Wallpaper - Southern Tones I

Our Southern Tones I wallpaper brings a still life scene to life through six decorative vases painted in warm red, terracotta, orange, and gold tones. Created by Lisa Audit, the composition pairs intricate floral and geometric vessel patterns with delicate green foliage and white blossoms against a softly patterned beige background. The oil-paint-inspired textures give the artwork an inviting, painterly character that works beautifully across main living spaces and dining areas. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like how this still life composition anchors a dining room or living room when given a generous, uninterrupted wall. Placing the wallpaper behind a dining table or along an open wall allows the full arrangement of vases and leafy branches to remain clearly visible, acting as an artistic focal point without overwhelming the space. In a hallway or entryway, the warm earthy palette creates an immediate sense of welcome, while in a bedroom, the softer beige backdrop and botanical details bring a balanced, restful visual feel. Because the motif is concentrated across the lower and middle composition, it works especially well above lower furniture such as sideboards, credenzas, or low-back seating.

Styling it

To complement the rich artisan character of the artwork, we suggest balancing the space with quiet, grounded interior elements:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood finishes such as mid-tone oak, walnut, or antique timber to echo the earthy richness of the terracotta and brick-red vessels.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and curtains in muted, textured neutrals like oatmeal, unbleached linen, or soft cream so the decorative vases remain the central focus.
• Introduce subtle accents in aged brass, blackened bronze, or terracotta ceramics to reflect the warm metallic and clay tones found throughout the painted pattern.

Colour combinations

The design is built around an earthy palette of brick red, warm terracotta, soft gold, and muted ochre, balanced by leafy olive greens and a gentle floral beige background. When selecting paint shades for adjacent walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we recommend pulling directly from these warmer tones. Soft biscuit beige, warm ivory, or light plaster pink on surrounding walls keep the room bright and cohesive. For a more dramatic, heritage-inspired look, deep terracotta or olive green on skirting boards and door frames beautifully frames the mural wallpapers.
