Wallpaper - Breakout Fire

Created by Mike Schick, our Breakout Fire wallpaper brings an expressive, contemporary abstract composition to the wall. The design balances broad, saturated colour blocks in rich crimson red, warm amber yellow, and bright chartreuse against an airy expanse of cool white, slate blue, and layered brushstroke textures. Scumbled paint marks, subtle geometric layering, and fine graphic line work give the artwork its distinct studio-led character. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this mural wallpaper introduces a bold focal point with a light paper structure that feels right at home in modern interiors.

In the room

In a spacious living room or dedicated home art studio, we would place this design across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full scale of the composition can unfold without interruption. The dynamic split between the vivid colour blocks on one side and the expansive, chalky white brushwork on the other creates an asymmetrical rhythm that naturally draws the eye.

Because the visual weight sits heavily within the warm red and yellow blocks, the wallpaper works especially well on an accent wall behind a low-profile sofa or dining table. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the cooler blues and subtle white layers remain crisp, while the warmer tones gain extra depth under softer evening lamplight.

Styling it

To let the expressive energy of the mural wallpaper stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Contemporary pieces with simple silhouettes prevent the room from feeling visually crowded.

We would balance the painterly character of the design with tactile, unpatterned materials such as smooth matte ceramics, woollen upholstery, or natural woven rugs. Low-slung furniture finished in blackened metal or warm mid-tone timber works particularly well, anchoring the bold blocks of colour without competing with the detailed brushwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its vibrant pairing of rich crimson red, deep amber, and lively yellow-green, balanced by soft slate blue, cool greys, and sweeping passages of chalky white.

When decorating the surrounding space, pulling the soft off-white or light slate blue from the paler half of the mural onto adjoining walls creates a bright, cohesive backdrop. For a more graphic and daring interior, subtle accents in deep charcoal or burnt ochre in cushions, throws, or architectural trim will pick up on the darker undertones within the print.
