Aurora wallpaper is a wall mural of the northern lights. It puts bands of green, teal and violet across your wall. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall.
Why Aurora Wallpaper Works in British Homes
Our daylight is soft and grey for months at a time. A dark, glowing mural gives a room something to look at when the weather will not. It suits the way we live here too, with lamps on from four in the afternoon. Under warm bulbs the ribbons of light lift. In Edinburgh, Newcastle and Manchester the long winter evenings make this an easy choice.
Rooms and House Types
Small Rooms and Box Bedrooms
A big sky adds depth to a small room. The wall stops reading as a hard edge. That is useful in a Victorian box room or a narrow London flat. Keep it to the wall behind the bed and leave the rest plain. A dark wall will not shrink the room, whatever you may have heard. Depth in the image is what counts, and a sky has plenty of it.
Renting and New Builds
Flat modern walls suit a full-bleed sky, as there is nothing to break it up. Renting in Bristol or Leeds? Take the peel and stick option. Our removable wallpaper range lifts off at the end of a tenancy without pulling the paint.
Lighting a Northern Lights Mural
Cool white bulbs flatten these murals. Warm bulbs and a dimmer bring the glow back. A lamp on the floor aimed up the wall works well too. Try it before you commit. Hold a sample up in the evening with the lamps on, because that is when you will really be looking at it. For more night sky designs, see our galaxy wallpaper collection.
- Bedrooms: the sky above the bed, other walls plain.
- Hallways: a dark space that gains most from a glow.
- Home offices: a calm backdrop for evening work.
- Children's rooms: a night scene that never gets old.

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.
