Wallpaper - Catalina Gold

Created by Mike Schick, our Catalina Gold wallpaper brings the expressive energy of abstract painting directly onto the wall. Bold fields of smoke grey, off-white, and warm ochre gold meet energetic black brushstrokes and textured blocks of colour, creating an artistic composition with striking visual depth. The dynamic painted character and visible brushwork give the design a modern, gallery-worthy presence that makes a confident statement. Printed as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper has a subtle paper structure that complements the painted aesthetic of the artwork.

In the room

We love how this abstract mural wallpaper commands attention without overwhelming a space. In a spacious living room, we would place it on the main wall behind a sofa where the broad, painterly forms have room to be appreciated in full. It also works brilliantly in a dedicated home office or study, serving as an engaging visual backdrop that adds character to the workspace. Because the composition features sweeping, large-scale brushstrokes and layered geometric blocks, it thrives on wider, relatively uninterrupted walls where the complete rhythm of the artwork can unfold.

Styling it

When decorating around such an expressive wall mural, we suggest balancing the energetic brushwork with understated furniture that has clean, architectural lines. A contemporary sofa in charcoal, warm grey, or cream lets the wallpaper take centre stage while echoing its underlying neutral palette. To enhance the warmer elements within the painting, incorporate natural timber furniture or subtle brushed brass details in floor lamps and hardware. Keeping the surrounding decorative pieces minimal and intentional helps maintain a calm, curated interior.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on smoke grey, crisp off-white, deep charcoal black, and muted golden ochre. On adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from the lighter tones with a soft off-white or a chalky light grey to keep the room open and luminous. For a moodier, more tailored feel, a deep slate grey or soft black on surrounding doors and skirting creates a striking frame around the mural. Upholstery in warm oat, stone, or muted gold easily connects the rest of the room back to the painting.
