Wallpaper - Waltzing Poppies

Our Waltzing Poppies wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly feel to the wall, featuring five loosely defined poppy blooms created with artist Silvia Vassileva. Soft white and beige petals unfold around deep brown centres, set against an atmospheric backdrop of earthy browns, warm burnt orange, and subtle red undertones. Visible brushstrokes and layered textures give the piece a rustic, vintage character with genuine movement. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on a PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Because the composition centres on five large, expressive blooms, giving the wall mural a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full flow of the petals and backdrop to be appreciated. In a dining area, placing it along a main feature wall creates an intimate, welcoming setting around the table. It also works beautifully in a bedroom behind a headboard, where the earthy background tones add depth without overwhelming the space. For an entryway or home office, the painterly floral motif introduces an artistic presence right as you step into the room.

Styling it

To balance the bold brushwork and warm tones of the mural, we would keep the surrounding interior grounded and tactile.

• Warm wood furniture, such as medium oak or walnut, echoes the earthy brown and orange base of the wallpaper while letting the lighter petals stand out.
• Simple, unpatterned upholstery in cream, oatmeal, or soft beige allows the floral artwork to remain the clear visual centrepiece of the room.
• Accents in antique brass, bronze, or blackened metal provide a gentle structure that complements the deep, dark centres of the poppies.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by soft whites, muted beiges, and deep chocolate browns in the poppy motifs, layered over a background rich in terracotta, burnt orange, warm umber, and hints of red.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, we recommend pulling from the softer shades in the petals, such as warm off-white, light linen, or gentle stone. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, warm cinnamon, caramel, or muted clay tones will sit naturally alongside the background brushwork. For trim and skirting boards, a soft creamy neutral keeps the transition clean and cohesive.
