular curves in soft off-white, pale cream, and cool grey meet deeper charcoal planes, separated by fine structural lines and subtle hints of warm ochre and purple along the edges. The visual texture has a painterly, layered appearance with visible brushwork across the larger fields of colour. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a refined modern focal point on an accent wall.

In the room

Because of the generous scale of the curves and sweeping geometric divisions, we like giving this design an uninterrupted wall where the full composition has space to breathe. In a living room behind a low sofa or across a dining room wall, the large-scale segments create an architectural presence without overwhelming the space. The balanced interplay between lighter cream tones and grounded charcoal grey works especially well in rooms with soft, diffused daylight, which lets the subtle brushstroke textures and fine pencil-like dividing lines show their detail.

Styling it

The clean geometry and painterly character of this wallpaper pair naturally with contemporary, minimalist, or mid-century modern interiors. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively low-profile to let the curving lines anchor the room.

• Pair with warm wood furniture, such as natural oak or walnut, to balance the cooler slate and grey segments.
• Choose upholstered seating in textured cream, oatmeal, or charcoal to mirror the tonal shifts within the artwork.
• Introduce understated black metal accents or matte ceramic pieces that echo the graphic line work without competing with the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on soft off-white, light warm cream, slate grey, and deep charcoal, with fine boundary accents of muted ochre and soft violet. On adjacent walls, we suggest matching the background with an understated warm off-white or a very pale stone grey. If you prefer more depth, pulling the dark charcoal tone into painted woodwork, window frames, or cabinetry creates a grounded and cohesive frame around the wallpaper.
