Wallpaper - Summer Stems V

In our Summer Stems V wallpaper, created by Beth Grove, a soft cornflower blue and white checkered bow takes center stage with a delicate watercolor look. Set against a quiet beige plaid background featuring fine grid lines and a gentle woven-looking texture, the composition brings a charming, handcrafted feel to the wall. The painterly shading on the ribbon adds depth without overwhelming the space, balancing vintage character with airy simplicity. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure that complements the artistic details.

In the room

We especially like this design in spaces where a gentle, nostalgic touch creates a welcoming atmosphere. It works beautifully across all four walls in a nursery or toddler room, where the rhythmic plaid provides a calm backdrop while the centered bow adds visual interest. In a dressing room, laundry room, or creative hobby room, we would consider placing it on an accent wall behind a vanity table or open shelving. Because the background plaid is quiet and low in contrast, the wallpaper can easily wrap around compact nooks or smaller wall sections without feeling busy.

Styling it

To complement the traditional cottage aesthetic, we suggest pairing this design with painted furniture in soft cream, warm off-white, or muted dove grey. The delicate check pattern balances nicely against simple, shaker-style cabinetry or beadboard panelling in a dressing space or kitchen corner. When choosing accents, lighter wood tones and brushed brass or porcelain hardware echo the classic French country influence. Keeping large furniture pieces simple in silhouette lets the artistic watercolor motif remain the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft cornflower blue, slate-grey wash tones, and crisp white, grounded by the warm neutral beige of the plaid grid. For surrounding painted walls or woodwork, we recommend gentle buttermilk tones, soft beige, or pale linen whites that reflect the background grid. If you want to introduce a touch of contrast, a muted slate blue or dusty duck-egg tone pulled directly from the ribbon details works well on doors, skirting boards, or window frames.
