Wallpaper - Northern Light Watercolor

Our Northern Light Watercolor wallpaper blends soft washes of light blue, pink, warm orange, and sunshine yellow in an open, abstract composition by Lovisa Burfitt. The design has the visual character of fluid watercolor on textured paper, where gentle gradients dissolve naturally into one another across the surface. This creates an airy, luminous mood that brings artistic color to a room without feeling rigid or heavy. Like all our wall murals, it is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want color to feel soft and expansive. In a living room, it makes a striking backdrop behind a low sofa or along an open main wall, where the horizontal flow of the watercolor wash has room to unfold without interruption. In a home art studio or meditation room, the fluid transitions provide a visually calm, open atmosphere that feels inspiring without being distracting. Because the pattern relies on broad, sweeping color rather than a tight repeat, giving the mural a wider, less cluttered wall helps preserve the soft scale of the original artwork.

Styling it

The ethereal nature of this watercolor mural pairs naturally with minimalist, contemporary, and Scandinavian interiors. We would keep the surrounding furniture simple and low in profile so the color gradient remains the primary visual element in the space.

• Choose furniture with clean, unadorned silhouettes in light wood or soft painted finishes, allowing the airy hues on the wall to take center stage.
• Introduce understated, tactile fabrics like unbleached cotton or linen for upholstery and window treatments to mirror the soft, matte feel of the watercolor wash.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent surfaces to let the wall mural breathe and maintain a sense of calm visual balance throughout the room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a delicate palette of sunshine yellow, gentle sky blue, blush pink, and soft orange. When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or larger furniture, we suggest looking to the softer tints within the design itself. A warm off-white or creamy stone on adjoining surfaces helps the mural feel integrated into the architecture. If you prefer more definition, pulling out the warmer peach and pale terracotta tones in small decorative accents, or echoing the soft sky blue in surrounding textiles, creates a cohesive, thoughtfully balanced palette.
