Wallpaper - Sepia Floral

Created by Kristy Rice, our Sepia Floral wallpaper brings an artistic watercolour look to botanical illustration. The composition gathers delicate petals, rounded leaves, and small seed buds in earthy walnut browns, muted pinks, and gentle beige tones against a soft cream backdrop. Loose washes of paint meet fine, gestural line work, giving the motif a dreamy, hand-painted character that feels expressive while remaining visually light. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that complements the painted motif.

In the room

Because the botanical forms are softly grouped rather than tightly packed, this design creates an open, tranquil feel across a wall. In a bedroom, we like using it on the wall behind the bed head, where the warm earthy tones create an inviting focal point without overwhelming the rest of the space. It also works beautifully in a living room on a feature wall or framing a quiet reading corner. The gentle contrast between the dark walnut accents and the paler floral washes means the pattern holds its detail well in bright daylight, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmth of the sepia palette.

Styling it

The heritage French country and botanical influence of the artwork pairs naturally with classic and contemporary interiors alike. To complement the painterly aesthetic, we would introduce warm timber furniture, such as natural oak or darker walnut, to echo the deepest tones in the floral stems. For upholstery and soft furnishings, simple woven textures in neutral ecru, unbleached cotton, or soft blush tones allow the delicate botanical line work of our wall murals to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design relies on rich walnut brown, dusty pink, muted sepia, and warm beige on a light cream base. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, skirting boards, or architectural trim, soft ivory or creamy off-white creates a gentle, cohesive transition that lets the wallpaper flow naturally into the room. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich walnut brown or muted taupe on woodwork or accent pieces will pick out the darker painterly details.
