Wallpaper - Sun In Splendour

Our Sun In Splendour wallpaper, designed by Julia Dreams, brings a whimsical, celestial character to the wall with expressive suns, billowing clouds, and subtle astrological symbols. Set against an airy sky-blue ground, warm burnt-orange celestial suns with hand-drawn ink details are framed by lightning bolts, starry crescents, and soft cream clouds. The repeating pattern carries a charming retro spirit inspired by classic 1960s and 1970s illustrative art. Like all our wallpapers, this design is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, creating a decorative and distinct atmosphere in any home.

In the room

In a bedroom or teenage room, we love how the warm orange and dusty blue tones create a playful yet comforting rhythm across a main feature wall behind a headboard. The balanced scale of the repeat also makes it well suited to creative home offices, dressing rooms, and art studios, where the rich linework offers plenty of visual detail without overwhelming the space.

Because the composition combines larger sun motifs with lighter cloud formations and smaller starry elements, it works comfortably on both compact walls and wider, uninterrupted surfaces. In a powder room or hallway, wrapping the pattern around multiple walls gives the interior an immersive, storybook feel. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the crisp contrast between the blue sky and warm burnt orange becomes especially vivid.

Styling it

We suggest leaning into the design's retro revival feel by pairing it with mid-century inspired furniture or vintage accents. Warm wood tones such as teak, walnut, or honeyed oak complement the burnt-orange sun motifs beautifully, grounding the whimsical energy of the artwork.

To keep the room balanced, choose understated surrounding textiles like simple cream or oatmeal upholstery that echo the soft cloud illustrations. A few polished brass lighting fixtures or antique gilded mirrors will pick up the celestial theme nicely without competing with the ink-drawn pattern.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by a gentle sky-blue background balanced with rich burnt orange, golden yellow lightning accents, and soft cream clouds. Fine black ink linework brings clear definition to each element in the pattern.

When choosing paint colours for woodwork, ceilings, or adjacent walls, warm off-whites, muted cream, or soft parchment tones create a gentle transition that allows the wallpaper to take centre stage. For a slightly bolder look, deep terracotta or muted navy accents in surrounding furniture draw out the astrological depth of our mural wallpapers while keeping the overall palette cohesive.
