Wallpaper - Strawberries and Zinnias

Our Strawberries and Zinnias wallpaper, created by Carol Rowan, presents a painterly country still life rich in warm colour and visual texture. At the centre of the composition, a bouquet of red, pink, and yellow zinnias stands in a dark vase against an exposed brick wall, balanced by a blue dish filled with fresh strawberries and a ripe peach. A light blue watering can and a straw hat tied with a red ribbon rest alongside on a wooden chair, lending a relaxed, pastoral charm to the scene. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the motif is composed as a complete, pictorial scene, we find this wall mural works best when given an uninterrupted wall where the full arrangement can unfold naturally. In a dining room or country-style kitchen, placing it along a main dining wall creates an inviting, welcoming focal point that anchors the surrounding space. The rich carmine reds and warm brick tones also make it a natural choice for an intimate living room, library, or study, particularly on a wall that receives soft, indirect daylight to highlight the delicate pastel tones in the petals and fruit.

Styling it

To let the painted detail and warmth of the composition stand out, we suggest keeping nearby furniture understated and grounded in traditional materials.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wooden furniture, such as a rustic farmhouse dining table or a classic timber console, to complement the wooden elements within the artwork.
• Introduce understated ceramic tableware or glazed pottery in muted cream or soft terracotta to echo the artisanal feel of the still life without competing with the central arrangement.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in simple, unpatterned fabrics, allowing the floral and fruit motifs on the wall to carry the primary visual interest.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a palette of carmine red, soft petal pinks, and sunny yellows, grounded by warm brick reds, earthy browns, and cool touches of sky blue. For adjacent walls and painted woodwork, we recommend soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or gentle sage greens that harmonize with the painted foliage. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper brick or carmine tones for trim or cabinetry creates a grounded, cohesive interior.
