Wallpaper - Night Swim

Our Night Swim wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly energy into a room with dynamic brushwork set against a deep, near-black navy backdrop. Designed by Jocelyn Elizabeth, this abstract composition layers vibrant sweeps of blue, pink, and white with warm orange and red accents, giving the wall a sense of fluid movement and rich visual depth. The bold mark-making evokes the surface of dark water catching shifting light, creating a focal point that feels modern and distinctly artistic. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is made to measure to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it simple and straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its deep palette and expansive abstract motion, we particularly like this design on an accent wall where the full sweep of the brushstrokes can unfold without interruption. In a contemporary living room, it works naturally behind a sofa or along a main feature wall, anchoring the space with its dark ground while the saturated blues and warm reds keep the atmosphere animated. We also see our wall mural working exceptionally well in a creative home office or art studio, where the expressive oil-paint aesthetic provides an engaging backdrop behind a desk. In rooms with generous daylight, the layered details within the darker blues and oranges become much clearer, while softer evening lamplight deepens the contrast and gives the entire room an intimate, enveloping character.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive motif, we suggest balancing the fluid brushwork with clean, structured furniture silhouettes:

• Choose simple furniture with grounded profiles, such as low-slung seating or minimalist desks, so the bold abstract lines on the wall remain the primary focus of the room.
• Bring in warm wooden elements, such as teak, walnut, or smoked oak, to pick up the rich orange and red accents within the painting and add visual warmth to the space.
• Complement the deep blue and black backdrop with dark metal details or structured lamps that mirror the graphic weight of the wallpaper without adding competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by an almost black navy ground, punctuated by bold sweeps of cobalt blue, bright white, coral pink, warm orange, and accents of crimson. To create a cohesive look around the room, you could paint adjacent walls in a soft off-white or a muted warm grey, which lets the mural stand out crisply. Alternatively, pairing it with deep navy woodwork or matching trim creates a dramatic, wraparound feel where the artwork emerges seamlessly from the darker architecture. For upholstery and decorative pieces, drawing out the burnt orange or dusty pink tones creates a sophisticated link between your furniture and the wall.
