Wallpaper - Interlude

Our Interlude wallpaper, created by Mike Schick, brings an abstract oil painting composition to the wall with expressive painterly brushstrokes and balanced negative space. Broad passages of rich sapphire and cobalt blue anchor the center, transitioning into soft lavender, pale sky blue, and touches of rose pink against an airy off-white ground. Visible dry-brush textures, layered washes, and delicate linear accents give the artwork genuine visual depth while keeping the overall impression light and tranquil. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room or home office where the central abstract form has room to breathe. Because the painted composition is gathered mainly in the center with expansive light space around it, it sits comfortably behind a low sofa or a clean-lined desk without feeling crowded. In spaces with good natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between the deeper blues, lavender, and pale washes become especially distinct and engaging throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork remain the hero of the room, we suggest pairing this design with quiet contemporary furniture in low-profile silhouettes. Warm, natural wood tones such as light ash, bleached oak, or walnut provide a grounded organic contrast to the cool blue and purple palette. Simple upholstered pieces in natural woven textiles or soft neutral tones allow the dynamic color fields of the artwork to anchor the interior.

Color combinations

The design is defined by sapphire blue, muted lavender, baby blue, and subtle hints of rose against crisp off-white. For adjacent walls, warm off-whites or pale stone create a seamless, cohesive backdrop that extends the open negative space of the design. If you prefer more color continuity, accents in dusty navy, soft lilac, or muted slate grey drawn directly from the darker brushstrokes will tie surrounding upholstery, rugs, or cabinetry together naturally.
