Wallpaper - Artichoke Blooms, Navy Blue

Our Artichoke Blooms, Navy Blue wallpaper pairs botanical detail with a rich, nocturnal backdrop. Designed by Irina Chikati, the motif brings together artichoke heads, thistle blooms, and swirling foliage in a balanced, rhythmic layout. The leaves and stems are rendered in warm beige and earthy pecan brown tones, featuring a painted, watercolour-like visual texture that stands out crisply against the deep navy ground. Fine white fringes on the thistle blossoms provide a lighter, delicate accent that gives the composition visual depth. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper brings an artistic, heritage-inspired presence to your interior.

In the room

We love how this design sets a calm, enveloping mood across larger continuous surfaces as well as dedicated feature walls. In a living room, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the symmetry of the botanical stems and blooms unfold properly. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard creates a cosy, grounded atmosphere where the deep blue and warm earthy tones can anchor the room. The repeat is disciplined enough to wrap multiple walls in a dining room or study, where the darker background creates an intimate, refined setting under warm artificial lighting.

Styling it

The heritage feel and rich tones of this design call for considered surrounding furnishings. We would lean into warm, darker woods like walnut or aged oak to echo the pecan and earthy brown shades within the foliage. Painted furniture in deep charcoal or muted olive also works beautifully alongside the dark navy base.

To balance the intricate botanical pattern, keep larger upholstered pieces and curtains relatively quiet in visual texture. Tailored textiles in natural taupe, off-white, or deep ink blue let the wallpaper remain the focal point while maintaining a cohesive, comfortable space.

Colour combinations

The design is built upon deep navy blue, earthy brown, pecan beige, and delicate white accents. When decorating around it, we recommend pulling directly from these tones or pairing them with complementary neutrals.

Soft off-white or light stone on adjacent walls and woodwork will provide a fresh contrast that highlights the white details in the thistles. If you prefer a moodier, monochromatic look, painting the skirting and trim in a deep navy or dark slate creates a seamless, sophisticated transition. Warm ochre or deep rust accents also pair naturally with the earthy pecan tones of the leaves.
