Wallpaper - Gathering Sunflowers

Our Gathering Sunflowers wallpaper by Carol Rowan captures a lively bouquet in full bloom, painted with rich, impressionistic brushwork that gives the motif genuine artistic depth. The petals move from bright sunflower yellow to warm orange and deep terracotta reds, anchored by dark floral centres and curved green stems. Set against a soft cream and pale yellow background, the composition feels energetic yet grounded, bringing warmth and botanical character to a room. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture that complements the painted feel of the artwork.

In the room

Because the floral composition has a generous presence, we especially like this design on a main feature wall where the painted sunflowers can be seen in their entirety. In a dining room or country-style kitchen, placing the mural wallpaper across the wall alongside a dining table creates a welcoming focal point. It also works beautifully in a bright living room or a study, where the warm yellow tones and natural greens create an inviting atmosphere. For hallways and staircases, the expressive direction of the stems adds visual movement that carries well through transitional areas of the home.

Styling it

To let the painted sunflowers stand out, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has a bit of rustic or traditional warmth.

• Natural wood finishes such as honey oak, pine, or antique fruitwood echo the golden tones in the petals and keep the overall room feeling grounded.
• Consider choosing upholstery or soft furnishings in muted moss green or warm terracotta to subtly pick up the accent shades from the leaves and central blooms.
• Keep surrounding architectural features, such as skirtings and architraves, in soft off-white or creamy stone rather than stark cool white to maintain a harmonious flow.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a warm palette of sunflower yellow, rich ochre, russet red, and deep botanical greens, supported by a gentle cream backdrop. When decorating surrounding walls, we recommend pulling out the quieter background tones with warm ivory, buttermilk, or soft wheat paint shades. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep forest green or earthy olive on adjacent cabinetry or panelling will bring out the lush foliage within the painting.
