Wallpaper - Summer Days

Created by Kathy Ferguson, our Summer Days wallpaper brings together an abstract collage composition built from layered horizontal bands, mixed painted textures and playful graphic details. Shades of ocean blue, cornflower, lavender, soft grey and off-white establish a breezy, coastal mood, enlivened by occasional accents of cherry red, dotted patterns and crosshatched markings. The layered strips give the visual impression of torn paper and mixed-media collage, offering plenty of artistic nuance across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings contemporary creative character into the home.

In the room

We love how the horizontal rhythm of Summer Days naturally guides the eye across a space, making it a striking choice for a feature wall in a living room, bedroom or dedicated home office. Because the artwork relies on layered collage textures and varying horizontal bands, it performs especially well on wider, uninterrupted walls where the full movement of the composition has room to unfold. In a dining area or hallway, the balanced interplay of deep blue tones and airy pastel washes adds visual depth without overwhelming the surrounding architecture.

Styling it

To let the expressive qualities of the collage stand out, we suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with clean-lined contemporary or mid-century furniture. Light wood tones such as ash or natural oak resonate beautifully with the softer paper tones in the design, while simple black metal frames or architectural accents help ground the bolder indigo bands. Keep surrounding textiles relatively simple; smooth woven fabrics, neutral upholstery and understated wool rugs allow the lively dots and textural layers of the wallpaper to remain the focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork is grounded in a refreshing palette of cobalt blue, soft periwinkle, lavender-grey, crisp white and cream, accented by small pops of bright red. When choosing colours for adjoining walls, woodwork or larger furnishings, we recommend pulling out the lighter off-whites or soft greys to keep the room feeling light and spacious. For a more dramatic and cohesive look, deep navy or ink blue on adjacent surfaces or cabinetry can echo the darker collage ribbons, while small decorative accents in coral or red can subtly pick up on the playful dots within the motif.
