Wallpaper - Dark Summer Dreams

Our Dark Summer Dreams wallpaper brings together an expressive floral collage by Ludmila Shumilova, setting vibrant blooms against a rich, dark backdrop. The composition combines purple and blue hydrangeas, yellow and white roses, pink magnolias, and deep red berries, framed by lush green ferns. Painted in an oil-inspired, Baroque still life character, the high-contrast palette allows each petal and leaf to stand out with distinct clarity across the surface. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an artistic focal point in any interior.

In the room

We see this floral design working particularly well in spaces where you want a bold, atmospheric presence. In a bedroom, placing the design on the wall behind the headboard creates an intimate and enveloping focal wall, grounding the sleeping space with deep visual depth. In a living room, it performs wonderfully across a primary uninterrupted wall behind a sofa, where the varied botanicals and painterly details have plenty of room to unfold. The moody, dramatic contrast of our wall murals also makes them well suited to a quiet meditation room or reading corner, where the layered foliage and still-life atmosphere bring a considered, artistic feel to the space.

Styling it

Because our wallpaper carries a rich mix of botanical shapes and vibrant colours, we suggest balancing the space with relatively calm interior elements.

• Pair the wall with dark or warm wood furniture, such as walnut, to echo the depth of the dark backdrop and complement the heritage, classical feel of the artwork.
• Introduce understated, plain upholstery and larger textiles in quiet neutral tones, allowing the elaborate floral collage to remain the clear visual centrepiece of the room.
• Choose decorative accents in aged brass or antique bronze, which pick up the warm yellow undertones of the roses and harmonize with the Baroque still-life aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a diverse palette of deep purples, vivid blues, soft pinks, rich reds, and warm yellows, balanced by deep fern greens and an anchoring dark background. When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we like pulling out one of the deeper tones, such as a moody charcoal, forest green, or deep aubergine, to create a seamless, enveloping mood. If you prefer more contrast, pairing the design with soft off-white, muted warm stone, or subtle dusty pink trims keeps the surrounding space light while highlighting the colourful vibrancy within our wallpaper.
