Wallpaper - Swifts II Royal Blue

Created in collaboration with artist Danhui Nai, our Swifts II Royal Blue wallpaper captures the dynamic flight of a swift gliding through an open expanse of rich sky. The artwork features an expressive, painted look with painterly brushstrokes defining the bird’s outstretched wings, soft creamy underbelly, and delicate warm ochre and emerald head accents. Set against a deep, textured royal blue backdrop with subtle atmospheric clouding, this design brings an uplifting sense of height and natural movement to an interior. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We love this design on a main accent wall where the bird’s expansive wingspan and sweeping diagonal flight path have plenty of open space to breathe. In a living room or bedroom, positioning the mural on an uninterrupted wall, such as behind a low-profile sofa or headboard, allows the dramatic contrast between the royal blue sky and pale feathered tones to serve as an instant focal point.

Because the motif features a large, singular focal element surrounded by deep blue atmosphere, it also works remarkably well in rooms with standard or higher ceilings, drawing the eye upward and emphasizing vertical space. In a home office, dining room, or nursery, the rich blue creates an enveloping, grounded backdrop while the bird introduces a light, airy energy.

Styling it

To balance the bold presence of the deep royal blue backdrop, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture and accents that share its organic, artisanal feel without competing for visual attention.

• Ground the room with warm natural woods like walnut, teak, or honey oak, which naturally complement the warm ochre and tan tones in the bird’s plumage.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles relatively simple, using textured neutrals such as off-white, oatmeal, or cream to echo the pale feathers and soften the rich wall color.
• Introduce subtle brushed brass or antique bronze hardware and lighting fixtures to pick up the warm golden highlights of the artwork and add refined depth to the space.

Color combinations

The dominant royal blue and sky tones in the wallpaper provide a strong foundation that pairs effortlessly with both warm and cool palettes. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, consider soft warm whites, pale creams, or light linen tones to create a clean, intentional transition that lets the mural stand out.

For a moodier, more immersive interior, you can draw directly from the background by extending matching deep navy or royal blue across neighboring walls, millwork, or built-in shelving. If you want to introduce accent colors in surrounding decor, earthy terracotta, warm mustard, and subtle mossy greens will harmoniously connect with the swift's painterly feathers and facial markings.
