Wallpaper - Gondolas Ready

Our Gondolas Ready wallpaper captures a quiet morning along the Venetian lagoon, photographed by Jan Becke. Moored gondolas gently rock in the turquoise and navy water in the foreground, framed by weathered wooden piers and lanterns, while the historic island of San Giorgio Maggiore rests peacefully across the water beneath a warm dawn sky. The wide panoramic composition brings a rich architectural depth and tranquil horizon to your interior. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We see this photographic mural working particularly well across a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room. The horizontal panoramic view naturally opens up the space, drawing the eye across the calm lagoon and into the distant Venetian architecture. It also suits a relaxed dining area or a holiday home sitting room where you want to create a grounded, serene atmosphere. Because the lower half of the composition features the darker gondolas and textured water while the upper portion opens into soft sky, positioning low-profile furniture along the wall keeps the distant landmarks and skyline in full view.

Styling it

To complement the classic Venetian setting, we suggest pairing this design with understated, timeless furnishings rather than busy patterns. Low-backed seating in warm grey, neutral linen, or soft charcoal allows the mural to take centre stage. Natural dark or weathered timber echoes the wooden mooring poles and jetties shown in the photograph, while subtle brass accents in lighting or hardware mirror the warm tones of the morning sunrise.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on deep navy, rich turquoise, and dark charcoal tones in the water and boats, balanced against warm peach, amber, and pale cream in the sky. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend soft warm whites, muted biscuit tones, or gentle sandy greiges to pick up the morning light in the background. If you prefer a richer aesthetic, a deep navy or dark slate blue on surrounding trim creates a striking, cohesive continuation of the water in the foreground.
