Wallpaper - Statue of the Nymphe de la Néva

Our Statue of the Nymphe de la Néva wallpaper captures a classic Parisian vista across the Seine, viewed past the Pont Alexandre III sculpture towards the Eiffel Tower. Created by Jan Becke, the composition pairs the sculpted bronze figure and its golden sceptre in the foreground with the soft silhouette of the landmark framed against an evening sky. Warm sunset orange and earthy bronze tones meet the cooler blues of the river below, creating an atmospheric, pictorial scene with genuine visual depth. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper relies on perspective and horizon, we find it works best on an uninterrupted wall where the full expanse of the river and sky can be appreciated. In a living room, placing it along the main feature wall or behind a low sofa keeps the Eiffel Tower and sculpture in clear view without cutting off the horizontal flow of the water. It also suits a bedroom or home library, where the tranquil sunset tones introduce a cultured, contemplative mood without overpowering the room. For spaces with generous ceiling heights, the verticality of the statue and tower helps anchor the room, while in narrower layouts, the open sky and distant viewpoint add a sense of visual openness.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding interior relatively grounded to let the detailed composition hold focus. Furniture with clean lines and low profiles prevents the foreground sculpture from feeling crowded. Rich, warm wood finishes or dark painted pieces echo the deep bronze notes of the statue, whilst soft matte textiles in slate or deep navy balance the glowing sunset tones. A few restrained metallic touches in antique brass or muted gold can gently pick up on the gilded sceptre without competing with the scene itself.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on the contrast between warm earthy bronze, golden sunset orange, and cool river blues. To complement the design on surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger furnishings:

• Deep slate blues or soft chalky navy echo the water and lower tones of the mural.
• Warm neutrals, muted ochre, or terracotta tones draw out the evening glow in the sky.
• Charcoal, dark bronze, or soft off-white on trim and adjacent surfaces provide a clean frame that lets the artwork stand out.
