Wallpaper - Snow Day Gray Flower

Our Snow Day Gray Flower wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Shirley Novak, brings an expressive and artistic floral motif to life with painted-looking character and striking graphic contrast. The design depicts stylised poppy blooms and slender stems rising across a pale, neutral background, punctuated by smoky grey petals, deep charcoal centres, and an energetic horizontal band of warm yellow ochre. Broad brush-marked surfaces and delicate paint-splattered details give the composition depth and movement across a large scale. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure to your precise dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We particularly like how this design balances graphic vertical lines with soft, painterly shapes. Because the poppies rise upwards with long, slender stems, the wallpaper naturally adds a sense of height to a room, making it especially effective on taller wall areas or as a focal point across an uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, we would give this mural wallpaper generous space behind a main sofa or along an open wall so the sweeping flow of the flower heads remains visible.

In a bedroom, positioning the design behind the bedhead creates an artistic, enveloping backdrop. The combination of gentle smoke-grey tones and grounding charcoal centres feels calm and serene, while the yellow ochre horizon line brings just enough warmth to keep the space inviting throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point of the interior, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple and tailored.

• Pair the wallpaper with contemporary furniture in clean silhouettes, such as low-profile seating or minimalist timber frames, allowing the vertical stems of the floral motif to draw the eye upwards.
• Introduce tactile accents in natural woven fabrics, muted charcoal cushions, or touches of warm ochre to echo the painterly palette of the mural without overwhelming the room with competing patterns.
• Ground the space with neutral flooring and subtle black or dark bronze lighting fixtures that subtly pick up on the deep charcoal line work in the stems.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a refined palette of smoky grey, soft neutral off-white, and deep charcoal black, enlivened by a glowing band of mustard yellow ochre.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend staying within quiet neutral directions. A warm, soft off-white or light stone grey keeps the room feeling airy and lets the artwork stand out naturally. For a cosier or more dramatic scheme, you could pull the deep charcoal from the flower centres onto surrounding trims, skirting boards, or a low-slung credenza. Warm timber tones and subtle accents in mustard or amber also connect effortlessly with the golden band across the motif.
