Wallpaper - Summer Brights

Our Summer Brights wallpaper, designed by Kristy Rice, brings the open, fluid character of watercolour painting directly to the wall. Set against a clean white ground, the design features expressive red and pink blooms, including poppy motifs with delicate petals and slender green foliage. The watercolour-style brushwork gives the floral composition an airy, spontaneous feel, balancing rich carmine and soft pastel tones with fresh botanical greens. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle physical structure in the paper, it offers a distinct, light-filled focal point while remaining simple to hang.

In the room

We see our Summer Brights design working particularly well in spaces where its open composition and botanical palette can set a warm, welcoming tone. In a bedroom, placing this wall mural behind the bed creates an inviting backdrop that feels cheerful yet gentle, especially in rooms that enjoy soft morning daylight. The crisp white background keeps the pattern looking light, preventing the red and pink tones from overwhelming smaller or medium-sized rooms.

In a main living room, the design makes a wonderful feature across a broader, uninterrupted wall where the full movement of the floral elements can breathe. Because the painted petals and delicate leaves are spaced across a clear white canvas, the mural wallpapers interact naturally with ambient daylight, highlighting the subtle differences in wash and pigment across the flowers.

Styling it

The expressive watercolour florals and heritage French country notes in this design pair naturally with quiet, considered furnishings that allow the motif to lead the room.

We would look to balance the wallpaper with furniture in painted off-white finishes, pale birch, or soft natural timber, which echo the lightness of the background without competing for attention. Keeping large upholstered pieces, such as sofas or headboards, in neutral woven textures allows the rich reds and warm pinks on the wall to stand out as the primary decorative accent. For smaller touches, incorporating matte ceramic vessels or clear glass vases reinforces the delicate, artistic quality of the painted flowers.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded by a crisp white base, carrying vivid carmine, softer pastel pinks, and fresh leafy greens.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and major textiles, we recommend working with these core tones:

• Soft warm whites or pale off-white paint on adjoining walls and skirting to maintain an airy, seamless connection with the wallpaper's background.
• Muted sage or soft olive greens on curtains, throws, or accent chairs to gently draw out the delicate stems and leaves.
• Muted rose, blush, or pale coral accents across cushions and bed linen to echo the warmer floral highlights.
