Wallpaper - The Bucket of List Green Orange

Created by Tanja Smedh, this surreal design features a serene face nestled inside a decorative vase, crowned by lush, layered blossoms and sinuous Art Nouveau line work. Rich botanical greens blend seamlessly into glowing warm amber and golden tones, creating a dreamy, imaginative composition with intricate ink-drawn details and floating organic shapes. As with all our wallpapers, we print this wall mural made-to-measure on durable, PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, bringing expressive artistry straight to your interior.

In the room

Because the central motif carries such a strong focal presence, we see this wallpaper working beautifully as an accent wall in a dedicated creative space, art studio, or meditation room. Placing the design along a main uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping floral elements and the central resting figure to command attention without feeling crowded. In a larger living room or quiet reading nook, positioning lower furniture in front of the wall ensures the expressive upper botanical canopy remains completely visible, grounding the space with a calm, artistic atmosphere.

Styling it

To balance the intricate ink drawing and vivid green palette, we suggest pairing this design with quiet, understated furnishings. Clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or muted walnut, complements the warm undertones of the backdrop without competing with the detailed floral curves. We would keep nearby textiles simple and textured in solid weaves, allowing the mural wallpapers to remain the unmistakable centrepiece of the room. A touch of aged brass or brushed bronze in floor lamps or small hardware can also echo the classic, Art Nouveau spirit of the illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by vibrant emerald and leaf greens set against a warm, luminous yellow-orange gradient, accented by fine dark green outlines. To build a cohesive palette around it, we recommend drawing out the softer background tones with warm ivory, soft ochre, or muted sand on surrounding walls and woodwork. If you prefer deeper contrast, pairing it with dark forest green or earthy olive on adjacent doors or shelving frames the artwork in a dramatic, intentional way.
