Wallpaper - Chasing Color

Our Chasing Color wallpaper by artist Shirley Novak captures the painterly energy of blooming poppies through expressive, textured brushstrokes. Vibrant blossoms in sunflower yellow, warm orange, and white rise against a vivid blue ground, with loose green stems and buds anchoring the floral composition. The oil-paint look gives the floral motif a lively, spontaneous character with plenty of visual depth. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the scale of the flowers and the rich contrast between the vivid blue backdrop and the warm blossoms, we like this design best on an accent wall where the full painted scene has room to unfold. In a living room, it works wonderfully behind a low sofa, giving the room an expressive artistic focal point without competing with high shelving or wall-hung cabinetry. In a dining room, our mural wallpapers bring a warm, inviting presence around a dining table, where the sunflower yellows catch both daylight and softer evening dinner lighting.

Styling it

The rich oil-painting aesthetic pairs naturally with an eclectic or contemporary interior where color is welcomed rather than muted. We would balance the energetic floral pattern with grounded furniture pieces in warm mid-tone woods or simple painted finishes, keeping silhouettes relatively clean so the wall remains the primary artwork. For textiles and surrounding accents, choosing quiet neutrals or pulling in subtle touches of ochre and deep blue keeps the space feeling curated and intentional rather than busy.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around sunflower yellow, warm orange, and soft white set directly against a deep, vibrant blue, with accents of leafy green along the stems. For surrounding walls and woodwork, soft off-whites or creamy warm neutrals allow the rich background blue to stand out crisply. If you prefer a bolder, color-drenched approach, deep navy or slate blue paint on adjacent walls or trim creates a seamless, enveloping extension of the wallpaper's rich backdrop.
