Wallpaper - Iceland Patch

In our Iceland Patch wallpaper, created by Shirley Novak, a delicate field of watercolor poppies and wildflowers rises in soft, fluid brushstrokes against a crisp white backdrop. Slender green stems lift blooms in shades of cherry red, warm orange, pink, yellow, and white, with subtle color gradients giving each petal a light, painterly quality. The generous negative space around the floral stems keeps the composition feeling open and airy rather than crowded. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper, our PVC-free paper features a subtle surface texture that complements the hand-painted character of the artwork.

In the room

We particularly like this design in rooms where you want to introduce vibrant floral color without overwhelming the sense of space. Because the blooms grow upward from slender stems against a clean white ground, the pattern adds vertical height and visual lightness. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully across the wall behind the headboard, framing the bed with botanical detail while leaving the upper portion of the wall feeling clear and bright. In a living room or dining area, placing this wallpaper on a wide, well-lit accent wall gives the complete meadow composition room to breathe. The open layout also makes it a cheerful choice for a nursery, playroom, or home office, where the varied watercolor hues bring energy without dominating smaller wall sections.

Styling it

To balance the lively palette of the wildflowers, we suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture grounded and relatively simple in form. Mid-century or contemporary Scandinavian pieces with clean silhouettes work particularly well, allowing the painted floral forms to take center stage.

Lighter natural wood finishes, such as pale ash or natural oak, pair naturally with the botanical greens and warm petal tones. For surrounding soft furnishings and upholstery, neutral woven textiles in cream, unbleached linen, or soft off-white help maintain the airy balance of the white background, while a solid cherry red, mustard yellow, or coral accent cushion can tie the room directly back into the floral colors.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a bright, expressive palette of cherry red, soft orange, blush pink, sunny yellow, and clean white, grounded by slender stems and leaves in leafy green and deeper forest tones.

When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, a soft off-white or warm cream creates a seamless, natural transition with the wallpaper's white ground. If you prefer more contrast on painted doors, window frames, or skirting, an olive or muted sage green echoes the stems and anchors the lower half of the wall. For a bolder, design-led accent on surrounding painted elements or furniture, drawing directly from the cherry red or warm ochre creates a confident, cohesive look.
