Wallpaper - What I Saw

Created by Mike Schick, our What I Saw wallpaper brings a soft, expressive presence to the wall through broad painted washes and delicate pastel shifts. The lower two-thirds of the composition are anchored by sweeping blush pink and warm apricot brushwork, crowned with subtle gestural marks in soft teal, muted sage, and pale yellow against an airy off-white background. The open, atmospheric balance gives the abstract design a serene visual character without overwhelming the room. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our mural wallpapers bring an artistic, gallery-like feel to your interior.

In the room

Because the heavier painted weight sits across the lower portion of the design, this wallpaper works especially well on an accent wall behind a low bed frame in a primary bedroom or alongside a crib in a calm nursery. The light off-white upper section allows rooms with standard ceiling heights to feel open and uncrowded. We also see this working beautifully in a dedicated meditation room or quiet reading corner, where the fluid shapes and gentle horizontal movement create an uncluttered, peaceful backdrop.

Styling it

To balance the painterly softness of the artwork, we suggest introducing low-profile furniture in pale, natural timber such as birch or ash, which complements the warm apricot tones without competing for visual weight.

For surrounding accents, simple ceramic vessels, unbleached cotton textiles, and light, fluid curtains in warm white or soft cream keep the overall scheme cohesive, allowing the subtle teal and sage accents in the print to emerge naturally as gentle focal points.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built upon delicate blush pink, soft apricot, and warm off-white, accented with touches of muted teal, pale sage, and soft yellow.

When painting adjoining walls or woodwork, we suggest pulling from the design's neutral base with warm off-white or light plaster tones to maintain continuity. If you prefer subtle contrast, a muted sage or soft dusty green on adjacent trim or a low sideboard creates an elegant dialogue with the cooler brushstrokes in the upper section.
