Wallpaper - Breakout Fire

Created in collaboration with artist Mike Schick, our Breakout Fire wallpaper brings expressive contemporary art directly to the wall. The composition balances bold geometric blocks of crimson red, golden yellow, and chartreuse against an airy, layered ground of soft white, sky blue, and textured brushwork. With its dynamic painted look and striking color contrasts, this abstract design functions like a large-scale modern artwork. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see Breakout Fire working especially well in a bright living room or a dedicated home art studio where its bold color fields can anchor the space. Because the design has such a clear focal energy, with intense primary and warm tones concentrated on one side against an open, pale field on the other, it thrives on an expansive, uninterrupted feature wall. Giving the mural room to breathe allows the subtle painterly layers and energetic mark-making to stand out without competing against tall storage units or crowded wall art. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa lets the vibrant upper sections take center stage while grounding the seating area.

Styling it

When decorating around a vibrant piece of contemporary art like this, we prefer keeping large furniture pieces grounded and architectural to balance the painterly energy. Clean-lined modern furniture in deep charcoal, crisp white, or light natural woods works beautifully against the backdrop, providing quiet visual weight that lets the wallpaper lead. To pull the room together, you can introduce a few deliberate accents that echo the artwork, such as a sculptural ceramic bowl or a small throw pillow in warm ochre or deep crimson. Keeping surrounding patterns minimal ensures the wall mural remains the distinct visual statement of the interior.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette of rich crimson red, warm mustard yellow, and bright chartreuse balanced by cool periwinkle blue, chalky white, and soft neutral greys. When painting adjacent walls, soft warm whites or pale architectural greys create a crisp, gallery-style frame that keeps the room light. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling a deep slate grey or muted navy from the cooler brushstrokes into your trim, doors, or an adjoining accent wall creates a dramatic, grounded contrast with the fiery red and yellow blocks.
