Wallpaper - Summer Stems V

Designed by Beth Grove, our Summer Stems V wallpaper brings together a soft cornflower blue and white checkered ribbon bow set against a gentle, textured beige plaid background. What we particularly like about this design is the painterly, watercolour-like finish on the bow, which adds a subtle artistic character and warmth to the geometric backdrop. The contrast between the organic, fluid shading of the ribbon and the structured grid creates a balanced, charming composition. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in spaces where you want a classic, relaxed feel with a hint of nostalgia. In a nursery, toddler room, or playroom, the delicate blue tones and soft plaid create a welcoming backdrop that does not overwhelm the space. It is equally suited to a charming dressing room, hobby room, or laundry room, where the decorative bow becomes a lovely focal point on an accent wall. Because the surrounding grid pattern is understated and light in tone, the design sits comfortably on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a cot, daybed, or dressing table, allowing the central motif to stand out cleanly.

Styling it

The traditional cottage and French country aesthetic of this wallpaper pairs naturally with painted furniture in soft off-white, cream, or dove grey. We would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the motif hold the spotlight, opting for light, painted timber pieces rather than heavy, dark woodwork. For soft furnishings, understated natural fabrics like plain cotton or unpatterned weaves work best to avoid competing with the checkered bow and plaid backdrop.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around cornflower blue, clean white, and warm, sandy beige in the background plaid. To complement these verified shades, we suggest pairing adjacent walls or painted woodwork with warm off-white, soft ivory, or a muted powder blue that echoes the ribbon. If you prefer a warmer, grounded look, gentle stone and light beige tones will pick up the grid lines and bring a cohesive feel to the entire room.
