Wallpaper - Golden Isle

Designed by Melissa Averinos, our Golden Isle wallpaper brings a fluid, painterly landscape to life through loose watercolor washes and expressive pigment bleeds. Warm saffron orange and golden ochre tones dissolve into cool slate grey, smoky blue, and soft sage green, anchored against an airy, off-white background. The central horizontal composition captures the ethereal feel of a sunlit island or mountain rising from a calm horizon, complemented by circular sun-like accents and fine vertical drips that add delicate movement. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a tranquil focal point that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its sweeping horizontal flow and expansive negative space, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full composition has room to breathe. In a dedicated meditation room, art studio, or quiet home study, the balance of warm saffron and muted grey tones creates an atmosphere that feels grounded and serene.

The open space at the top and base of the artwork means the design does not overwhelm a room, making it equally fitting behind a low bed frame or along a main living room wall. Under shifting daylight, the translucent layers and granulated watercolor-like textures reveal subtle shifts in tone, while softer evening lighting brings out the rich warmth of the golden pigments.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern aesthetic of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing this design with simple furniture profiles and natural materials that echo its understated elegance. Low-slung seating, clean-lined cabinetry, and unadorned surfaces allow the artwork to remain the primary visual focus without competing for attention.

Light wood tones such as ash, birch, or pale bleached oak sit naturally alongside the warm saffron and cream elements of the print. To balance the airy lightness of the paper, consider introducing subtle dark accents through matte black metal lighting or understated iron hardware, grounding the fluid washes of grey and slate across the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by saffron orange, mustard yellow, and golden ochre, paired with charcoal, slate grey, muted watery blue, and soft ivory.

When choosing adjacent wall colours or surrounding textiles, a warm off-white or light bone shade creates a continuous, seamless transition from the background of the mural. For a more defined, grounding contrast in trims or surrounding joinery, muted slate greys or deep charcoal pick up the cooler pigments of the painted island motif beautifully.
