Wallpaper - Red and Olive Celebration

Our Red and Olive Celebration wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly floral motif to the wall, created by artist Shirley Novak. The design features bold white and vibrant orange flowers accented with rich splashes of red, set against a blended backdrop of warm dijon yellow, olive, and soft green tones. Visible, thick brushstroke textures give the floral forms visual depth, while dark olive stems create grounding vertical contrast across the composition. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, our wallpaper delivers a bright, artful presence that works beautifully on feature walls in living rooms, dining spaces, and bedrooms.

In the room

Because of the scale of the flowers and the painterly brushwork, we find this design works best when given an uninterrupted wall where the full composition can breathe. In a living room or dining room, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa, sideboard, or dining table keeps the energetic blooms in clear view. The warm yellow and olive background softens the vibrant reds and oranges, allowing the wallpaper to feel inviting across a larger feature wall without overwhelming the space. In a bedroom or guest room, we like placing it behind the headboard to establish a warm, cheerful focal point.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painting take center stage, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Mid-century modern or contemporary eclectic furnishings work particularly well with the expressive style.

Warm wood tones such as walnut or medium oak complement the dijon yellow and olive undertones in the background, anchoring the space with natural warmth. For surrounding accents and upholstery, lean into simple, tactile textiles like unbleached linen or matte cotton in neutral tones, which let the bold reds and oranges in the flowers provide the main decorative energy.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centers on warm dijon yellow, olive greens, and bright accents of red, orange, and crisp white. When choosing surrounding paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we suggest pulling from these background tones rather than the bright foreground petals.

A muted olive, warm ochre, or soft buttery cream on neighboring walls will create a cohesive, wrap-around feel that frames the mural naturally. If you prefer a lighter, more classic contrast, a warm off-white or soft linen shade lets the colorful floral forms stand out clearly while maintaining an inviting atmosphere.
