Wallpaper - April Gray III

Created by Mike Schick, our April Gray III wallpaper brings together bold geometric curves and balanced angular segments in a soft, architectural composition. Large semicircular shapes, sweeping arcs, and intersecting linear bands interact across a muted palette of soft cream, pale buttery yellow, warm off-white, and varying shades of slate, charcoal, and cool grey. Visible brushwork within each painted section gives the graphic forms a subtle painted texture, while crisp white framing lines and slender accents of teal and red create refined definition. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, this design offers a calm, modern statement on any wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted living room wall or across a dining space where its large-scale geometric forms have room to be appreciated in full. Because the motif is divided into expansive curved sections and broad planes of colour, it creates an architectural backdrop behind low-profile furniture such as a sofa or sideboard without feeling crowded. The subtle painted texture within the grey and cream fields softens the clean geometry, making the wallpaper feel grounded and warm rather than strictly formal.

In a bedroom or contemporary home office, the balanced distribution of light creams and deeper greys creates a steady, structured backdrop. The composition combines generous light-toned segments with darker slate anchors, which helps it sit naturally in both well-lit daytime spaces and rooms with softer, indirect evening lighting.

Styling it

To complement the large geometric panels and fine dividing lines of this mural, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture that shares a modern, architectural silhouette. Minimalist seating with soft textile upholstery in off-white, oatmeal, or charcoal works beautifully alongside the design's colour blocking.

For materials, smooth pale wood or matte black metal creates a sharp, cohesive dialogue with the dark grey segments and crisp outlines in the artwork. We recommend keeping surrounding decorative items relatively restrained, letting the broad curves and subtle brushwork in the wallpaper serve as the central visual focus of the interior.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a harmonious blend of muted cream, soft buttermilk, cool and warm grey tones, deep slate, and crisp white, with subtle slivers of teal and rust-red along key boundary lines.

When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls, trim, or larger furniture, we suggest pulling directly from the lighter background tones, such as soft plaster white or pale stone, to keep the space feeling open and cohesive. For a bolder accent that echoes the deeper sections of the wallpaper, deep charcoal, muted slate, or a dark iron-grey on woodwork or cabinetry creates a striking, grounded contrast.
