Wallpaper - At the Circus

Our At the Circus wallpaper captures the lively spirit of a fairground evening, centred around a striking blue and white striped big top set against a glowing sunset sky. Created by Tono Balaguer, this photographic mural composition combines warm orange and pink background hues with the crisp geometry of the tent peaks, draped in strings of festive fairy lights, lanterns, and colourful glowing bulbs. It brings an energetic, storybook feel to a room while maintaining a clear focal point. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a children's bedroom, playroom, or nursery. Because the tent forms a bold, pointed silhouette against the sky, we recommend placing it on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full shape of the roof and the ambient evening sky can stretch out. Positioning the design behind a low bed, cot, or open toy storage allows the upper detail—the draped festoon lighting and the rich sunset tones—to remain clearly visible from across the room. In rooms with good natural daylight, the cobalt blue stripes and sky gradients show plenty of depth, while under warmer artificial lighting in the evening, the illustrated glow of the lanterns creates an inviting, cosy backdrop.

Styling it

To let the visual energy of our mural wallpapers lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Clean, modern silhouettes in white, light birch, or painted blue finishes work naturally alongside the big top motif without competing with its detail. You can pull through the playful fairground theme with small, tactile accents such as patterned cushions, colourful storage baskets, or a simple woven cotton rug in a solid neutral tone. Keeping large storage units low or situated along neighbouring walls ensures the scene feels open and expansive.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a vibrant palette of cobalt blue and crisp white stripes, set against a rich evening sky blended with warm orange, coral, and soft pink tones. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we like using a soft off-white or a very pale sky blue to keep the space light and balanced. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out a warm terracotta or deep dusk orange on trims or neighbouring walls echoes the sunset glow without overpowering the central tent motif.
