Wallpaper - Sunflowers and Mums

Our Sunflowers and Mums wallpaper mural captures a rich still life scene created by Carol Rowan, where a rustic wooden basket overflows with golden sunflowers and deep orange-red chrysanthemums. Set against a weathered wooden backdrop with earthy green, warm brown, and soft orange tones, the composition is accented by gardening tools and scattered leaves that give the scene an authentic countryside character. The painterly drawing style brings a warm, handcrafted presence to the wall, making it a distinctive focal point in rustic, farmhouse, or traditional interiors. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a main feature wall in a dining room, kitchen, or country-style living room. Because the composition is a complete still life with defined foreground details and a textured backdrop, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the central basket of flowers can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the lower half. In a kitchen dining nook or behind a wooden dining table, the warm palette creates a welcoming, convivial atmosphere. It also suits a study or bedroom where you want to introduce the relaxed, rustic charm of a garden shed or summer house.

Styling it

To complement the rich, earthy tones of our wallpaper, we would pair it with natural materials and traditional furniture shapes:

• Choose warm or medium-toned wooden furniture, such as pine, rustic oak, or reclaimed timber, which naturally echoes the wooden basket and background panelling in the motif.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured, opting for plain woven fabrics in warm cream, muted olive, or soft terracotta rather than competing patterns.
• Incorporate vintage or artisanal accessories, such as terracotta pots, antique bronze hardware, or glazed earthenware, to harmonise with the gardening still life theme.

Colour combinations

The design centres on sunflower yellows, deep orange-reds, rich earthy browns, and warm sage greens. When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out the softer tones from the background rather than matching the most vibrant flower petals. A warm, creamy off-white or a soft, muted sage green on adjacent walls will keep the room feeling light and balanced while allowing the sunflowers to provide the main pop of colour. For a cosier, more enveloping space, a warm terracotta or deep taupe-brown on the skirting boards and trim grounds the artwork beautifully.
