Wallpaper - Picnic Spot

Created by artist Laura Horn, our Picnic Spot wallpaper brings expressive movement to the wall through sweeping, gestural brushstrokes in blush pink, magenta, and creamy white. Broad layered arcs sweep across a textured background of earthy ochre, warm beige, and muted teal, punctuated by delicate geometric linework, fine scratchings, and subtle pattern marks. This made-to-measure design has an energetic yet harmonious visual balance, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture that gives painted abstract artwork an authentic presence in any room.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and sweeping gestural forms, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, creative studio, or open-plan living area. Giving the mural an uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping curves and layered background textures to be seen in full, creating an engaging focal point without requiring decorative clutter around it. In an art studio or study, placing the wallpaper behind low shelving or a simple work desk keeps the upper composition open to catch natural light throughout the day, where the subtle contrast between warm ochres, deep pinks, and cool teal marks remains clear and dynamic.

Styling it

The lively, eclectic character of this wallpaper pairs naturally with contemporary and mid-century modern furniture shapes that have clean, considered silhouettes. We would recommend balancing the painterly energy on the walls with understated, low-profile furniture so the artwork remains the primary visual statement in the room.

Warm, natural wood finishes such as light oak, ash, or honey-toned teak ground the vibrant blush and berry tones nicely. When selecting upholstery and larger floor coverings, neutral woven textiles in oatmeal, unbleached linen, or soft biscuit create a calm foundation that lets the dynamic layers of the mural breathe.

Colour combinations

Our Picnic Spot wallpaper is built around a palette of blush pink, deeper magenta, creamy white, warm beige, and ochre, with subtle accents of muted teal. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-white, pale biscuit, or muted stone create a seamless, cohesive background. For spaces where you want a bolder interior scheme, drawing out the deeper berry tone or the soft teal for painted skirting boards, doors, or accent furniture creates a deliberate, design-led dialogue with the wallpaper.
