Wallpaper - Interlude

Created by artist Mike Schick, our Interlude wallpaper captures the spontaneous, expressive feel of an abstract oil painting. Broad brushstrokes and layered washes of sapphire blue, soft periwinkle, lavender, and gentle accents of blush pink build an asymmetrical focal point anchored against an airy, off-white background. The open negative space gives the composition room to breathe, while delicate pencil-like lines and textural sweeps provide intimate detail up close. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings contemporary fine art directly into your home.

In the room

Because Interlude carries its deepest pigment and strongest structural blocks near the centre, it naturally commands visual attention without crowding a space. In a living room, we love seeing this design on a feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza, where the large areas of light background allow the wall to feel open and tall. It also works wonderfully in a quiet home office or study, providing an artistic focal point that brings calm clarity to the workspace.

Styling it

To complement the contemporary, painterly character of this wallpaper, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings clean-lined and understated. Modern, low-profile silhouettes in light oak, ash, or soft painted neutrals will prevent the room from feeling visually busy, allowing the abstract composition to take centre stage. If you want to balance the cooler sapphire and slate blues, incorporate matte black accents or warm stoneware ceramics to ground the room and add tactile depth.

Colour combinations

Our design features deep sapphire and ink blues balanced by lavender, soft sky blue, pale grey, and a subtle brush of rose pink against a clean, off-white field. When selecting paint for adjacent walls or trim, a crisp warm white or very pale grey allows the artwork to feel seamlessly integrated into the room. For upholstery, rugs, or larger furniture, drawing out the deeper sapphire tone creates a sophisticated, cohesive connection, while natural ivory and soft sand tones maintain a light, modern aesthetic.
