Wallpaper - Artifact II Teal

Our Artifact II Teal wallpaper, designed by Mike Schick, pairs bold abstract forms with a grounded, contemplative palette. Large cream curves and geometric rectangles overlap across a deep teal background with earthy emerald undertones, separated by delicate white outlines that bring clarity to the composition. Visible brushstrokes throughout the painted shapes give the motif an artistic, tactile appearance on the wall. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this design brings a balanced contemporary presence to open wall surfaces while maintaining a calm, orderly rhythm.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in living rooms and home offices where the large-scale geometry has space to unfold. In a living room, giving the design an uninterrupted feature wall behind a low sofa allows the complete balance between the arched cream forms and the dark teal background to be appreciated without visual crowding. For a dedicated study or workspace, placing the mural wallpaper across the main focal wall creates a focused, architecturally defined atmosphere that feels structured rather than busy. Because the shapes are generous and graphic, keeping tall storage away from the centre of the wall ensures the interplay of curved and linear forms remains clear.

Styling it

To balance the strong geometric character of our design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and quiet. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, such as oatmeal or charcoal, lets the bold forms carry the visual weight of the room. Warm wood finishes, like mid-tone oak or walnut, introduce natural texture that complements the painted character of the motif without introducing competing patterns. Minimalist black metal accents in floor lamps or side table frames can echo the crisp outlining of the shapes, anchoring the overall modern aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a deep teal base enriched with emerald hues, offset by soft cream and subtle white linework. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or built-in elements, muted tones that draw from this relationship work best. An off-white or soft linen shade on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling balanced and airy, allowing the teal to stand out as a defined statement. If you prefer a richer scheme, pulling a deep moss green or understated slate grey onto trim and skirting frames the wallpaper with a sophisticated, architectural finish.
