Wallpaper - Overlap II

Created by artist Mike Schick, our Overlap II wallpaper brings together a balanced grid of translucent, watercolor-like square blocks on a clean off-white ground. What we particularly like about this geometric design is how the soft washes of aquamarine blue, pastel teal, and muted grey overlap to form deeper tones and gentle edges. The translucent layering gives the squares an airy, fluid quality, turning a minimalist structure into a calm, graphic statement. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design works beautifully as a refined feature wall in modern residential spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces meant for quiet focus and relaxation, such as a private home office, study, or dedicated meditation room. Because the composition centers around large, soft color blocks, we would give it a relatively uninterrupted wall where the balance of the grid can be appreciated from a distance. Behind a desk or opposite a seating area, the quiet rhythm of the aquamarine and grey tones provides visual interest without feeling busy or distracting. In rooms with generous natural light, the delicate shifts in watercolor transparency and soft gradations between blocks become particularly noticeable.

Styling it

The minimalist, contemporary character of this mural wallpaper pairs naturally with clean lines and understated furnishings. We would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the geometry and color washes stand out. Low-profile furniture in light or warm wood tones works well to ground the cool blue and grey palette, while soft, solid textiles in muted off-white or pale grey complement the airy feel of the watercolor blocks. Matte black accents, such as a sleek task lamp or slim picture frames on adjacent walls, can introduce a subtle graphic contrast that echoes the square structure of the motif.

Color combinations

Our Overlap II design features a palette of aquamarine blue, sky blue, soft pastel teal, and neutral grey washes set against a warm off-white background. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend pairing it with a soft chalky white, warm ivory, or a very light pale grey that matches the background tone. If you prefer a richer look, deeper slate blues or muted charcoal accents in furniture upholstery or window treatments will pick up the darker intersection points where the watercolor squares overlap.
