What Aurora Wallpaper Is
Aurora wallpaper is a wall mural of the northern lights. It prints those bands of green, teal and violet across your whole wall. Most designs set the sky over pine trees, snow or still water. The effect is calm rather than busy.
Giffywalls prints each mural to the exact size of your wall. The arc of light lands where you want it, not half cut in a corner. We print these skies most weeks. Buyers almost always go darker than they first plan, and they are right to.
Why an Aurora Wall Feels So Calm
The colors do the work. Green, teal and violet sit next to each other on the color wheel. Your eye reads that as one smooth wash, not a clash. The dark base helps too. Most of the wall is deep blue or near black, so the bright ribbons feel like light rather than paint.
There is a size trick here as well. A big sky gives a small room a sense of depth. The wall stops feeling like a wall. That is why these murals work so well in flats and box bedrooms.
Scenes in This Collection
Classic Northern Lights
Green ribbons over black pines and snow. Often a lake below, doubling the glow. This is the postcard version, and it is still the one people pick most.
Soft Watercolor Skies
No trees, no ground line. Just washed color drifting across the wall. These suit a nursery or a calm bedroom. Pick one if you want the mood without a scene.
Deep Space Blends
Here the aurora meets stars and a milky band of galaxy. Kids love these. So do teens. Our galaxy wallpaper range has more in that vein.
Rooms That Suit the Look
Bedrooms come first. A night sky above the bed is an easy sell. Home cinemas and games rooms work too, since dark walls help in both. So do hallways with no daylight, which most people write off. A glowing sky turns a dead corridor into the best bit of the house. Our space wallpaper range covers the same after-dark mood.
Colors and Decor to Build Around
Keep the rest of the room quiet. The wall is loud enough. Charcoal, navy, warm white and pale gray all work on the other three walls. Add warm wood so it does not feel cold. Brass or black metal beats chrome here. Skip bright accent colors. A red cushion will fight the sky and lose. For an open-plan home, our mountain wallpaper range pairs well in the next room.
Lighting Matters More Than Usual
These murals live or die by light. Harsh white bulbs flatten the glow. Warm bulbs, dimmers and low lamps bring it straight back. Try a wall light aimed up at the sky. In daylight the mural reads softer, which is fine. It is meant to be an evening wall.
Two more things worth knowing. These murals are printed, not coated, so the glow comes from color and contrast alone. Nothing lights up in the dark. Second, a north-facing room suits them better than most people guess. The cool daylight matches the palette, so the wall never looks out of place. In a very bright south-facing room, pick a design with more black in the base. It holds its depth through the middle of the day.
Sizing, Finish and Fitting
Send us your wall width and height. We scale the sky to match. Choose peel and stick if you rent or change your mind often. It is a removable wallpaper finish that lifts off without pulling paint. Choose paste the wall for a longer stay. One tip for dark murals. Deep colors show up dust and dents more than pale ones do, so wipe the wall down and fill any holes first. Panels arrive numbered, and shipping is free on every order.

Is aurora wallpaper good for a bedroom?
It is one of the best choices for sleep spaces. The palette of deep night blues with soft green and violet light sits at the restful end of the spectrum, and the mural reads as atmosphere rather than busy pattern, so the room stays calm.
Will the aurora gradient print smoothly at my wall size?
Yes. Each mural is printed to your exact wall width and height as one continuous design, so the gradients and light ribbons flow unbroken across panels with no misaligned seams or repeated sections.
Is an aurora mural too dark for a small room?
Not necessarily. The luminous greens and violets act like a light source within the design, giving small rooms depth rather than shrinking them. For very small spaces, choose a scene with a paler horizon or a watercolor-style gradient.
What decor pairs well with an aurora feature wall?
Warm woods, wool textures, and cream linens give a cozy cabin feel, while charcoal bedding and black frames push it modern. Pull one accent color from the mural, soft green or violet, into cushions or art to tie the room together.
Can renters use aurora wallpaper?
Yes. Choose the peel and stick finish. It is self-adhesive and removable, lifting off cleanly without damaging paint, so you can enjoy a northern lights wall in a rental and take the look down when you move.
