Wallpaper - Verdigris and Melon II

Created by June Erica Vess, our Verdigris and Melon II wallpaper brings together fluid washes of jade, emerald, and soft celadon, punctuated by delicate accents of warm melon peach. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between sweeping, expressive brush marks and softer, atmospheric watercolor-like layers that let the light ivory background breathe. As a physical mural wallpaper, it offers an artistic, painterly presence that turns a wall into an expressive focal point without overwhelming the space. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and painterly composition, we see this wall mural working especially well on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full movement of the brushwork can unfold. In a living room, placing it behind a main sofa allows the green tones to anchor the seating zone while keeping the upper visual field light and airy. It also works beautifully in a bedroom behind a headboard or along a dining room wall, where the organic watercolor-inspired layers bring a relaxed, art-led character to the room. If your space receives plenty of natural daylight, the subtler transitions between the pale sage, jade, and soft peach tones become even more nuanced throughout the day.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest letting the artwork lead the visual energy of the room while keeping surrounding elements grounded and tactile.

• Pair with clean-lined furniture in light oak or blonde timber to maintain a fresh, contemporary balance with the green and melon tones.
• Introduce natural linen or woven wool upholstery in off-white, oatmeal, or soft stone to balance the lively movement of the painted strokes.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls quiet and minimal, allowing the wallpaper to remain the primary expressive surface in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on cool verdigris greens, teal accents, and soft celadon, warmed by muted peach and apricot touches over an off-white ground. For adjoining painted walls and architectural trim, soft alabaster, warm chalk white, or a very pale grey-green will create a calm, seamless transition. If you want to draw out the deeper tones of the artwork, consider incorporating deeper forest green or rich teal through smaller accent cushions or a side chair, while using muted terracotta or clay ceramics to gently echo the melon highlights.
