Wallpaper - Dappled Light I

Created by June Erica Vess, our Dappled Light I wallpaper brings together an expressive composition of layered brushstroke shapes and soft abstract colour blocks. What we particularly like about this design is the fluid balance between cooler shades of slate blue, sky blue, and muted sage, warmed by gentle touches of pale coral, peach, and soft cream. The loose, painterly texture gives the mural a gentle visual rhythm without feeling rigid, making it a distinctive focal point in modern living spaces and bedrooms. Like all of our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

In an open living room or dining area, we would place this design on a broad, uninterrupted wall where the full abstract composition can unfold across the room. The horizontal and vertical sweep of the painterly blocks creates an open, airy backdrop behind a sofa or low sideboard. It also works wonderfully on a feature wall in a bedroom behind the headboard, where the calm interplay of soft blues and warm peach accents introduces colour without overwhelming the surrounding space. In rooms with plenty of daylight, the gentle variations between the deep slate blues, pale tints, and leafy greens become especially easy to appreciate.

Styling it

Because the artwork has a painterly, textured presence, we suggest balancing it with clean-lined furniture and simple, calm surfaces:

• Pair the mural with warm mid-tone woods like ash or natural oak, which highlight the subtle coral and peach strokes without competing with the blue tones.
• Choose understated upholstery in off-white, soft ecru, or oatmeal linen to keep the overall atmosphere relaxed and grounded.
• Introduce gentle matte black or blackened bronze accents in lighting fixtures or side tables to echo the darker indigo blocks within the design.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a rich yet soft palette of slate blue, sky blue, sage green, and soft indigo, accented with washes of pale coral, peach, and warm cream. To complement the mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing adjacent walls with a muted chalky off-white or a very pale grey-blue. If you want a more cocooning feel in a dining room or bedroom, colour-matching woodwork or trim to one of the deeper muted slate or sage green tones in the motif creates a cohesive, considered look.
