Wallpaper - Catalina Cubes

Designed by Mike Schick, our Catalina Cubes wallpaper brings together bold abstract forms, dynamic brushwork, and an energetic palette. Broad blocks of turquoise, warm ochre yellow, deep orange, and crisp off-white anchor the composition, while energetic black structural lines and a curve of magenta add graphic movement. The motif captures the expressive, layered appearance of an oil painting on canvas, giving the artwork a modern and artistic presence on the wall. Made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, our wall murals are PVC-free with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and lively color blocking, we see Catalina Cubes working especially well as a focal point in a living room or a creative home office. In a larger living space, placing this design on a generous, uninterrupted wall allows the dynamic abstract composition and larger color fields to be appreciated in their entirety. The painterly visual texture and bold contrast hold their own across wider spaces without feeling lost. In a home office or study, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a desk or open shelving creates an engaging, artistic backdrop that defines the work area while keeping the overall room feeling open and light.

Styling it

When styling around Catalina Cubes, we recommend letting the wallpaper take center stage by balancing it with clean-lined furniture and grounded materials. Mid-century modern or contemporary furniture shapes work naturally with the graphic geometry of the artwork. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, such as off-white, warm grey, or charcoal, keeps the seating area calm while highlighting the vivid turquoise and ochre tones on the wall. Natural wood elements, particularly warm walnut or lighter oak, bring warmth that connects with the earthy yellow and orange sections of the motif. To keep the focus on the artwork, decorative accessories can be kept sculptural and minimal, using matte ceramics or simple dark metal accents that echo the black structural brushstrokes.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a vibrant interplay of rich turquoise teal, warm ochre yellow, burnt orange, and deep black, contrasted against airy off-white and soft cream with a distinctive pinkish magenta accent. For surrounding walls and woodwork, a soft warm white or muted pale cream maintains the open, gallery-like feel of the composition. If you want to introduce more color through larger painted surfaces or cabinetry, a deep petroleum teal or a muted olive green drawn from the cooler tones in the artwork creates a sophisticated, cohesive atmosphere. For smaller accents and textiles, burnt orange, warm mustard, or charcoal provide natural points of connection without competing with the main mural.
