Wallpaper - Summer in the City

Created by Danhui Nai, our Summer in the City wallpaper captures the warm, sun-drenched feel of an urban landscape through abstract oil-painted brushstrokes. Soft yellow tones and warm beige neutrals build a layered, modernist composition with a painterly texture and gentle screenprint-inspired character. The fluid, expressive shapes give this artwork a relaxed energy that brings life to a room without feeling overwhelming. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an artistic focus to contemporary spaces.

In the room

In a living room or dining area, we like this design across a main feature wall where the wider brushwork and painterly transitions have enough breadth to unfold. Because the contrast remains soft and the palette stays grounded in warm neutrals, the motif also works across several walls in an open-plan room without feeling visually heavy.

For a home office, study, or library, the abstract composition adds creative interest behind a desk or reading nook while keeping the surrounding atmosphere calm. It sits comfortably in an entryway, hallway, or guest bedroom where you want an immediate sense of warmth, and it brings an artistic touch to a powder room or bathroom setting.

Styling it

We see this wallpaper working especially well alongside organic modern and minimalist interior schemes. To complement the fluid, painted movement of the motif, we would pair it with furniture that features clean silhouettes, rounded edges, and quiet finishes.

• Choose low-profile furniture in light or medium warm wood tones to echo the organic warmth of the background beige.
• Introduce neutral upholstery and woven textiles in unbleached cotton or boucle to bring soft material contrast against the wall.
• Balance the warm yellow and beige palette with matte black metal accents, such as a slim floor lamp or clean-lined picture frames, to give the room graphic definition.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft yellows, sunny ochre accents, and calm beige neutrals. These painterly shades provide a gentle foundation that pairs naturally with off-white, warm cream, and pale stone on adjacent walls and woodwork.

For a grounded, contemporary look, deep charcoal and soft muted taupe create a striking contrast that sharpens the fluid shapes. If you prefer an earthy, organic palette, subtle terracotta, warm sand, and olive green sit comfortably alongside the sunny tones.
