Wallpaper - Catalina Gold

Our Catalina Gold wallpaper brings together bold abstract forms, visible brushwork character, and a balanced palette of smoke gray, muted gold, charcoal black, and off-white. Created by artist Mike Schick, the composition balances broad, painterly blocks of color with gestural dark strokes and textured layering, giving the impression of an expressive canvas scaled up for the wall. The contrast between warm ochre-gold tones and cool gray patches creates an artistic, thoughtful focal point that feels grounded yet dynamic. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and painterly composition, we see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. The larger geometric blocks and sweeping brush marks benefit from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full movement of the artwork can unfold. In a living room setting, placing this design behind a low sofa allows the darker structural lines and warm gold highlights to frame the seating area naturally without feeling crowded.

In a home office, the balanced mix of neutral gray and energizing gold tones provides an inspiring, creative backdrop behind a desk. The design has enough visual weight to anchor a room on its own, so we suggest keeping the surrounding walls in a complementary solid shade rather than wrapping all four walls, allowing the mural to function like a large-scale commissioned painting.

Styling it

To complement the contemporary, artistic character of this design, we would look toward clean-lined modern or minimalist furniture that lets the wall carry the primary visual interest. Low-profile seating in charcoal, oatmeal, or mid-gray fabric anchors the space while echoing the base tones of the artwork.

For surrounding materials, warm wood furniture such as walnut or natural oak connects beautifully with the mustard-gold passages in the motif, adding organic warmth to the room. Matte black metal accents on lighting fixtures or coffee table frames will pick up the gestural black brushstrokes, tying the entire interior together without competing with the composition.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper revolves around smoke gray, off-white, deep charcoal, and soft ochre gold. When choosing colors for adjacent painted walls or baseboards, soft warm whites and light neutral grays work seamlessly to maintain an airy, gallery-like ambiance.

If you want a moodier, more tailored look, pulling the deep charcoal from the design onto surrounding millwork or an adjacent accent wall creates rich contrast. For decorative accents like throws, cushions, or ceramics, mustard, honey, and muted bronze tones will draw out the golden brushstrokes and bring an inviting warmth to the room.
