Wallpaper - Gathering

Our Gathering wallpaper by Mike Schick brings together overlapping geometric forms in a bold, abstract composition. Set against a deep black background, a prominent white crescent cuts across the wall, balanced by a warm burnt orange arc, an earthy red-brown semi-circle, and a soft grey trapezoid. The oil-paint-inspired character and clean geometric edges give the mural a modern, gallery-like presence. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, our design offers an expressive focal point that works effortlessly across contemporary interior schemes.

In the room

Because Gathering relies on strong contrasts and large-scale geometry, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room, giving the wallpaper a wide, open wall behind a sofa allows the full sweep of the orange arc and white crescent to unfold without being broken up by tall furniture. In a study or work area, the balance of deep black and warm terracotta tones creates an engaging backdrop that brings depth to the room while keeping the surrounding space uncluttered.

Styling it

To let the artwork lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively quiet and low in profile. Clean-lined contemporary sofas or minimalist desks work well alongside the bold geometry, preventing the space from feeling overcrowded. For surrounding materials, warm timber such as walnut or darker stained wood complements the burnt orange and earthy red-brown sections of the design, while simple black metal accents echo the deep background.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a striking contrast of deep black, crisp white, muted grey, burnt orange, and earthy red-brown. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out the softer neutral tones. A soft warm grey or a muted off-white keeps the room feeling open and balances the dramatic dark backdrop. If you prefer a richer aesthetic, carrying a warm terracotta or burnt orange onto soft furnishings or adjacent accents will enhance the warmth of the motif.
