Wallpaper - Native Dance

Our Native Dance wallpaper, created by Shirley Novak, brings an energetic abstract composition filled with expressive motion to your interior. Swirling brushstrokes in vibrant aquamarine blue and rich deep blues form a fluid base, overlaid with rhythmic arcs of red, pink, crisp white, and deep black. The painterly visual texture features layered marks ranging from sweeping curves to dashed linework, creating an engaging sense of depth across the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure design on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a dramatic focal point that brings contemporary art into everyday spaces.

In the room

Because of its dynamic movement and dense composition, we think this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the swirling forms can be seen in their entirety. In a living room, placing it behind a main sofa anchors the seating zone while letting the vibrant palette energise the space. It also feels completely at home in an art studio or dedicated creative space, where the rich abstract layers provide an inspiring backdrop. In rooms with generous daylight, the contrast between the popping red accents and the layered turquoise and blue tones becomes particularly striking.

Styling it

To balance the visual intensity of the abstract motifs, we would pair this design with clean, contemporary furniture silhouettes. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, such as off-white, soft sand, or charcoal grey, lets the wallpaper take centre stage without overwhelming the room. Warm wood furniture, such as natural oak or mid-century teak, provides an organic grounding element that softens the cool tones of the blue background. Keeping decorative accessories simple, perhaps with matte black metal accents or quiet ceramic pieces, helps maintain a cohesive, considered feel.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built upon rich aquamarine blue, royal blue, and turquoise tones, energised by vivid red strokes, coral pink, crisp white, and black accents. When painting adjacent walls or selecting major textiles, soft warm whites and muted sandy neutrals create a fresh, balanced contrast that lets the blues sing. For a bolder, monochromatic scheme, a deep marine or petrol blue on surrounding woodwork creates an enveloping, dramatic atmosphere. If you want to highlight the warmer details, subtle terracotta or rust accents in cushions or throws will echo the red linework throughout the pattern.
