Wallpaper - Summer Stems VI

Illustrated by Beth Grove, this wallpaper design pairs a cheerful cherry red bow with a quiet, neutral plaid backdrop. The central ribbon features crisp white polka dots, shaded with soft watercolour tones that give the fabric folds a gentle sense of depth. Behind the bold motif, a delicate beige grid provides structured balance, keeping the overall composition light and grounded. It is a playful, nostalgic pattern that brings an easy sense of charm to a wall. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in children's bedrooms, nurseries, playrooms, and dedicated craft or hobby spaces. Because the red bow provides a focal point against the calm beige check, we would place it on a prominent accent wall where the motif can be appreciated without feeling crowded. In a nursery or toddler's room, placing the design behind a cot, low bed, or a reading nook anchors the space while allowing the gentle plaid pattern to soften the surrounding decor. For hobby and dressing rooms, the vintage-inspired ribbon adds character without overwhelming smaller wall areas.

Styling it

To balance the vibrant cherry red, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with simple, understated furniture. Painted white or off-white pieces let the pattern remain the central focus, while light, natural wood tones such as birch or ash reinforce the warm cottage aesthetic.

When choosing surrounding textiles, simple linen or cotton in muted cream or soft neutral tones keeps the space feeling airy. You can introduce small accents in matching cherry red, like a painted frame, a cushion, or decorative storage boxes, to tie the room together without competing with the main graphic element.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette centres on a lively cherry red and warm beige, highlighted by soft white dots and gridlines. To complement this, look to surrounding paint shades in warm off-white, soft cream, or light taupe for woodwork and adjacent walls. If you want to introduce additional colour into the room, gentle pastel accents such as pale sky blue, muted sage green, or soft blush offer a delightful contrast that complements the nostalgic character of the motif.
