Wallpaper - Warm and Sunny

Created by Shirley Novak, our Warm and Sunny wallpaper captures the expressive vibrancy of oil paint on canvas. Sunflower yellow petals and crisp white blooms take centre stage, defined by thick, painterly brushwork and rich purple centres that create a captivating visual rhythm. Woven through with green stems, buds, and foliage against a textured cerulean blue backdrop, the composition brings an uplifting, nature-inspired energy to an accent wall. Produced as a made-to-measure design, this PVC-free wallpaper has a subtle physical structure in the paper and is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the scale of the floral forms is generous and the brushwork expressive, this design works especially well where it has space to breathe. In a living room, we would place this wallpaper on an open feature wall behind a sofa or dining table, allowing the large petals and rich yellow tones to become the primary focal point of the space. In a bedroom, it brings warmth and personality when set behind a bed with a lower headboard, ensuring the lively composition and contrasting blue background remain fully visible.

The high contrast between the golden yellow petals and the vivid blue sky tones gives this design strong visual presence. In rooms that receive plenty of natural daylight, the nuances in the white petals and the deep undertones of the stems show clearly, while in softer evening lamplight, the warm yellows and deep purple centres take on an intimate, glowing feel.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the hero of the room, we suggest balancing the expressive nature of the motif with understated interior elements. Contemporary furniture with clean silhouettes and minimal ornamentation allows the painterly texture of the wallpaper to stand out without visual competition.

When introducing materials, we like pairing this mural with natural mid-tone or light woods, such as ash or pale oak, which mirror the organic, garden-inspired character of the flowers. For surrounding textiles, choosing smooth, unpatterned fabrics in off-white or soft cream balances the dramatic paint texture on the wall while maintaining a bright, cohesive look.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant primary palette of sunflower yellow, clean white, deep purple, and rich botanical green, all set against a textured cerulean blue. When decorating around this design, pulling from these core shades creates a harmonious interior.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft cream provides a calm backdrop that lets the yellow blooms pop. If you prefer a bolder approach, a rich navy or midnight blue on adjacent doors or lower panelling ties directly into the purple and blue tones of the artwork, grounding the energetic floral repeat.
