Wallpaper - Aurora

Our Aurora wallpaper by Mike Schick brings an expressive burst of abstract color to the wall through layered watercolor washes and fluid brushwork. What we particularly like about this design is the interplay between the crisp off-white background and the soft bleed of cobalt blue, turquoise, magenta, and sunny yellow. The central composition creates a striking focal point with plenty of breathing room around the edges, giving it an airy, contemporary presence. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because the composition centers around a bold, abstract color wash with generous negative space, we see this design working beautifully on a main feature wall where its full shape can be appreciated. In a creative space such as a home art studio, it introduces energy and color without overwhelming the entire room. It is also well suited to a vibrant teenage room or a bright playroom, where the playful mix of tones sets an upbeat, artistic mood. Placing this mural wallpaper on an uninterrupted wall opposite natural window light allows the delicate gradients and translucent color transitions to reveal their full depth.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the clear centerpiece of the room, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture in neutral or painted finishes. White, light birch, or pale blonde wood keeps the atmosphere light and fresh, allowing the vibrant watercolor tones to stand out cleanly. For textiles, simple neutral weaves in off-white or soft grey provide quiet contrast against the expressive paint washes. If you want to lean into an eclectic interior style, you can echo one of the secondary shades from the artwork, such as turquoise or warm coral, through small accent cushions or desk accessories.

Colour combinations

The artwork itself features a rich blend of saturated primary and secondary hues, transitioning from vivid blue and cool turquoise down into coral pink and warm yellow against a clean, pale background. When choosing paint colors for surrounding walls, soft warm whites or muted pale greys create a harmonious, gallery-like setting that frames the mural naturally. For a bolder, color-blocked room scheme, you can pull the warm sunny yellow or deep cobalt blue onto adjacent architectural trim, baseboards, or a painted desk to tie the entire room palette together.
