Wallpaper - Swallows and Lupines

Our Swallows and Lupines wallpaper brings an artistic rural landscape into the home with expressive impressionistic brushwork. Designed by Sue Schlabach, the motif features tall lupine blooms in purple and pink tones reaching upwards against a clear sky blue background. Rich green foliage anchors the lower edge, while three swallows glide overhead to add a gentle sense of motion. The painterly oil-paint look gives the composition remarkable depth and visual texture without overwhelming the room. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make a distinctive statement on any wall.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across an uninterrupted feature wall in a bedroom or a quiet home library. Because the composition has a clear vertical flow, with leafy green stems at the base and open blue sky above, it naturally draws the eye upward and feels wonderfully expansive. In a dedicated reading corner or meditation room, placing the mural wallpaper behind lower seating allows the full height of the lupines and the swooping birds to remain visible. The painterly style also suits living rooms where you want the character of an original nature painting across a broader wall area.

Styling it

We would pair this floral design with simple, considered furnishings that let the artistic brushwork lead the scheme:

• Keep larger furniture pieces relatively low and unadorned, such as a low-profile headboard or low-backed armchair, so the vertical transition from green foliage to open sky is uninterrupted.
• Choose warm or lighter wood tones for shelving and side tables to complement the natural outdoor feel without competing with the painted details.
• Use soft, unpatterned textiles in gentle cream, dusty lavender, or muted moss green to balance the expressive movement in the wallpaper.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on sky blue, deep purple, soft pink, and leafy green. When decorating around it, we like combining the mural with soft off-white or chalky cream paint on adjoining walls and woodwork, keeping the overall atmosphere light and balanced. To pick up on the floral tones, you can introduce subtle accents of lavender, blush, or deeper plum in cushions and ceramics. Muted sage or olive greens on surrounding trim or cabinetry will also connect naturally with the foliage at the base of the design.
