Wallpaper - Secret Garden I

Our Secret Garden I wallpaper pairs painterly brushwork with a vibrant abstract floral motif, designed by Maggie Sackmann. Energetic marks in vivid pink, yellow, red, white, blue, and leaf green scatter across a deep hunter green background, evoking the movement of petals in full bloom with an oil-painted visual texture. What we particularly like about this design is how the dark base anchors the expressive, spontaneous marks, giving the pattern striking depth and visual contrast. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, our wallpapers are simple to hang and bring an artistic presence to any room.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working well as a bold feature wall behind a sofa or along a main entertaining wall, where the dark background and lively marks create an inviting focal point without overwhelming the entire space. The expressive composition also suits a bedroom behind the headboard, where the deep green backdrop feels grounding while the bright floral accents add character. Because the brushwork has a dynamic visual rhythm, it works nicely across an uninterrupted wall in a dining room or home office, offering a creative backdrop that remains engaging from both near and across the room. In smaller spaces like an entryway or powder room, wallpapering across all walls wraps the interior in rich colour and playful energy.

Styling it

We would lean into an eclectic or contemporary interior style to complement the expressive nature of this design. Keeping larger furniture relatively simple allows the wall mural to carry the visual excitement. For seating and dining pieces, dark painted finishes or rich timber tones work naturally alongside the deep hunter green ground, grounding the space effectively.

To balance the dynamic brushwork, we would incorporate plain upholstery and smooth woven fabrics rather than competing patterned textiles. Clean-lined modern furniture creates a crisp contrast against the fluid, painterly forms, while accents in subtle brass or matte black hardware echo the warmth and definition within the motif.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a rich hunter green base punctuated by vibrant accents of coral pink, sunny yellow, rich red, crisp white, sky blue, and fresh greens.

Around the wallpaper, you could pull out the deep hunter green for woodwork, skirting boards, or adjacent painted walls to create an immersive, tonal look. If you prefer a lighter surround, a warm off-white or soft muted cream on neighbouring walls keeps the room open while letting the colourful brushstrokes stand out clearly. For upholstery and decorative touches, echoing the warm pink or golden yellow shades from the design introduces deliberate cohesion across the room.
