If you love to embrace lots of colour and enjoy abstract art, we would definitely suggest something like this Fooling Around wall mural designed by our colour expert Shandra Smith. All Shandra’s designs are vibrant, colourful and unique. She says that her work cannot be categorised into a certain style, “I don't want to live inside a box, and neither does my work.”

Nowhere near as bright as a rainbow wallpaper, this gorgeous Dynasty Fishes and Dishes, designed by our talented Julia Fonnereau, is more subtle in colour but certainly not in presence.

The way in which the golden koi fish have been illustrated makes it appear they are swimming across the wall! We adore the range of colours in this intricately drawn blue colour wallpaper: golds, oranges, terracottas… All are warming and enriching for the soul.

4. Colorful smoke background murals

When you see this fabulous Vision of Abstract Landscape wallpaper, it’s clear to see how colour in interiors is transformative. Prior to adding this colorful smoke background, this room was lacking in character. Now, with this fabulous rainbow wallpaper, this minimalist green and grey lounge has been brought to life!

Annette Schmucker is certainly one of our masters of colour. Her collection of abstract city paintings is invigorating. Some embrace all the colours of the rainbow whilst others revel in moody blues and purples or autumnal reds and oranges.

This multicoloured wallpaper, named Blue City, is one of our favourite of Annette’s paintings. The more you look, the more colour you see.

7. Beautiful liquid colours

There is something so beautiful about our Colourful Ink in Water wallpaper. An extremely popular choice amongst our customers, this stunning multicoloured wallpaper has captured the flowing beauty of ink dropping into water or the movement of smoky incense as it swirls in the air.

This fantastic color splash wallpaper is ideal for a home office or study. Whilst creating a calming ambience in this desk area, the reds and yellows are highly energising. Both factors are the perfect combination for a work or study area where staying motivated but remaining calm are key.

8. Tropical coloured wallpapers

Colourful backgrounds in the home really do bring colour into your life. And this gorgeous Tropical Paradise wallpaper is no exception. Designed by Andrea Haase, this beautiful jungle wallpaper comes from her wide collection of bright tropical wallpapers.

We recommend two ways of styling an exotic jungle wallpaper: keep the room minimal by choosing only white and gold such as the room above. Or go maximalist by adding a wide selection of contrasting patterns and colours. Choose animal print and zig-zag room accessories and bring out the colours in the design in your choice of décor such as pink curtains and a green sofa!

9. Colourful wallpapers with abstract palette knife art

Mainly crafted with a palette knife and oil paints, you can enjoy a wide selection of eye-catching wallpapers in Leonid Afremov’s depictions of landscapes and city scenes. Abundant with colour and texture, these beautiful works of art will utterly transform any room. Not only this, but these colourful backgrounds will make a great discursive piece for when you have friends over to wine and dine!

10. Mesmerising geode colourful wallpapers
