Wallpaper - Hollyhocks

Designed by Katrina Pete, our Hollyhocks wallpaper brings a luminous, painterly floral study into the home. What we particularly like about this design is how the soft, pale petals are captured with fluid watercolour washes, layered against fresh sea greens, soft sage, and subtle hints of sky blue. The open composition and delicate brushwork give the botanical motif an airy, organic rhythm rather than a rigid repeat, allowing the blossoms to feel light and floating across the wall. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, it creates a serene and artistic focal point in any room.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working beautifully in spaces where you want to foster a calm, restful atmosphere. In a bedroom, it makes a wonderfully tranquil feature wall behind a bed, bringing the freshness of an open garden indoors without overwhelming the space. The fluid, vertical stems also suit a living room wall, especially where generous daylight can highlight the delicate tonal gradations between the pale green leaves and soft background washes. Because the motif is light and expansive, it sits comfortably in both compact rooms and larger open-plan areas without visually closing in the space.

Styling it

To complement the painterly character of our wallpaper, we would keep the surrounding interior natural and understated:

• Pair the floral motif with light wood furniture, such as pale ash or natural oak, to enhance the clean, Scandinavian feel of the room.
• Introduce soft, unbleached textiles and woven cotton throws to echo the relaxed, organic quality of the watercolour brushstrokes.
• Keep surrounding architectural elements, like skirtings and window frames, in a soft chalky white or muted stone tone so the wall mural remains the primary visual feature.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on soft sea greens, muted leafy greens, and luminous off-white petals with subtle touches of watery blue. When planning your colour scheme, surrounding walls painted in a warm off-white or pale chalk create a seamless, airy backdrop that lets the green stems stand out naturally. If you prefer a richer contrast, picking up the deeper olive and forest tones from the botanical stems in your upholstery or painted woodwork will anchor the room while maintaining a harmonious, garden-inspired palette.
