Wallpaper - Swans Swimming in The Pound

Our Swans Swimming in The Pound wallpaper brings a painterly garden scene to life, illustrated by Caroline Bonne Müller. Two white swans with subtle pink touches glide across deep blue and purple water, framed by lush foliage, bright green lily pads, and soft pink water lilies. Hanging leaves drape from above, complemented by clusters of cheerful yellow and white flowers alongside bold orange and pink blossoms. Printed on our subtly structured, PVC-free paper and made to measure for your exact dimensions, this wallpaper pairs detailed visual depth with a serene, nature-inspired palette.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a bedroom, where the deep navy backdrop and gentle pond composition create a quiet, grounded feel across the wall behind the headboard. In a dining room or living room, the rich arrangement of botanicals and water birds adds visual interest without overwhelming the space, especially on a wider wall with plenty of breathing room. The detailed framing also makes it an engaging choice for a dressing room or powder room, where the intricate floral details and graceful swans can be enjoyed up close.

Styling it

Because the artwork features a lush variety of foliage and colourful blooms, we like balancing it with simpler, tactile elements in the rest of the room. Warm wood furniture, such as medium oak or walnut, grounds the dark blue water tones naturally and echoes the outdoor garden feel. For textiles, quiet neutrals, muted linen curtains, or an understated wool rug allow the colourful details in the mural to remain the focal point. Soft, ambient lighting in the evening brings out the warmth of the orange and yellow blossoms against the deep navy base.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a deep navy and blue-purple base, layered with vibrant greens, delicate pinks, bright yellow, and warm orange highlights. To complement the motif, we suggest pairing it with soft warm whites, muted taupe, or deep midnight blue on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you want to draw out the floral accents subtly, dusty rose or ochre cushions and ceramic accents work beautifully alongside the design.
