Wallpaper - Color Burst

Our Color Burst wallpaper, designed by Silvia Vassileva, pairs expressive, gestural brushwork with an energetic floral composition. Vivid red poppies and earthy sage green leaves merge across the design, giving the artwork the fluid character of an expressive oil painting. What we particularly like is how the rich red tones command immediate attention while softer foliage softens the overall rhythm. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a vibrant, painterly focus to any interior.

In the room

Because of the expressive scale and lively movement in the brushwork, we see this working exceptionally well as a focal point in a dining room or living room. Giving the pattern a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping floral forms to breathe and show off their painterly depth. In smaller spaces, such as an entryway, powder room, or dedicated home office, using our mural wallpapers across an accent wall introduces warmth and personality without overwhelming the room. The rich red and earthy green tones create an engaging backdrop behind a dining table or low seating area, where the artistic details remain visible at eye level.

Styling it

To balance the dynamic energy of this floral design, we recommend pairing it with clean-lined furniture and grounded natural materials:

• Choose mid-toned or darker wood furniture, such as walnut or warm teak, to echo the earthy undertones of the foliage and provide visual stability against the lively red motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles in neutral, quiet fabrics to let the expressive oil-paint aesthetic remain the primary statement in the space.
• Introduce understated warm metal accents, such as aged brass lighting or hardware, which harmonise naturally with the warm red and botanical palette.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a vibrant base of saturated reds, terracotta nuances, and earthy sage greens. When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we suggest pulling directly from these earthy background notes. A muted sage or soft olive green on woodwork creates a seamless, garden-inspired connection to the leaves in the pattern. Alternatively, warm off-whites, soft biscuit tones, or gentle warm greys provide a quiet, framing contrast that lets the red poppies stand out crisply. For a bolder, more enveloping interior, a deep terracotta or muted russet creates a rich, cohesive tonal scheme.
