Wallpaper - Red Poppies (1910) Oil Painting

In our Red Poppies wallpaper, created from an oil painting by František Kaván from 1910, a gently sloping meadow of lush fern green is dotted with vibrant red poppies. A row of dense green trees anchors the background beneath a pale yellow sky that evokes the soft light of dawn or dusk. The impressionistic brushwork gives the landscape depth and a tranquil, painterly character, allowing the warm red accents to stand out naturally against the earthy green expanse. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

For us, this landscape mural wallpaper works best where its horizontal span and gentle perspective have room to unfold. In a living room, placing it across a main wall behind a sofa allows the sweeping green meadow and tree line to create a calm, grounded backdrop without visually crowding the space. The open sky in the upper portion keeps the wall feeling light, which makes it equally suited to a quiet reading corner or a dedicated meditation space. Because the painting has a distinct horizon and natural slope, we prefer using it on a wider, uninterrupted wall rather than across multiple broken surfaces.

Styling it

The historic, painterly character of this artwork pairs naturally with classic and heritage-led interior styles. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded, choosing warm or dark wood pieces that reflect the earthy tones of the meadow and tree line. Upholstery in natural, unpatterned fabrics allows the impressionist brushstrokes of the poppies to remain the focal point of the room. Matte black metal accents or quiet brass hardware complement the vintage 1910 aesthetic without distracting from the landscape.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich fern green and earthy undertones, balanced by soft pale yellow in the sky and energetic pops of vermilion red in the poppy heads. Around the mural, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites, muted linen tones, or a pale buttery cream drawn from the sky. If you prefer deeper contrast, furniture or woodwork in dark moss green or warm chestnut will pick up on the shaded areas beneath the trees.
