Wallpaper - Gardening in Mauve

Our Gardening in Mauve wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly floral still life to the wall. Created by Shirley Novak, the design features bold, palette-knife-style blooms in layered shades of mauve, lilac, lavender and soft pink, accented with playful dots of bright yellow, touches of deep violet and fresh green foliage. The airy, off-white background allows each petal and brushstroke to stand out with distinct clarity, creating a lively yet balanced visual rhythm across the surface. Produced made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, our wallpaper is PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We particularly like how the dynamic composition and generous scale of this floral motif animate a space without feeling crowded. In a living room or dining room, it serves beautifully on a primary feature wall behind a sofa or dining table, where the sweeping arrangement has space to be appreciated as a large-scale artwork. For a bedroom or dressing room, the gentle pastel undertones create an inviting, romantic backdrop behind a headboard or vanity. Because the background remains light and open, the wallpaper also works wonderfully in hallways and entryways, bringing an immediate sense of warmth and artistic personality as soon as you step inside.

Styling it

To let the expressive painterly character of the wallpaper take centre stage, we suggest balancing the room with furniture that features clean, contemporary lines. Smooth painted finishes or warm natural timber, such as light oak, allow the colours in the flowers to stand out naturally without competing for visual weight.

In terms of accessories, picking up on the artwork’s smaller accent notes adds cohesion to the interior. Consider incorporating soft textiles in dusty rose, lavender or muted olive green through cushions or throws. Simple ceramic pieces or matte decorative accents in pale yellow or creamy off-white will echo the cheerful details in the petals while keeping the overall styling refined.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a rich floral palette of mauve, violet, lilac, dusty pink and chartreuse yellow, set against a soft pale backdrop. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, woodwork or cabinetry, we recommend soft chalky whites, pale cream or subtle greige to keep the room light and cohesive. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out a deeper mauve or a muted olive from the leaves creates an elegant, considered contrast across adjoining surfaces.
