Wallpaper - The Antique Ceiling Fresque no.2

Inspired by the weathered elegance of historic plasterwork, our Antique Ceiling Fresque no.2 wallpaper brings a quiet, heritage character to interior walls. Delicate floral motifs, slender branches, and soft foliage weave across a warm beige background, painted in gentle pastel tones of faded pink, dusty blue, soft yellow, and muted green. The design has an aged, watercolour-like patina that softens the repeat and gives the impression of a classic fresco discovered in a historic residence. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our wall murals are easy to hang and designed to bring timeless artistic detail to your home.

In the room

Because the contrast is gentle and the motif is finely balanced, we see this mural wallpaper working beautifully across full rooms as well as single feature walls. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design behind the bed creates a calm, tranquil backdrop that feels light rather than heavy. In a living room or a hallway with a staircase, the airy composition allows the eye to travel across the repeat without overwhelming the surrounding space. The softer pastel palette also handles different lighting conditions gracefully, keeping its warmth in bright natural daylight while reading soft and understated under warm artificial lighting in the evening.

Styling it

To complement the historic and romantic character of the design, we recommend balancing the fine floral details with simple, tactile furnishings.

• Pair the wallpaper with painted timber furniture or warm, mid-tone woods that echo the soft warmth of the beige base without competing with the pattern.
• Choose plain woven textiles such as unbleached linen or textured cotton in cream, soft chalk, or pale grey to keep the wider room feeling airy.
• Bring in subtle metallic touches like aged brass or antique bronze hardware, which harmonise naturally with the Rococo-inspired fresco aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on a warm beige ground accented with antique pastel tones of muted rose pink, soft sky blue, pale yellow, and sage green. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, and skirting, we suggest drawing out the warm undertones of the background with warm off-whites, creamy stone, or soft greige. For a slightly more tonal scheme, picking up the gentle sage green or faded dusty blue on painted interior doors or built-in joinery grounds the floral motif while maintaining a harmonious, cohesive feel throughout the space.
