Wallpaper - Spring Awakening

Our Spring Awakening wallpaper by Maggie Sackmann brings an impressionistic landscape to life through sweeping, painterly brushwork and a luminous pastel palette. At the top, hazy strokes of pale blue and soft grey suggest an open, overcast sky, dissolving into a central field of blush pink, peach, and buttercup yellow that evokes spring blossoms catching the morning light. Grounding the lower half are deeper sage, moss, and forest greens blended with reflective pool-like touches. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an airy, artistic presence that enriches modern interiors with painterly depth.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully as an expressive feature wall in a bedroom behind the headboard or across an expansive living room wall. Because the composition has a clear horizontal flow, transitioning from deep greens at the floor level to pale, atmospheric tones higher up, it gives walls a sense of height and natural balance.

In a dining room or dressing room, the gentle horizontal rhythm can wrap smoothly around the space without overwhelming it, as the soft transitions between colours keep the artwork feeling light. The painterly detail benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the full vertical transition from earthy greens to delicate sky tones can be appreciated in its entirety.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we recommend pairing this design with clean-lined furniture and tactile, understated natural materials. Contemporary or Scandinavian-inspired furniture in pale blonde woods like ash or birch harmonises effortlessly with the lighter tones in the motif, while darker timber accents can pick up the rich forest greens grounded at the base.

For soft furnishings, opt for matte, unpatterned fabrics such as washed linen or bouclé in neutral ecru, soft grey, or muted rose. Keeping surrounding decorative accessories minimal and organic in form ensures the room feels cohesive and design-led, allowing the brushwork on the wall murals to set the visual tone.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is composed around a palette of sage and dark green, blush pink, soft peach, pale sky blue, buttercup yellow, and misty grey.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, consider drawing from these core shades:

• Soft off-white or pale chalk grey creates a fresh, light boundary that mirrors the upper sky tones of the mural.
• Muted sage green or moss on adjacent painted walls or baseboards reinforces the organic grounding at the bottom of the design.
• A delicate, dusty blush pink on upholstery or accent pieces picks up the floral highlights in the midground for a subtle, coordinated finish.
