Wallpaper - White Poinsettia

Our White Poinsettia wallpaper brings together soft botanical forms and a gentle, painterly feel. Designed by Kathleen Parr McKenna, the motif features layered white and ivory poinsettia blooms, painted with delicate watercolour-like touches of soft yellow and pale green across the petals. Fine veining and warm orange-yellow centres give each flower subtle definition, while rich, dark green foliage fills the background to create natural depth and contrast. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, our wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang and make an elegant botanical statement in your home.

In the room

We see this floral design working particularly well in spaces where you want a calm, organic focal point without overwhelming the interior. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper on the wall behind the headboard frames the bed beautifully, letting the soft petals sit at eye level. The balance of light ivory blooms and deep green leaves also makes it a lovely choice for a dining room or living room, especially on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full botanical composition has space to unfold.

For smaller or more transitional areas, such as an entryway, dressing room, or powder room, the design brings an immediate sense of botanical charm. In rooms with generous daylight, the delicate shifts in tone across the ivory petals become especially noticeable, while softer ambient lighting in the evening draws out the warmth in the flower centres and the deep tones of the background foliage.

Styling it

To complement the classic, cottage-inspired feel of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, understated furnishings that let the botanical detail remain the centre of attention. Natural wood finishes, from pale ash to warm mid-tone timber, sit comfortably alongside the foliage tones, while painted furniture in soft off-white or muted cream echoes the petals.

When choosing textiles and upholstery, consider plain weaves and unpatterned fabrics that provide a calm backdrop to the floral artwork. Keeping decorative accents quiet, perhaps with subtle ceramics or understated brass hardware, helps maintain a balanced, timeless atmosphere throughout the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres around soft white, warm ivory, and deep botanical green, highlighted with gentle touches of yellow and warm orange at the core of each bloom.

When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest picking up on these hues across neighbouring walls, woodwork, and major furnishings. A warm off-white or soft linen shade on adjacent walls keeps the room light and cohesive. Alternatively, drawing out the deeper olive and forest greens from the background leaves on painted woodwork, skirting boards, or cabinetry creates a grounded, sophisticated contrast that complements the lighter petals.
