Wallpaper - Northern Light Watercolor

Our Northern Light Watercolor wallpaper, created by Lovisa Burfitt, brings together soft transitions of sunshine yellow, light blue, pink, and orange in an abstract, fluid composition. What we particularly like about this design is the visible, grainy texture of watercolor paper in the print, giving the impression of an expansive wash of paint across the wall. The gentle shifts between warm and cool tones create a light, open visual feel without sharp contrasts or rigid repeating lines. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the design is built on fluid, painterly transitions rather than a dense repeating pattern, we find it works particularly well on wider, uninterrupted surfaces where the gradient has space to unfold. In a living room, placing this wallpaper along an open feature wall allows the blend of warm yellow and airy blue to define the character of the entire seating area. The soft, luminous palette also makes our wall murals of this style a natural fit for a home art studio or a dedicated meditation room, where the airy, uncluttered composition helps maintain an open and serene visual atmosphere.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer keeping the surrounding elements relatively understated so the watercolor motif remains the focal point. Contemporary and minimalist interiors complement the fluid abstraction naturally. Low-profile furniture with clean, simple silhouettes prevents the wall from feeling obstructed. For painted surfaces or furniture, choosing quiet, neutral finishes allows the warmth of the yellow and the cool tones of the blue to stand out without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on a delicate balance of sunshine yellow, light blue, soft pink, and subtle orange washes. To build a cohesive room palette around our wallpapers, we recommend pairing the wall with soft, chalky whites or muted light greys on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to echo the warmer notes in the print, muted peach or pale butter tones work nicely in surrounding textiles. Alternatively, cool, pale blue accents elsewhere in the room help tie in the motif's softer undertones.
