Wallpaper - Antique Paisley

Our Antique Paisley wallpaper, created by artist Silvia Vassileva, brings together classic heritage motifs with the expressive, painterly character of an oil painting. Flowing teardrop boteh motifs, palmette-inspired florals, and swirling scrollwork sweep across a warm, antiqued sand background. Earthy ochre, terracotta red, and muted slate blue accents emerge from the textured-looking canvas backdrop, giving the pattern an artistic, weathered warmth. Like all our wall murals, this made-to-measure wallpaper is printed PVC-free on paper with a subtle physical structure, making it straightforward to hang while creating an inviting, artistic focal point in your home.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully on a prominent wall in a dining room, living room, or welcoming entrance hall. Because the composition features sweeping, large-scale ornamental curves and rich pictorial detail, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the movement of the artwork to unfold naturally. In a dining area, it forms an atmospheric backdrop behind a dining table, where ambient evening light highlights the warm ochres and earthy tones. In an entryway or living space, the mural wallpapers format transforms an accent wall into a painterly statement that immediately sets a warm, characterful mood.

Styling it

To let the artistic qualities of the wallpaper take center stage, we suggest surrounding it with furniture that carries classic proportions without competing for visual attention.

Warm wood pieces, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or aged oak, echo the golden sand undertones of the mural and anchor the traditional feel of the room. Upholstery in understated natural woven fabrics, such as soft oatmeal or muted flax, keeps the seating calm, allowing the swirling paisley motifs to remain the focal point. For decorative hardware and lighting, antiqued brass or patinated bronze fixtures naturally mirror the historic Rococo and heritage influences within the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a warm sand and aged parchment base, enriched with layers of earthy mustard yellow, rustic terracotta, burnt orange, and touches of dusty slate blue and teal.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, and ceilings, we recommend pulling from these warm underlying tones:

• Soft biscuit, parchment, or creamy ivory on adjacent walls to keep the surrounding space bright while harmonising with the background canvas.
• Muted terracotta or rich ochre on architectural trim, skirting boards, or doors to draw out the deeper ornamental brushstrokes.
• Deep slate blue or soft muted teal in accent pieces and soft furnishings to pick up the cool floral details in the artwork.
