Wallpaper - The Bucket of List

Created by Tanja Smedh, our The Bucket of List wallpaper presents a whimsical and surreal composition where an upward-tilted face rests serenely inside an ornamental vessel. Cascading poppies and floral blossoms in coral red, warm orange, soft mauve, and purple rise around the figure, blending into an Art Nouveau-inspired background of flowing aquatic teal, mint, and cream swirls. The illustrative paint-drawing character brings a dreamlike, artistic narrative to the wall while celebrating expressive botanical forms. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle physical paper structure, this design brings an imaginative focal point into your interior.

In the room

Because of the strong central motif and horizontal floral spread, we like this design best on a primary feature wall where the complete composition can be seen without heavy obstruction. It works beautifully behind a bed in a bedroom, where the resting face and upward floral flow create an anchor behind a low headboard. In an art studio or dedicated meditation room, the expressive imagery sets a contemplative, imaginative tone. We recommend giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall so the surrounding organic curves and soft background gradients can expand naturally across the space.

Styling it

To let the illustrative detail of our wall murals take center stage, we suggest surrounding this design with low-profile furniture and restrained textures. Clean-lined modern pieces or vintage mid-century silhouettes in muted tones keep the visual weight balanced without competing with the detailed linework.

For surrounding accents, matte ceramic decorative pieces and smooth painted surfaces complement the painterly aesthetic of the artwork. If you introduce textiles, consider solid woven fabrics in neutral oat or soft peach rather than competing patterns, allowing the floral movement in the wallpaper to remain the clear visual highlight.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a rich palette of coral red, dusty purple, apricot, and lavender blossoms against soft teal, celadon green, and warm parchment tones in the background swirls.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, warm off-whites, creamy plaster tones, or muted stone shades provide a gentle frame that lets the artwork stand out. For a moodier, enveloping palette, pulling a deep teal or dusty plum from the floral petals onto adjacent walls or painted joinery ties the entire room together effortlessly.
