Wallpaper - Interlude

Our Interlude wallpaper by Mike Schick brings an expressive, painterly abstract composition to the wall. Built from layered blocks of sapphire blue, soft periwinkle, muted lavender, and accents of pale pink against an open off-white background, the design balances rich brushwork with quiet negative space. The oil paint look creates visible brushstrokes, semi-translucent washes, and subtle pencil marks that give the artwork depth and artistic character. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it makes a distinctive accent in modern interiors.

In the room

We see this abstract design working particularly well in a living room or a dedicated home office where the artwork has room to breathe. Because the visual weight is concentrated in the lower-centre and right-hand areas of the motif, placing it on a main feature wall behind a low sofa or a clean-lined desk keeps the main sapphire blue passages fully visible while the lighter negative space opens up the upper half of the room.

In an open-plan living room, our wall murals can anchor a seating zone without overwhelming surrounding walls. If you have tall ceilings or generous natural daylight, the gentle tonal transitions between the deep blues, washed lilacs, and subtle pink accents become especially rewarding to view up close.

Styling it

To let the artistic character of the wallpaper stand out, we suggest pairing it with furniture that features clean, modern silhouettes and relatively quiet finishes. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, such as warm grey, stone, or off-white, complements the painterly quality without competing for attention.

A few considered styling touches around the room can echo the palette nicely. A simple ceramic vase, a matte black metal reading lamp, or soft woven textiles in cool grey and muted blue help tie the space together while maintaining an uncluttered, contemporary aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by rich sapphire blue, underpinned by pale sky blues, lilac, delicate pink, and a soft off-white backdrop.

For adjacent walls and painted trim, we like using soft off-whites, pale chalky greys, or muted stone tones that reflect the open background of the motif. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, taking a deep navy or slate blue from the darkest brushwork onto surrounding woodwork or an adjacent alcove creates an elegant, cohesive contrast.
