Wallpaper - Balloon Glow

Our Balloon Glow wallpaper brings an expansive open sky into the home, capturing dozens of colourful hot air balloons drifting above a rugged rocky horizon. Photographed by Barry Van Wagner, the composition balances the soft, luminous expanse of a pale blue morning sky with vibrant accents of orange, red, blue, and warm glowing tones emerging from within the balloons. The gentle vertical rhythm of the ascending shapes creates a sense of open perspective and quiet energy across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and easy to live with.

In the room

We see this photographic design working exceptionally well in a living room, hallway, or staircase where the open horizon can naturally expand the perceived depth of the room. On a wider, uninterrupted living room wall behind a low sofa, the full breadth of the landscape has space to unfold without key elements being hidden. In a hallway or stairwell, the vertical ascent of the hot air balloons echoes the upward movement of the space, giving passing areas an airy, uplifting feel. Because the lower portion carries grounded rocky textures while the upper section remains open and light, the wallpaper naturally anchors furniture below while keeping the upper eye-line clean and spacious.

Styling it

To let the panoramic perspective and vivid balloon colours take centre stage, we suggest pairing this wall mural with understated furniture and clean silhouettes. Low-profile seating in soft neutral tones or light-finished timber keeps the horizon line unobstructed, allowing the full scenic composition to breathe. Introducing subtle warm accents through a rust-toned throw, an ochre cushion, or brushed warm metal lighting can gently pull out the glowing tones of the illuminated balloons without competing with the vast blue sky.

Colour combinations

The backdrop of this design is defined by soft sky blue, balanced by earthy grey and stone tones across the lower landscape, with energetic pops of orange, deep red, and warm amber in the balloon envelopes. For surrounding painted walls, we recommend muted off-whites, pale chalky greys, or a very light sky tint that lets the boundary between wall and mural soften. If you prefer a richer contrast on adjacent surfaces, a grounded slate grey or deep terracotta drawn directly from the landscape and balloon highlights creates a balanced, cohesive backdrop.
