Wallpaper - Forte Florals I

Created by artist Cheryl Warrick, our Forte Florals I wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly composition of abstract botanical forms to the wall. Fluid watercolour washes in warm yellow, ochre, coral and soft pink mingle with leafy greens, sky blues and bold charcoal linework against a clean cream ground. The open visual rhythm and layered mark-making give the design the spontaneous energy of an original studio painting, making it a vibrant focal point. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang.

In the room

We particularly like this design in spaces where its creative rhythm can be appreciated across a clear, open wall. In a living room or dining room, positioning the wallpaper along a primary accent wall allows the lively dance of floral shapes and fine line details to spread out without interruption. It also works wonderfully in a bedroom behind the headboard or in a bright home office, where the playful botanicals introduce warmth and artistic character. Because the cream background keeps the composition airy, the design sits just as comfortably in an entryway or playroom as it does across a dedicated feature wall in a study.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and colours take centre stage, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, contemporary silhouettes. Mid-century modern sideboards or simple wooden dining tables in warm tones like ash or pale oak ground the energetic shapes nicely without competing for attention.

For surrounding textures, matte ceramic vases, woven natural fibres, or simple linen upholstery complement the painterly feel of the artwork. Keeping larger pieces relatively understated helps balance the detailed pattern, allowing the wallpaper to carry the visual story of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a rich palette of sunny yellow, earthy ochre, warm coral and blush pink, balanced by leafy olive greens and accents of charcoal and soft blue over a warm cream backdrop.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, a soft off-white or warm cream will mirror the wallpaper's light background and keep the interior bright. If you prefer to draw out the deeper notes, surrounding trim in a muted olive green, warm taupe or soft terracotta creates a grounded, cohesive look that ties directly into the botanical elements.
