Wallpaper - Chasing Dahlia Teal

Our Chasing Dahlia Teal wallpaper by Mairin Kareli layers dense, pointed botanical petals and foliage in an expressive ink-drawing style. Fine black contour lines sketch out each petal across a shifting wash of jade green, soft mint, and rich teal, creating a fluid sense of depth and continuous visual rhythm. What we particularly like about this design is how the graphic line work contrasts with the soft watercolor-like gradient underneath, giving the floral motif a contemporary edge. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the petal motif is dense and filled with fine detail, we see this working especially well on a dedicated feature wall in a living room or bedroom. In a living room, placing our design behind a low-backed sofa gives the intricate ink work plenty of vertical room to unfold without competing visual interruptions. In a bedroom, it creates an enveloping focal point when positioned behind a headboard. The deep teal and jade tones also make it a striking choice for a quiet meditation room or reading corner, where the continuous organic movement can wrap around the space. For full-room coverage, we suggest using it in rooms with ample natural daylight so the subtle shifts between light mint and deep jade remain clearly defined.

Styling it

To balance the intricate line work of the motif, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Modern silhouettes with smooth surfaces prevent the room from feeling visually crowded alongside such a detailed botanical pattern.

For materials, dark-stained wood or painted charcoal finishes work nicely to echo the black ink outlines within the design. If you prefer a lighter look, pale blonde woods provide a fresh contrast that highlights the mint green highlights in the backdrop. Matte black metal accents on lighting or table frames can subtly tie back to the linework without distracting from the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a palette of jade green, deep teal, and pale seafoam mint, outlined with crisp black ink.

When painting adjoining walls or woodwork, soft off-whites with a cool undertone keep the overall setting feeling open and balanced. If you prefer a richer and more cohesive scheme, deep teal or dark forest green on adjacent walls or architectural trim will amplify the moodier tones in the print. For accents and textiles, soft grey, muted charcoal, and pale eucalyptus greens complement the floral pattern naturally without introducing competing colour noise.
