Wallpaper - Commotion

Energetic brushstrokes, layered collage shapes and organic forms come together in Commotion by artist Cheryl Warrick. What we particularly appreciate about this contemporary abstract design is how fluid marks and geometric elements interact across the surface, giving the wall a lively, artistic rhythm. Warm burgundy and red tones bring visual depth to the composition, while lighter passages keep the overall pattern open and balanced. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, ready to bring fine art into your everyday interior.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and collage-like composition, we see this design working especially well as a focal feature in a living room or dining area. Giving it an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or dining table allows the full movement of Warrick’s abstract forms to unfold without visual breaks.

The warmth of the burgundy palette also makes it a strong choice for a home office, study, art studio or library, where the painterly character introduces creative visual energy. In more compact transitional spaces such as an entryway, hallway or guest room, the contrast between light and deep red tones ensures the pattern stays engaging even in passing.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork take centre stage, we would pair our wallpaper with furniture that has clean, architectural lines. Mid-century modern profiles or simple contemporary shapes in warm timber create an inviting dialogue with the organic forms without competing with them.

For textiles and surrounding accents, we suggest leaning towards muted, solid fabrics rather than competing prints. A warm neutral rug and understated upholstery allow the mural wallpapers to supply the room's main pattern. If you want to introduce metal accents, softly brushed bronze or blackened steel works nicely alongside the rich reddish-brown elements in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored in warm reds and rich burgundy tones, balanced by softer off-white and neutral background sections with subtle dark accents.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams or pale linen tones echo the lighter areas of the print and keep the room open. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, pulling out the deep burgundy for architectural trim, skirting boards or a flanking wall creates a dramatic, cohesive setting.
