Wallpaper - Spring Awakening

Created by artist Maggie Sackmann, our Spring Awakening wallpaper captures the gentle shift of seasons through broad, impressionistic brushstrokes and soft, diffused light. The composition transitions from airy, pale blue and mist-grey tones across the upper expanse down into dabs of blush pink, soft peach, and warm butter yellow, grounded by deep olive, moss, and sage green brushwork along the lower half. The painterly horizontal motion gives the artwork a fluid landscape feel without depicting literal scenery. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We find that this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well as a calming focal point across larger, uninterrupted wall areas. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard allows the deeper green brushstrokes to anchor the base of the room while the lighter sky tones visually lift the upper wall. The atmospheric horizontal brushwork also makes it well suited to a living room, dining room, or a dedicated study, where the soft pastel transitions bring color into the space without overpowering surrounding architectural elements. Because the motif is open and abstract rather than tightly repeated, it can comfortably handle larger wall surfaces where the full sweep of the brush marks can be appreciated from a distance.

Styling it

To balance the soft, painterly character of the design, we suggest pairing it with clean, understated interior shapes. Low-profile furniture in light or warm wood tones, such as pale ash or natural oak, lets the varied pastel tones of the artwork take center stage. For surrounding soft furnishings, simple woven textures in neutral ecru, washed linen, or muted cream complement the fluid paint marks without competing for attention. Keeping decorative accessories relatively quiet and sculptural helps preserve the calm, artistic presence of the wall.

Colour combinations

The design itself features an evocative mix of sage, moss, and deep olive greens balanced by delicate blush pink, soft peach, light yellow, and hazy sky blues. When choosing colors for adjacent painted walls, woodwork, or built-in elements, we recommend drawing directly from the softer notes in the wallpaper. A muted chalky white or pale linen tone on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling bright and open, while a soft sage or warm grey trim can subtly frame the mural and echo the deeper green layers at its base.
