Wallpaper - Icelandic Flush

Created by Shirley Novak, our Icelandic Flush wallpaper brings an expressive, watercolour-style field of poppies across the wall. Bold blooms in vivid red, warm orange, sunny yellow, soft pink, and magenta rise on slender, curving stems against a clean white backdrop. Delicate white outlines trace around the petals, giving the composition a graphic clarity and lively rhythm from tight buds to open flowers. Produced as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an uplifting floral focal point for contemporary interiors.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom where the dancing vertical stems can establish height and visual energy. Because the lower stems and rising buds ground the composition while the blossoms reach upward, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa, a dining table, or a headboard allows the colourful poppy heads to remain clearly visible. In a playroom, creative home office, or powder room, the bright palette adds a playful and cheerful atmosphere without overwhelming smaller spaces, thanks to the generous white space surrounding the flowers.

Styling it

To balance the vibrant energy of the floral motif, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture and minimal surface clutter. Mid-century modern or contemporary silhouettes with light wood tones, such as ash or pale oak, complement the organic curves of the stems without competing for attention. If you want to introduce accent decor, select one or two smooth ceramic pieces or subtle metal accents in matte black to echo the fine line work of the artwork. Keep larger textiles relatively plain and textured to let the mural wallpaper remain the primary visual focus in the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by popping red, orange, and golden yellow tones, softened by shades of blush pink, magenta, and olive green on a crisp white ground. When decorating around the pattern, pairing adjacent walls with a fresh off-white or soft warm cream keeps the room bright and allows the floral colours to stand out cleanly. For accents or upholstery, pulling out the warm terracotta, sunny ochre, or deep poppy red creates a cohesive colour story, while grounded olive or moss greens offer a natural, harmonising contrast.
