Wallpaper - Exxaggeration

Created in collaboration with Mike Schick, our Exxaggeration wallpaper brings a bold, abstract painterly composition directly to the wall. The design centres on an expressive field of vivid orange and dark amber, layered with geometric diamond stamping, intersecting rings, and dynamic white brushstrokes. Turquoise accents, deep teal brushwork, and soft blush tones provide striking visual contrast across the mixed-media canvas. Produced as a made-to-measure mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers an energetic, gallery-like focal point for contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because the composition has the expressive presence of a large-scale abstract painting, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated creative home studio. The wide, sweeping colour fields and directional white lines benefit from an uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the artwork can unfold. In open-plan living spaces, placing this wallpaper behind a sofa or along a main dining wall creates an immediate artistic anchor that naturally defines the zone without overcrowding it.

Styling it

With such vibrant energy in the artwork, we suggest balancing the space with clean-lined, contemporary furniture that lets the wall carry the primary visual interest. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, paired with warm wood finishes such as teak or oak, grounds the bright citrus tones. Matte black metal accents or minimalist lighting fixtures work nicely to echo the graphic geometry and dark teal marks in the painting, while keeping the overall room feeling modern and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a rich palette led by deep orange, terracotta, and crisp white, punctuated by teal, turquoise dots, and dusty pink. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams, or pale greys create a fresh, balanced frame. For a moodier, more cohesive look, pulling a deep petroleum teal or warm clay tone from the design onto surrounding trim or cabinetry adds depth and sophistication.
