Wallpaper - Colorburst

Our Colorburst wallpaper by Mike Schick brings an expressive, painterly energy to the wall through vivid bands of watercolour-inspired colour. Set against a clean, pale background, broad abstract washes flow downwards in a vibrant progression from warm yellow into bright magenta, rich blue, and deep teal green. Soft bleeding edges and layered transparencies give the composition an authentic painted appearance, while the generous surrounding negative space keeps the large-scale colour block feeling open and light. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a striking, artistic focal point for contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because Colorburst relies on a central, vertical flow of colour surrounded by open space, we especially like giving this wallpaper a prominent, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or modern dining space, it works beautifully as a feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza, allowing the full stack of bleeding pigment to remain visible from floor to ceiling.

The playful yet sophisticated mood also makes it well suited to a creative home office, a vibrant playroom, or a teenage bedroom. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts where the pink blends into cobalt blue and emerald green become particularly vivid. If you are decorating a compact space or a study, placing this design on the primary accent wall brings immediate character without visually enclosing the room.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, architectural lines and relatively quiet silhouettes. Low-profile pieces in light or mid-tone painted finishes prevent visual clutter around the central motif and give the colours room to breathe.

Introducing elements of contemporary eclectic styling can complement the painterly aesthetic without competing with it. Smooth, matte ceramics or understated upholstery in neutral tones provide a grounded contrast to the fluid, energetic pigment washes on the wall.

Colour combinations

The design itself is defined by a bold spectrum of sunny yellow, vibrant magenta, rich sky and cobalt blue, and clear teal green, all resting on a soft off-white background. When choosing paint colours and materials for surrounding walls and trim, matching the warm white of the paper background creates a seamless, cohesive backdrop that lets the central artwork sing.

If you want to pull accents into the wider room, drawing directly from the deeper teal or rich blue for cushions, painted woodwork, or occasional furniture creates a deliberate connection. Alternatively, soft sandy tones and muted neutrals on adjacent walls will keep the room feeling balanced while allowing the saturated primary and secondary tones to pop.
