Wallpaper - Books and Blooms II

Our Books and Blooms II wallpaper pairs a vibrant still-life composition with classic literary charm. Designed by Yvette St. Amant, the motif brings together an expressive bouquet of pink, orange, coral, and red roses balanced by delicate white blossoms and rich green foliage. Beneath the arrangement sits a trio of stacked books with decorative spines in purple and beige, set over a warm cream backdrop with subtle cursive script. The layered palette and painted look give the design an inviting, vintage character that makes a distinctive statement on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and tailored to your room dimensions.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce warmth, storytelling, and colour. In a living room or bedroom, it creates an engaging focal point on a main accent wall behind a sofa or bed frame, where the full height of the stacked books and floral crown can remain clearly visible. It also feels completely at home in a dedicated study, home library, or a quiet reading corner, where the bookish theme and soft script background complement shelves of books and comfortable seating. Because the composition carries both intricate detail and vibrant floral tones, giving it a relatively open wall allows the artistic still life to be enjoyed without visual distraction.

Styling it

To balance the decorative nature of the artwork, we would keep the surrounding furniture classic and grounded. Painted wooden pieces or warm, mid-toned timber furniture sit naturally alongside the vintage illustration style, letting the central motif stand out without competing for attention.

For textiles, simple natural fabrics in soft ivory, muted beige, or warm oatmeal allow the rich coral and rose tones to remain the primary focus. In a study or library setting, low-sheen brass or antique bronze reading lamps echo the ornate book spines and add a subtle, traditional accent to the room.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette of coral, soft pink, deep red, and warm orange, balanced by verdant greens, muted purple, and a soothing cream background. When decorating the rest of the space, we recommend pulling out the gentle cream or soft beige tones for surrounding painted walls to keep the room feeling light and cohesive.

If you prefer a deeper, more enveloping feel, drawing on the muted purple from the book covers or a heritage sage green inspired by the foliage creates a sophisticated backdrop for joinery, trim, or upholstery. Accents in soft blush or warm terracotta can also be introduced through cushions or throws to mirror the vivid tones of the roses.
