Wallpaper - Straw Basket

Our Straw Basket wallpaper by Anne Tavoletti brings a warm harvest still life to the wall, pairing rich pumpkin orange and glossy apple red against a deep blue background. The composition centres on two large pumpkins, a small white gourd, and polished orchard fruit arranged before a tall wooden vase filled with dried grasses and vibrant autumnal blossoms. Visible painterly brushwork gives the artwork an authentic hand-painted look, while the contrast between the dark backdrop and glowing harvest tones creates strong visual depth. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like this design in a dining room, kitchen, or welcoming entryway, where its seasonal still-life character feels immediately grounded. In a dining area, placing the mural along an uninterrupted accent wall allows the full tabletop composition to take centre stage, creating an inviting backdrop around a family dining table. The dark blue background gives the motif enough visual weight to anchor open-plan living spaces without overwhelming surrounding walls. For a study, den, or hallway, the warm palette brings depth to compact wall areas that might otherwise feel plain.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, farmhouse-inspired character of the artwork, we suggest pairing it with warm natural wood furniture, such as a honeyed pine or rustic oak dining table. Matte stoneware, woven table runners, and antique brass or wrought iron accents echo the earthy feel of the motif without competing with its painterly detail. Keeping adjacent walls and larger upholstery relatively simple allows the rich colours of the still life to remain the clear visual anchor of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a bold palette of pumpkin orange, deep navy blue, warm golden ochre, crisp apple red, and soft off-white. To build a balanced scheme around it, we recommend using warm neutrals such as creamy linen or soft wheat on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you want a more dramatic, enveloping room, pulling out the deep background navy for surrounding painted trim or cabinetry creates a beautifully cohesive, heritage feel.
