Wallpaper - Verdigris and Melon I

Our Verdigris and Melon I wallpaper by June Erica Vess brings an airy, expressive presence to the wall with its fluid wash of soft verdigris, seafoam greens, muted sage, and subtle hints of melon pink. Broad translucent brushstrokes and energetic pencil lines give the composition an abstract, painterly character, layered over an open, luminous off-white ground. We love how the denser teal and green focal point softens outwards into light, feathery marks, creating a balanced sense of movement without overwhelming the room. Made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it works beautifully as an artistic statement in contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because of the fluid, painterly composition and generous negative space around the edges, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full movement of the artwork can unfold. In a living room behind a low-backed sofa, or in a bedroom behind a headboard, the central concentration of rich verdigris naturally anchors the space while the lighter edges blend easily into adjacent walls.

The design also suits open-plan dining spaces and calm home study areas where you want an expressive focal point that remains visually open and light. The wash-like transparency of the tones means the pattern feels expansive rather than heavy, making it an appealing choice for rooms with good natural daylight, where the subtle tonal shifts between sage, pale melon, and deeper turquoise really come alive.

Styling it

When styling around Verdigris and Melon I, we suggest leaning into clean-lined furniture with understated silhouettes so the wallpaper retains its status as the primary artwork in the room. Low-profile contemporary seating, slim-framed shelving, and minimalist lighting allow the sweeping marks of the mural to breathe.

To ground the softer pastel tones, we like combining this design with pale, natural wood tones such as ash or light oak, alongside subtle matte black or brushed metal accents for contrast. Keep larger upholstery and curtains in quiet, textured neutrals so the energetic brushwork remains the focal point of the interior scheme.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on cool verdigris, deep teal, and soft leafy greens, warmed by pale melon peach and grounded by creamy, off-white undertones. When painting surrounding walls or choosing larger furnishings, you can pull directly from these shades to create a cohesive setting.

• Soft chalky whites and warm off-whites on neighbouring walls keep the overall atmosphere light and seamless.
• Muted sage or pale seafoam creates a gentle, tonal wrap-around feel across trim or cabinetry.
• Muted terracotta, pale peach, or warm blush accents in cushions or ceramics pick up on the delicate melon touches within the artwork.
• Charcoal or deep forest green elements add depth and crisp contrast against the lighter background.
