Wallpaper - Before the Spring II

In our Before the Spring II wallpaper, artist Silvia Vassileva brings together expressive brushwork and an abstract horizon that suggests land meeting an overcast sky. The lower half of the composition carries energetic strokes of sunflower yellow, orange, deep brown, and black, grounding the visual weight of the mural wallpaper. Above, the painterly marks transition into quieter layers of gray, beige, and soft white. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an artistic and textured character to your interior.

In the room

Because the composition divides naturally into a vivid, grounded base and an open, lighter upper section, we especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing it behind a lower-profile sofa allows the energetic yellow and dark earthy strokes to anchor the seating area while the cloudy tones drift upwards, preserving a sense of vertical height. In a quiet study or home library, the painterly oil-brush style gives the wall a contemplative presence without overwhelming the room. If your space receives changing natural daylight, you will notice how the warm sunflower tones catch the morning sun, while the cooler grays soften during the evening.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, abstract brushwork of this wallpaper, we recommend keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively understated in form and material.

• Choose furniture in warm, natural wood or clean painted finishes that let the textured marks remain the primary focal point of the space.
• Introduce tactile textiles in unpatterned wool, heavy woven fabrics, or matte cotton to echo the layered depth of the painted surface without competing for attention.
• Incorporate simple lighting elements with warm bulbs to highlight the richness of the earthy ochre and brown strokes.

Colour combinations

Our design centers on rich sunflower yellow, orange, earthy browns, and deep charcoal, balanced by cool slate gray, beige, and off-white in the upper composition. To build a cohesive room palette around these wall murals, draw upon the softer tones for adjacent walls, using warm stony beiges or pale atmospheric grays. If you prefer deeper contrast in surrounding woodwork or cabinetry, dark espresso browns and soft charcoal tones tie in naturally with the lower brushstrokes.
