Wallpaper - Sunrise Thoughts

Our Sunrise Thoughts wallpaper, created in collaboration with Veronique Charron, captures the serene optimism of dawn over the water through graphic collage shapes and illustrative marks. A radiant sun with radiating rays rises above layered horizontal bands representing the horizon and rhythmic sea waves. Sunshine yellow and warm coral tones meet seafoam, teal, and soft off-white, enlivened by dashed and dotted surface textures. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, it brings an uplifting, artistic presence to any interior.

In the room

Because of its bold composition and sweeping horizon lines, we see this design working beautifully as an accent wall in a nursery, playroom, or child's bedroom. The lower bands of seafoam and teal anchor the base of the room, while the rising yellow sun naturally draws the eye upward, giving smaller spaces a sense of height and open atmosphere.

In a living room or summer house, the mural wallpapers format provides an expressive alternative to traditional repeating patterns. We suggest placing it along an uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa or credenza so that the gentle rhythm of the dashed waves and the full expanse of the sun remain visible across the space.

Styling it

To complement the graphic folk-art feel of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-profile pieces in light natural timber, such as birch or pale ash, sit naturally alongside the earthy yet vibrant tones of the print.

Soft textiles in muted off-white, unbleached cotton, or pale terracotta echo the hand-drawn marks without competing with the illustration. Pairing the mural with clean, contemporary silhouettes allows the playful shapes to serve as the main focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on sunny yellow, soft coral pink, muted teal, and refreshing seafoam set against an off-white background.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a gentle chalky white or warm cream creates a clean, seamless transition that keeps the room bright. For a slightly bolder look, drawing out the dusky coral or soft blue-green on skirting boards, shelving, or accent cushions creates a cohesive, thoughtfully curated palette throughout the room.
