Wallpaper - Dreaming of Paint I

Our Dreaming of Paint I wallpaper, created with artist Yvette St. Amant, brings together bold, overlapping splashes of glossy-looking red, orange, yellow, blue, and light blue paint against a clean white background. What we particularly like about this design is the wet, dimensional character of the paint forms, which creates a striking sense of movement across the surface. The spontaneous composition gives the motif an expressive, modern art feel that adds immediate visual energy to a room. Like all of our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a vibrant focal point in creative and social areas of the home. In a living room, giving the mural an uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa allows the full scale and layering of the paint drops to stand out clearly. It also feels naturally suited to a playroom, children's bedroom, or teenage room, where the bright palette and fluid shapes bring a sense of playfulness to the space. For a home office, hobby room, or dedicated art studio, we would use it on the main working wall to keep the visual environment stimulating and lively without cluttering the physical room.

Styling it

Because our mural wallpaper carries such strong primary and secondary colour accents, we suggest letting the wall do the heavy decorative work:

• Balance the energetic splashes by pairing the wall with simple furniture shapes in crisp white, black, or light natural timber.
• Pick out one or two specific shades from the artwork, such as cobalt blue or warm ochre yellow, and repeat them sparingly in smaller cushions or desktop accessories to tie the space together.
• In modern or eclectic maximalist interiors, combine the graphic nature of the print with clean contemporary lighting and unpatterned textiles to keep the focus on the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around vivid, high-saturation tones, featuring rich red, warm orange, sun yellow, royal blue, and sky blue set against a crisp white backdrop. When selecting surrounding wall colours, a clean off-white or soft warm white keeps the room feeling bright and lets the colourful elements pop. If you prefer deeper contrast on adjacent walls or painted joinery, a deep navy blue picks up the darker paint drops, while a muted mid-tone grey provides a quiet, modern backdrop that balances the warm reds and yellows.
