Wallpaper - May Maidens

Our May Maidens wallpaper brings the energetic charm of an expressive floral still life into the home. Created in collaboration with artist Pamela Munger, the design centers on a rounded vase overflowing with painterly blossoms, blending rich magenta, soft pink, sunny yellow, and muted violet with vibrant leafy greens. Visible, impressionistic brushstrokes give the floral arrangement a fluid sense of motion and artistic depth against a light, airy background. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper, each piece is printed on PVC-free material with a subtle paper texture that complements the visual depth of the artwork.

In the room

Because of its painterly composition, May Maidens makes an engaging focal point in a dining room, living room, or bedroom. We like using this wall mural on a main, uninterrupted wall where the full bouquet and its delicate background washes can be seen without heavy visual obstruction. In a dressing room or guest room, placing the design behind a bed frame or low console allows the upper blooms and lively foliage to draw the eye upward, giving smaller spaces a fresh, open atmosphere.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork of the wallpaper remain the central focus, we suggest balancing the room with clean silhouettes and understated furnishings.

• Pair the design with warm wood tones, such as honeyed oak or mid-tone walnut, to echo the organic warmth in the botanical stems.
• Introduce neutral upholstery and woven textiles in unbleached cotton or soft wool to ground the lively color palette without competing for attention.
• Incorporate simple ceramic or matte stoneware decorative accents that mirror the rounded shape and quiet presence of the vase depicted in the motif.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a rich and uplifting palette anchored by fresh leafy greens, deep magenta, warm yellow, and powdery blush, all resting on a soft off-white backdrop. For surrounding walls, we recommend soft cream, pale ivory, or a gentle moss green to maintain a continuous, airy look. If you want to create a more grounded interior, deep plum, muted berry tones, or earthy ochre on painted woodwork and accent furniture will pull directly from the floral accents.
