Wallpaper - La Gondola

Our La Gondola wallpaper captures a misty, ethereal view across the Venetian lagoon, photographed by Jan Becke. In this design, two rowers navigate a wooden boat through luminous aquamarine water, framed by wooden mooring poles and the faded, atmospheric silhouette of historic waterfront architecture in the distance. The composition is defined by expansive open water and a hazy sky, giving the scenic photography an understated, airy presence on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a wide panoramic horizon and soft atmospheric mist, we see this working particularly well across a larger, uninterrupted wall in a living room or bedroom. The composition has generous negative space in the upper half and foreground, which keeps the visual weight balanced even across an expansive accent wall. Placing it behind a low headboard or a streamlined sofa allows the boat, the wooden poles, and the distant architecture to remain clearly in view without feeling crowded by everyday furniture.

Styling it

To complement the tranquil, open feel of the Venetian seascape, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings simple and deliberate.

• Choose low-profile furniture with clean, modern lines so the horizontal span of the water and the distant skyline remain unobstructed.
• Incorporate warm, natural timber accents that echo the tone of the wooden rowing boat and weathered wooden poles, anchoring the cool tones of the water.
• Introduce soft, unpatterned fabrics in muted chalk or misty grey to maintain the quiet, uncluttered character of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft aquamarine blue and pale turquoise water, fading into misty off-whites and cool greys, with small accents of warm wood and dark silhouettes. For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-white, light cool grey, or pale misty blue work naturally alongside the background. If you want to introduce contrast through larger furniture or painted cabinetry, deeper slate blues or warm natural wood finishes balance the cool tones of the water without overwhelming the delicate atmosphere.
