Wallpaper - Sun

Our Sun wallpaper, created by David Carter Brown, brings a distinctive folk art character to the wall with its smiling celestial motif. Radiating warm saffron, orange, and yellow tones, the central face is surrounded by soft orbs and a row of stylised miniature trees below. A decorative red and white checkered border frames the entire scene against a dark, textured background, giving the composition a graphic yet traditional Americana feel. Produced to order as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle physical paper structure, our design provides a bold focal point full of personality.

In the room

With its distinct framing and central motif, this design functions naturally as an accent wall. In a child’s bedroom, nursery, or playroom, we would place it along a primary wall where the smiling sun can anchor the space. The darker backdrop creates a strong contrast with the glowing yellows and oranges, allowing the design to hold its own in rooms with plenty of natural daylight as well as spaces lit with warm ambient lamps.

In a kitchen, dining room, or a relaxed cabin living area, we like giving this wall mural an open, central surface, such as behind a dining table or above low sideboard furniture. Because the artwork incorporates a framed border structure, keeping the surrounding wall area relatively uncluttered helps preserve the full visual balance of the composition.

Styling it

The traditional, folk-inspired style of the illustration pairs naturally with painted wooden furniture and unpretentious, classic interiors. We would lean into its warm Americana character by combining it with rustic timber pieces in honey pine or warm oak, which pick up on the saffron and earthy gold tones of the sun.

To keep the room balanced alongside such a graphic wallpaper, consider keeping surrounding upholstery and larger floor coverings simple and grounded. Smooth cottons, muted woollen throws, and simple architectural details let the playful narrative of the motif take centre stage without visual competition.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich saffron, golden yellows, and warm orange, balanced by crisp white and red in the border against a deep, dark ground.

When painting adjacent walls, woodwork, or trim, warm off-white or soft cream provides a clean, harmonious contrast that echoes the lighter accents in the border. If you prefer deeper surroundings, pulling out an earthy ochre or a muted, deep charcoal can create a cosy, wrapped feel that lets the sun's warm glow stand out.
