Wallpaper - Pond in Sunlight

Our Pond in Sunlight wallpaper brings an expressive abstract composition to life with fluid watercolour-like brushstrokes and striking modernist forms. Designed by Arthur Garfield Dove, the artwork centres around a deep, flowing dark blue wave framed by an arched yellow-green band. Two circular orange accents balance either side, set against a soft pale yellow backdrop that transitions into gentle blue and pink curves along the lower edge. We print our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, giving you a distinctive art piece created specifically for your wall.

In the room

Because of its painterly movement and bold focal geometry, we see this design working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the central arch and wave form can be appreciated in full. In a home art studio or creative study, it brings an imaginative, artistic energy without overwhelming the surroundings. The playful balance of shapes also makes it a wonderful fit for a dedicated meditation room, a bedroom accent wall behind a low headboard, or an open-plan living room where you want the wallpaper to serve as the visual anchor. Placing it on a wall that is not heavily obscured by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards allows the curved composition and open yellow background to breathe.

Styling it

The modernist character and rich palette of this wall mural invite thoughtful styling that complements its expressive nature:

• Choose simple furniture with clean, low profiles and warm mid-toned wood, keeping the lower half of the wall visible so the fluid curves remain in clear view.
• Balance the visual weight by pairing the mural wallpaper with restrained upholstery in unbleached neutral fabrics, letting the bold shapes take centre stage.
• Introduce one or two ceramic accents or tabletop pieces that subtly reflect the deep blue or popping orange tones to tie the room together.

Colour combinations

Our design combines rich emerald and yellow-green tones, deep navy blue, popping orange accents, and soft washes of pale yellow, pink, and light blue. Around the wall mural, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-white, light creamy stone, or a gentle muted sage. For woodwork, skirting boards, and window frames, a pale parchment shade creates a quiet border, while a deep navy accent on a painted sideboard or armchair echoes the central wave with confidence.
