Wallpaper - Before the Spring II

Our Before the Spring II wallpaper, created by artist Silvia Vassileva, captures the expressive energy of an abstract landscape. Sweeps of sunflower yellow and warm orange ground the lower portion of the design, balanced by deep brown and black strokes that create visual depth. Above, the composition opens into softer passages of grey, beige, and off-white that suggest an overcast horizon. The oil paint-inspired brushwork gives the surface a layered, dynamic quality, making this mural wallpaper a distinctive focal point. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings genuine artistic character to your walls.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal composition has space to unfold. In a living room, placing it behind a main sofa allows the lighter, atmospheric upper section to sit at eye level while the richer, warmer tones anchor the lower half of the space. It also brings a contemplative presence to a home study or dedicated reading room, where the moody, painterly qualities add warmth without overwhelming the room. Because the visual weight is concentrated towards the base, the design feels naturally grounded and leaves plenty of visual breathing room above.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the primary focus, we recommend pairing it with understated, low-profile furniture that keeps the horizon line visible. Pieces in warm natural timber, such as muted oak or walnut, complement the earthy brushwork across the lower half. We would keep surrounding soft furnishings relatively simple, choosing textured woven fabrics in undyed linen or muted oatmeal rather than competing patterned textiles. Matte black metal accents on lighting or slender table frames echo the dark charcoal strokes in the painting, tying the scheme together cleanly.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of sunflower yellow, ochre, rich earth brown, and deep charcoal, balanced by cool greys, soft stone, and chalky white. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale limestone, or soft greige create a seamless, harmonious transition. If you prefer a richer aesthetic, a deep charcoal or warm umber on surrounding skirting boards or doors can echo the darker brushstrokes and give the room a cosy, grounded atmosphere.
