Wallpaper - Art Noveau II

Created by Tanja Smedh, this Art Nouveau design brings together symmetrical architectural arches, sinuous curves, and delicate floral motifs in a palette of sage green, soft grey-green, and muted cream. Each repeating section frames fine, organic botanical line work within elegant upright ovals, capturing the decorative spirit of historic textile and graphic art. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing a tailored, artistic presence to the wall.

In the room

Because the design relies on a structured, symmetrical repeat, we find it works particularly well across a continuous feature wall in a living room, dining room, or home library. The arched frames create a natural sense of architectural rhythm, which helps give structure to wider, open wall areas without feeling overly heavy. In a dining space or library setting, placing this wallpaper along the main wall allows the intricate line work within each oval frame to remain visible above sideboard or table height, making the most of the detailed botanical illustrations.

Styling it

To complement the flowing lines and period character of the motif, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, classic silhouettes or subtle heritage curves. Darker wood tones such as walnut or antique mahogany ground the pale sage background nicely, while warm brass lighting fixtures or hardware echo the decorative elegance of the Art Nouveau period. Keeping larger upholstered pieces relatively neutral in woven linen or wool textures ensures the wall mural remains the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The design features a subtle interplay of sage, olive-grey, and pale cream tones. To build a cohesive palette around it, we recommend drawing out the lighter cream tones for painted ceiling surfaces, coving, or adjacent woodwork to keep the room feeling open. Soft, muted greens that mirror the darker border accents can be used on painted architectural details or built-in shelving, while deep charcoal or warm, earthy accents in cushions and ceramics provide a grounded contrast.
