Wallpaper - The Sanctuary Dark

Created by Kellie Day, our Sanctuary Dark wallpaper brings together expressive floral forms across a textured, painterly background. Stylised blooms in coral, vivid orange, deep red, and soft pale yellow rise on slender, sweeping stems against a cool, layered sky-blue and white backdrop. Collage-inspired visual details, text fragments, and impasto-style brushwork give the composition a distinctive artistic character with rich surface depth. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this mural wallpaper creates an inviting, expressive focal point in any room.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bedroom or living room where the expansive horizontal composition has space to unfold. Because the blooms rise upwards on delicate, fluid stems against an airy backdrop, placing the design on a main feature wall behind a bed or low-backed sofa keeps the visual weight balanced. The open spacing between each flower ensures the pattern never feels overcrowded, allowing it to anchor an entryway or hallway wall without overwhelming the area.

Styling it

To let the expressive flowers take center stage, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Warm wood finishes such as light oak or honeyed tones echo the golden orange and coral petals, grounding the artwork nicely. Woven textiles in neutral creams or unbleached tones provide a quiet base, while small decorative accents in terracotta or muted red tie into the vibrant blooms.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant mix of coral, bright orange, crimson, and pale butter yellow set against cool pale blue, slate, and chalky white. When choosing surrounding wall colors or woodwork, soft off-whites, misty cool greys, or muted powder blues complement the background and allow the warm petals to stand out. If you prefer a richer palette, deep rust or terracotta on adjacent surfaces creates a warm and cohesive contrast.
