Wallpaper - April Gray II

Our April Gray II wallpaper, designed by Mike Schick, brings together sweeping geometric curves, intersecting architectural lines, and painterly visual texture. Large circular arcs in soft cream, pale chalky gray, and deep slate gray overlap across the composition, accented by fine linear pencil-like markings and subtle golden ochre outlines. The large scale of the abstract forms gives the design an open, balanced presence on the wall, balancing quiet neutral tones with strong graphic movement. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see April Gray II working particularly well in a living room, dining space, or bedroom where a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping curves and architectural lines to display their full scale. Because the composition relies on broad color blocking rather than a busy, dense repeat, it anchors a space without visually overwhelming it. In an open-plan living area or entryway, positioning this mural wallpaper behind a low credenza or sofa lets the dynamic arcs draw the eye upward and across the room. Under soft daylight, the gentle shifts between off-white, light gray, and warm cream become distinct, while evening lighting emphasizes the rich depth of the dark slate sections.

Styling it

To complement the geometric clarity and painterly character of this design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes relatively clean and grounded. Low-profile seating in textured woven upholstery or smooth matte finishes lets the wall mural act as the primary graphic element in the room.

For accents, warm honey oak, natural ash, or matte black metal hardware pair naturally with the design's underlying palette, echoing both the soft ochre linework and the deeper charcoal curves without competing with the overall composition.

Color combinations

The design itself is built on a refined palette of warm cream, pale alabaster, chalk gray, and deep slate, highlighted by delicate traces of ochre and dusty plum along the borders of the shapes.

When choosing colors for adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we like pairing this wallpaper with soft off-white or gentle stone tones to keep the room feeling bright and cohesive. For a moodier, more tailored look, pulling the deep charcoal gray from the darker shapes onto neighboring trim, doors, or built-in cabinetry creates a striking, deliberate contrast.
