Wallpaper - Aurora

Our Aurora wallpaper by Mike Schick brings together fluid, expressive washes of watercolour in a vivid abstract composition. Broad swaths of sunny yellow, soft coral, violet-pink, sky blue, and fresh teal bleed softly into one another against a crisp, clean background. The design captures the translucent, organic quality of diluted pigment settling onto paper, with natural tide lines and gentle colour bleeds that give the artwork its distinctively modern, painterly character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an uplifting focal point for creative spaces.

In the room

We love seeing this mural wallpaper in creative, light-filled spaces such as an art studio, hobby room, or a contemporary teenage bedroom. Because the composition features an expansive, central wash of colour surrounded by open space, it works especially well on a primary feature wall where the full shape has room to breathe. In a playroom or creative workspace, placing the wallpaper behind an open desk or low storage units ensures that the overlapping transitions between blue, pink, and yellow remain completely visible. For rooms with generous daylight, the delicate tonal gradations and bleeding edges of the watercolour washes appear particularly vivid.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork take centre stage, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively understated in form and finish.

• Pair the wallpaper with light wood furniture or clean white surfaces to echo the brightness of the background and keep the room feeling open.
• Introduce textiles in solid, warm tones picked directly from the design, such as an ochre throw or a muted coral cushion, to tie the seating area into the wall.
• Balance the fluid, organic shapes of the paint washes with minimalist lighting or slender, modern silhouettes that do not compete with the abstract composition.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a harmonious blend of primary and secondary tones: bright lemon yellow, warm coral, lilac-pink, cobalt blue, and sea green against an off-white ground. Around the wallpaper, we recommend keeping adjoining walls in crisp chalky whites, pale cream, or a very soft, washed grey to maintain the artwork's fresh contrast. If you prefer to draw out deeper accents, muted navy, warm terracotta, or mustard yellow work beautifully on painted woodwork, shelving, or upholstery.
