Wallpaper - Abstract Stems II

Created by Cheryl Warrick, our Abstract Stems II wallpaper pairs bold, graphic botanicals with an understated grid background. The composition features two large, stylised red blossoms with delicate white petal linework, balanced by winding olive-green stems and pointed foliage. A subtle print-like texture gives the flat shapes depth and character, while the soft cream grid anchors the floral forms with modern structure. We produce all our mural wallpapers made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to bring expressive artwork into your interior.

In the room

With its large motif scale and clean visual rhythm, this design works especially well as a focal point across an open wall area. We see it suiting a living room wall behind a sofa, a dining area where the graphic shapes have room to breathe, or a welcoming hallway where the bold floral forms create an immediate sense of character.

Because the background features a calm grid pattern on warm cream, the design provides visual interest without overwhelming the space. In a bedroom, placing this wallpaper on the wall behind the headboard frames the bed nicely while keeping the surrounding atmosphere relaxed. If your room has tall ceilings or wide uninterrupted walls, the sweeping movement of the stems and leaves shows to full advantage, giving the whole room an artful, considered feel.

Styling it

The graphic quality and warm palette of this wallpaper give you plenty of scope for interior styling. We suggest balancing the bold red blooms with grounded, natural materials and clean silhouettes.

• Pair the wallpaper with mid-tone or light natural wood furniture, such as a pale ash dining table, a low-slung oak sideboard, or simple birch shelving, which echoes the organic theme of the botanical forms.
• Choose upholstered seating or bedding in neutral off-white, oat, or light warm grey to allow the coral-red petals and olive leaves to serve as the dominant visual statement.
• Introduce dark accents through matte black metal curtain rods, iron lighting fixtures, or framed prints on adjoining walls to pick up on the structured feel of the background grid.
• Layer in woven textiles like textured wool rugs, washed linen throws, or plain cushions in muted moss green to quietly tie the foliage tones across the rest of the room.

Colour combinations

Our design centres on a lively palette of rich coral red and muted olive green, set against a soft off-white background with pale beige grid lines.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we recommend picking up on the cream base tone with warm chalky whites, pale biscuit, or soft linen shades. If you want a more defined transition, a deep forest green or muted olive on adjacent walls or painted cabinetry complements the botanical stems naturally. For soft furnishings and accents, small touches of terracotta, warm ochre, or poppy red can extend the warmth of the flowers throughout the space without competing with the main design.
