Wallpaper - Chasing Dahlia Purple

Our Chasing Dahlia Purple wallpaper, created by Mairin Kareli, brings an expressive botanical study to life through dense layers of pointed dahlia petals. Ink-drawn linework defines each petal with fine hatching, giving the overall composition visual depth and a sense of fluid movement. A tonal palette of deep violet, muted purple, soft lavender, and cool undertones creates rich contrast across the surface. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang and make a confident artistic statement.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bedroom or a dedicated living room where the scale of the pattern can take centre stage. Because the petal motif is dense and full of graphic movement, giving it a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping curves and layered depth to unfold naturally. In a bedroom, placing our design behind the headboard creates an enveloping backdrop that anchors the entire space. For a meditation room or quiet reading corner, the tonal transitions between lavender and darker purple bring an immersive, cocooning feel to the space without requiring complicated room accessories.

Styling it

When styling around such a detailed floral pattern, we suggest keeping larger furniture pieces relatively simple in form so the wallpaper carries the decorative energy. Smooth, matte surfaces and clean-lined contemporary furniture help balance the intricate ink linework.

To ground the rich purple tones, we would pair the design with warm, dark wood finishes or deep charcoal furniture elements. Upholstery in plain woven fabrics like heavy cotton or bouclé in neutral shades helps soften the visual contrast, letting the botanical flow remain the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a nuanced spectrum of purples, transitioning from pale lavender highlights to deep, shadowy violet and plum tones. To complement this palette on adjacent walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, consider pairing it with:

• Soft grey-white or chalky off-white to keep the surrounding space bright and let the purple tones stand out with crisp clarity.
• Deep aubergine or smoky charcoal on skirting boards and window frames for a dramatic, tonal continuation.
• Muted taupe or cool greige on neighbouring painted walls to bridge the contrast between lighter petals and darker shadow areas.
