Wallpaper - Vintage Modern II

Our Vintage Modern II wallpaper, designed by Yvette St. Amant, combines soft, rounded floral shapes with delicate leaves in a balanced, modern composition. Inspired by classic Art Nouveau style and the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, the motif uses a light powder blue palette with a gentle watercolour-like appearance and subtle weathered visual texture. What we particularly appreciate about this floral design is how the clean graphic layout grounds the botanical forms, giving the pattern an airy yet considered rhythm across the wall. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a calm artistic presence to residential spaces.

In the room

We find that the open pacing and soft powder blue tones make this design remarkably versatile throughout the home. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully across the main wall behind a bed, introducing visual softness without feeling overly busy. The gentle contrast also suits a dining room or living room, particularly on a wider wall where the flowing floral stems and circular motifs have room to breathe. For smaller spaces like an entryway, guest room, or powder room, our wall murals create an inviting first impression without overwhelming compact wall areas.

Styling it

To complement the Arts and Crafts influence and delicate watercolour aesthetic, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furnishings that share a similar sense of craftsmanship. Mid-tone natural timbers, such as ash or light oak, sit comfortably against the pale blue background, highlighting the organic curves of the botanical shapes. Matte painted woodwork and simple, rounded furniture silhouettes echo the soft geometry of the petals without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding textiles quiet, perhaps in plain woven cottons or soft off-whites, allows the rhythm of the pattern to remain the main visual focus.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by soft powder blue tones set against a light background, accented with subtle variations in the watercolour washes. When decorating around this wallpaper, we like using complementary soft whites, warm ivory, or muted chalky neutrals on adjacent walls and skirting boards to maintain a light, coherent feel. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in dark slate blue or muted charcoal ground the floral forms effectively.
