Wallpaper - Night Swim

Our Night Swim wallpaper by Jocelyn Elizabeth captures the movement and atmosphere of dark water under changing light. Set against a deep, near-black ground, expressive sweeps of oil paint bring together vibrant navy blue, clear pink, and crisp white, layered with warmer accents of orange and red. The dynamic brushstrokes give the composition a rich visual depth and an energetic rhythm that instantly draws attention. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle structure in the paper, this design is especially suited to contemporary living spaces and creative rooms where you want a confident artistic feature.

In the room

In a spacious living room, we see this working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa. Giving the large-scale abstract brushwork room to spread out allows the interplay of dark tones and saturated colours to emerge as the focal point of the room.

For a home office or art studio, our wallpaper brings an inspiring creative backdrop to a study wall or behind a desk. Because the background is deeply grounded while the foreground marks carry strong contrast, it works well in rooms with balanced natural light that can reveal the subtle tonal shifts within the darker blue and navy layers without losing the drama of the composition.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper set the artistic direction for the room while keeping the primary furniture relatively streamlined in shape. Contemporary silhouettes with clean, low profiles prevent the space from feeling visually overcrowded against such an expressive motif.

To balance the deep palette and vibrant highlights, pair the design with warm wood tones or painted dark charcoal finishes. Soft furnishings in solid, tactile textures like woven wool or matte cotton help ground the room, especially when chosen in quiet off-white, deep navy, or muted terracotta to echo the artwork's accent tones without competing with its movement.

Colour combinations

Our design builds on a foundation of deep navy and charcoal black, contrasted with energetic strokes of vibrant blue, soft pink, clean white, and flashes of orange-red.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, a warm off-white or soft muted grey creates a crisp, gallery-style frame that makes the colours in the mural stand out. Alternatively, embracing a more immersive mood with deep navy or charcoal paint on adjoining walls, architraves, and skirting boards lets the bright pink and orange brushstrokes appear to float from the surface.
