Wallpaper - Somersault Gray

Created by Mike Schick, our Somersault Gray wallpaper brings a bold, painterly composition to life through dynamic forms and expressive color blocking. Fluid, dark vertical strokes stretch across a crisp off-white background, cutting through soft fields of warm gray, vibrant bubblegum pink, and delicate coral tones. The visible brushstrokes and painted-looking textures give this abstract piece an artistic presence that feels both energetic and balanced. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it easy to install and tailored to your specific wall dimensions.

In the room

In a living room, this mural wallpaper functions naturally as a focal point behind a sofa or across a main feature wall. The strong vertical lines draw the eye upward, giving open spaces a pronounced sense of height while anchoring the room's proportions. Because the composition balances broad color planes with open white space, it commands attention without overwhelming the rest of the interior.

We also see this design working beautifully in a dedicated home art studio or creative workspace. The dynamic interplay between the organic black gestures and the lively pink patches creates an uplifting, artistic backdrop. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, the full movement of the brushwork and the distinct color shapes have ample room to unfold.

Styling it

To let the expressive character of the artwork lead, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture featuring clean, sculptural silhouettes and low profiles. Surrounding the wall with understated, contemporary pieces keeps the room feeling cohesive and intentional.

For materials, smooth matte surfaces and quiet textiles allow the painted look of the motif to stand out. Black metal accents, such as a slender floor lamp or side table frame, tie directly into the dark vertical lines in the artwork, while natural, lighter wood tones help soften the contrast.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper centers on a distinctive palette of warm gray, vibrant pink, and soft coral set against a clean, off-white ground, grounded by rich charcoal-black lines.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, or major furnishings, we suggest pulling from the softer tones within the design. Warm off-whites, pale stone grays, and muted taupe create a calm, cohesive environment around the accent wall. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, charcoal and soft black elements echo the brushwork, while small accents in warm blush or terracotta can subtly complement the pink fields without competing for attention.
