Wallpaper - While You Were Blooming

Created in collaboration with artist Maggie Sackmann, our While You Were Blooming wallpaper translates an impressionist oil painting into an expressive landscape for the wall. The composition captures a field of vivid red poppies tapering off toward a soft, hazy horizon, balancing rich, earthy undertones with luminous floral accents. Broad, visible brushwork gives the scene painterly depth and movement without feeling overly busy. Produced custom to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, grounded atmosphere to spaces where you want wall murals to take center stage.

In the room

In a living room or dining room, we would give this landscape an uninterrupted wall where the full horizon line and sweeping meadow can unfold naturally. The horizontal spread of the painting works exceptionally well behind a low-profile sofa, a credenza, or a dining table, anchoring the seating area without competing with tall cabinetry. For a bedroom or private study, placing the mural on the main headboard wall or behind a desk creates an intimate, enveloping backdrop. The contrast between the deep earthy terrain and the glowing floral tones makes the scene feel warm in softer evening lighting, while daytime daylight highlights the subtle variations in the painted brushstrokes.

Styling it

Because the artwork carries significant color presence and expressive texture, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and understated.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, natural wood finishes like walnut, teak, or aged oak to echo the grounded earth tones in the lower meadow.
• Choose upholstered seating in quiet neutrals such as warm cream, taupe, or deep olive to let the vibrant red florals remain the focal point.
• Incorporate matte ceramic accents or patinated metals like antique brass to complement the painterly, fine-art character of the mural.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on deep botanical greens, warm soil browns, and glowing poppy reds set beneath a pale, atmospheric sky. To build a cohesive palette around the design, we suggest pulling from the softer horizon tones for adjacent painted walls, using muted off-white, light warm grey, or pale putty. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, consider deep moss green or warm terracotta for woodwork, interior doors, or built-in shelving.
