Wallpaper - Somersault Gray

Created by Mike Schick, our Somersault Gray wallpaper brings a bold abstract composition into modern living spaces. The artwork pairs soft, layered blocks of coral pink and muted warm grey with striking, dark vertical paint strokes that run through the piece. Visible brush textures and painterly layering across a clean off-white background give the design an expressive, gallery-inspired presence on the wall. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal feature wall in a contemporary living room, creative studio, or open-plan seating area. The strong vertical lines give the composition an uplifting sense of height, drawing the eye upward and helping the space feel taller. Because the abstract shapes are bold and fluid, we recommend giving this design a clear, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full painted forms and brush details can be appreciated without being heavily concealed by high furniture.

Styling it

The expressive shapes and crisp graphic contrasts make this design naturally suited to contemporary and eclectic interiors. We would pair it with low-profile furniture to let the lower pink and grey blocks remain visible. Simple silhouettes with clean lines balance the expressive energy of the painted brushwork. When selecting accent pieces, matte black metal elements or dark-stained wood provide a subtle dialogue with the prominent vertical strokes, while softer upholstered seating helps keep the overall atmosphere welcoming.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on clear coral pink, gentle rose undertones, and a neutral, stony grey set against an off-white backdrop with deep charcoal-black vertical lines. Around this design, we suggest leaning into quiet, warm off-whites or pale greys for adjacent walls to keep the focus firmly on the mural. For upholstery and larger textiles, pulling out matching coral or dusty blush accents creates an intentional, cohesive look, while grounding the room with charcoal or slate details ties directly into the graphic lines.
