Wallpaper - Hydrangea Basket

Our Hydrangea Basket wallpaper brings a soft, impressionistic still life to the wall, capturing a wicker basket filled with pastel pink, blue, and yellow hydrangeas set against lush green foliage. Beside it, a simple glass jar holds further delicate blooms in pale green and blue. The background is built with vertical streaks of pastel blue, yellow, and white, resting above a soft green and white chequered pattern that grounds the lower half of the scene. Created by artist Carol Rowan, the design has a gentle, painted drawing character that gives the floral composition an airy, cottage-inspired feel. We produce this design as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this is a painterly still life with distinct lower grounding and vertical background brushwork, we like using it on an accent wall where the central arrangement can be seen clearly. In a dining room or country kitchen, it works beautifully alongside a dining table or breakfast nook, providing a colourful focal point without overwhelming the space. In a bedroom or dressing room, the gentle pastel palette creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere across the main wall behind a bed or dressing table. In an entryway or study, the design offers an inviting touch of classic floral charm, especially on wall areas that are not heavily obscured by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards.

Styling it

The soft pastel tones and impressionistic drawing style naturally complement traditional, cottage, and French country interiors. We would pair this design with light-toned painted furniture, soft whites, or natural pale timber to echo the woven wicker basket in the motif.

To keep the balance in the room, let the wallpaper serve as the main decorative pattern. Smooth ceramic accessories, simple glassware, and plain woven fabrics help highlight the delicate hydrangeas and subtle background grid without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around cornflower blue, pastel pink, pale yellow, and soft leafy greens, balanced by white and cream tones in the background streaks and chequered base.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and larger textiles, we suggest pulling directly from these gentle hues:

• Muted cornflower or duck egg blue creates a cohesive, tranquil scheme on adjoining walls or trim.
• Soft sage or pale olive green on painted cabinetry or skirtings echoes the natural foliage in the still life.
• Warm off-white or creamy ivory keeps the space bright and lets the pastel flower tones take center stage.
