Wallpaper - Up Three

Our Up Three wallpaper by Shirley Novak brings expressive botanical energy to the wall with an expansive, close-up composition of vibrant poppies. Rendered with the bold, painterly character of oil brushwork, the design layers broad petals in saturated red, warm amber-orange, and deep purple against a textured cream backdrop. Slender green stems and round seed pods thread through the composition, creating an upward sense of movement across a generous scale. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an artistic focal point in any interior.

In the room

Because the floral motifs are large and sweeping, we see this design working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing it behind a main sofa allows the broad blooms and sweeping stems to spread naturally across the space without being broken up. It also brings wonderful visual warmth to a bedroom when positioned behind the headboard, where the painterly petals create an enveloping backdrop.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and bold palette take centre stage, we would balance the wall with relatively quiet, grounded furniture. Mid-tone or darker wood pieces pair naturally with the organic shapes, while upholstery in plain, textured fabrics prevents competing patterns from distracting from the botanical artwork. Contemporary or eclectic interiors that welcome confident colour will feel immediately animated by this artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vivid palette of poppy red, warm golden-orange, deep plum purple, and olive green, all anchored by a light, warm cream background. For adjacent painted walls, skirting, or larger decorative elements, we would look to soft warm stone, off-white, or muted olive tones. If you prefer a moodier, more dramatic palette, pulling out the deep aubergine or rich crimson for accents creates a sophisticated dialogue with the floral motif.
