Wallpaper - Escaping the Frame Purple

Created by Tanja Smedh, our Escaping the Frame Purple wallpaper presents an Art Nouveau-inspired botanical composition where large blooms spill past geometric panels. Rich purple, lavender, and soft earthy lilac tones define the layered petals and sinuous stems, set against a quiet grey background. The contrast between the rigid vertical frames and the flowing, organic ink-drawn flowers gives this design a structured yet decorative presence. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or home library. Because the design combines strong vertical frames with sweeping floral forms, it benefits from a relatively uninterrupted wall where the rhythmic repeat can be viewed in full. Placing it behind a headboard in a bedroom creates a graceful focal point, while in a living room or study, keeping low-profile seating along the wall ensures the expressive botanicals and architectural border lines remain open and clear.

Styling it

The distinct historic character and graphic framing make this design easy to style alongside both classic and modern furniture. We would pair it with simpler silhouettes to let the floral illustration lead the room.

• Choose darker wood finishes, such as walnut or stained oak, to echo the deeper purple and earthy outlines in the pattern.
• Introduce understated textiles in muted grey, flax, or pale lavender to complement the soft tones without adding competing patterns.
• Incorporate warm brass or antique bronze accents in lamps or hardware to gently pick up on the vintage Art Nouveau feel.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by violet, rich purple, lavender, and muted grey tones. For surrounding walls and woodwork, soft dove greys or light warm whites provide a clean, cohesive transition that keeps the room open and bright. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, deep aubergine, plum, or slate grey on adjacent trim and cabinetry will tie directly into the darker ink lines of the floral repeat.
