Wallpaper - Fresh Vessels II

Our Fresh Vessels II wallpaper by artist Julia Purinton captures a quiet still life composition of three distinct ceramic vessels resting on a pale tabletop. Set against a deep, textured grey backdrop, the painted scene balances an earthy tan vase on the left, a tall grey vase at the centre, and a rounded white pot on the right, each holding delicate green foliage. Painted with the soft, layered brushwork characteristic of oil paint, the artwork balances neutral brown, tan, grey, and cream tones with gentle leafy accents. Like all our wall murals, this design is printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an understated artistic mural for contemporary living spaces.

In the room

We see this still life mural wallpaper working particularly well on an accent wall in a dining room or living room where the vessels can form an inviting visual anchor. Because the motif is arranged horizontally across the lower half of the composition with ample space above, it sits comfortably behind low-profile furniture such as a dining sideboard, credenza, or low-backed sofa without losing the botanical detail. In a dining area, placing the mural along the main feature wall creates an intimate, considered atmosphere around the table. The deep grey background provides rich visual depth in rooms with ample natural daylight, while the neutral tones of the pottery stay grounded and warm in softer evening lighting.

Styling it

The organic modern aesthetic of this design pairs naturally with understated contemporary furniture and honest materials. We suggest combining this wallpaper with clean-lined timber pieces in natural ash, pale oak, or warm walnut, which echo the earthy browns of the painted earthenware. Keep surrounding decorative objects simple and sculptural, choosing matte ceramics, linen tableware, and unvarnished wood to maintain the calm, uncluttered balance of the still life.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is grounded in deep grey, warm tan, light brown, soft white, and muted leaf green. To complement the mural, we would draw out the neutral tones by painting adjacent walls in warm off-white, chalky beige, or soft pale grey. For trim and skirting, a warm ivory or bone tone keeps the edges soft, while deeper charcoal or deep espresso accents in furniture or frames can reflect the darker tones in the background.
