Wallpaper - Paper Work

Created by Mike Schick, our Paper Work wallpaper brings together bold geometric planes and soft, painterly texture in a bright, balanced composition. Warm sunshine yellow, soft buttery tones, and clean white facets fold into one another like folded paper or crisp origami shapes. What we particularly like about this design is how the angular geometry feels approachable and uplifting, thanks to the visible brush-stroke character within each colored plane. Printed made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this is one of our favorite mural wallpapers for adding modern artistic energy to an interior.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a living room or a dedicated home office where the large-scale geometric forms have space to breathe. Because the composition relies on broad, dynamic planes rather than a small, dense repeat, it makes a striking statement on an uninterrupted main wall behind a low sofa or a desk. In a home office, the bright yellow palette and generous white fields create a lively, creative backdrop for daily work without feeling visually crowded. If you have tall ceilings or an open-plan layout, the strong diagonal lines draw the eye upward and across the room, giving the entire space an airy, contemporary feel.

Styling it

When styling around Paper Work, we like to keep surrounding furnishings grounded and relatively simple so the geometric mural remains the visual focal point.

Mid-century modern or contemporary organic furniture with clean lines pairs naturally with the angular shapes. Low-profile seating in neutral fabrics, like textured cream, warm sand, or charcoal, lets the yellow planes stand out. For materials, warm wood tones like natural oak or birch harmonize effortlessly with the sunshine yellow tones, while subtle matte black accents in desk lamps or table frames can echo the crisp, graphic structure of the composition.

Color combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centers on bright sunshine yellow, soft pale yellow, and crisp white.

To build a cohesive room scheme, we suggest pairing it with warm white or soft cream on adjacent painted walls to keep the room light and cohesive. If you want to introduce contrast, charcoal gray, deep slate, or muted olive green on larger furniture pieces or decorative accents will anchor the bright yellow tones beautifully. For a softer, monochromatic look, layering pale sandy beiges and warm timber creates a calm, sun-drenched environment.
