Wallpaper - Pond in Sunlight

Our Pond in Sunlight wallpaper brings an expressive, modernist composition to the wall, based on the work of Arthur Garfield Dove. At the centre, a deep blue wave-like form rises within a sweeping yellow-green arch, flanked by two buoyant orange circles that anchor the composition with lively symmetry. Soft transitions of pale yellow, delicate blue, and gentle pink ground the lower section with fluid, watercolour-like brushstrokes. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural on paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an artistic focal point with rich movement and distinct 20th-century character.

In the room

Because the composition is built around large curving gestures and bold central forms, we find this wallpaper works best when given an expansive, uninterrupted wall where the full arc can unfold naturally. It makes an engaging backdrop for an art studio, creative workspace, or a dedicated meditation room, where the balance between fluid movement and soft background tones can be fully appreciated. In an open living room or dining space, placing this mural wallpaper behind low-profile seating keeps the primary visual rhythm unhindered by tall furniture.

Styling it

The distinct modernist geometry pairs naturally with contemporary and eclectic interior styles. We recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean in line to let the bold curves of the artwork lead the room. Low-slung painted pieces or warm wooden furniture in mid-century tones complement the organic shapes without introducing competing visual patterns. Upholstery in textured neutral weaves or smooth leather grounds the energetic forms nicely, while decorative accents can echo the rounded silhouettes seen throughout the painting.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on the dynamic contrast between deep blue, warm emerald greens, and vibrant pops of orange, supported by quiet washes of pale yellow and soft rose. When choosing colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, drawing out the muted background tones—such as a soft parchment, warm plaster pink, or gentle buttermilk—creates a cohesive, enveloping environment. If you prefer a stronger dialogue with the pattern, pulling a rich navy or deep olive green from the central motifs onto surrounding joinery frames the wallpaper with deliberate architectural definition.
