Wallpaper - Northern Light Watercolor

Our Northern Light Watercolor wallpaper, created by Lovisa Burfitt, brings together soft washes of light blue, pink, orange, and sunshine yellow in a fluid, abstract composition. The gentle transitions between the tones evoke the visual character of layered watercolor on textured paper, giving the design an airy, painterly quality. Because the movement flows naturally across the surface without a rigid repeat, the motif creates an open, luminous backdrop that feels expressive yet light. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that complements the painterly aesthetic.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, where the expansive colour gradient has space to unfold across an uninterrupted surface. In a home art studio or a dedicated meditation space, the abstract wash creates an inspiring, uncluttered visual rhythm that does not overwhelm the room. The soft balance between cooler blues and warm sunshine yellows responds beautifully to daylight, revealing delicate tonal shifts throughout the day and taking on a warmer, intimate feel under softer evening lighting.

Styling it

To let the abstract watercolor artwork remain the visual anchor of the space, we would pair it with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in pale or neutral finishes. Simple silhouettes allow the organic movement of the motif to stand out without visual competition.

In terms of materials, matte painted surfaces, soft unpatterned upholstery, and light wood furniture complement the airy nature of the design. Keeping surrounding decorative objects restrained and sculptural helps maintain a modern, uncluttered look that enhances the painting's fluid energy.

Colour combinations

The design centres on verified tones of light blue, delicate pink, warm orange, and bright sunshine yellow. To build a cohesive palette around the wall, we recommend drawing on quiet off-whites or soft greys for adjoining walls, woodwork, and ceilings. For accent pieces or smaller furnishings, pulling subtle terracotta, blush pink, or warm amber from the wallpaper creates a harmonious link without competing with the main feature wall.
