Wallpaper - Spring Awakening

In our Spring Awakening wallpaper, artist Maggie Sackmann blends soft landscape impressions with expressive, painterly abstraction. Broad horizontal brushstrokes build a gentle gradient across the wall, moving from cool sky blues and pale grays at the top into a luminous center filled with soft pink, peach, warm yellow, and white touches that bring spring blooms and water reflections to mind. The lower section grounds the artwork with deeper sage and forest greens, creating a balanced, open horizon. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that complements the painted visual texture.

In the room

We especially like how the vertical flow of this mural works on a primary wall in a bedroom or living room. Because the palette stays light and airy in the upper third while carrying deeper greens toward the base, the wallpaper naturally anchors lower furniture without feeling heavy near the ceiling. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bed allows the headboard to align with the richer base tones while keeping the field above light and open. In a dining room or home office, giving the artwork a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the full sweep of horizontal brushwork and the impression of a landscape horizon to unfold properly.

Styling it

Because the artwork features dynamic brushstrokes and a multifaceted pastel palette, we recommend pairing it with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Simple Scandinavian or contemporary silhouettes let the mural act as the main expressive layer in the room.

To balance the colors, we would bring in furniture in light oak or painted neutral finishes alongside upholstery in quiet natural tones such as cream, soft stone, or pale sage. Keeping large rugs and window dressings relatively plain helps maintain visual clarity, allowing the pink and peach floral accents in the center of the design to remain the subtle focal point.

Color combinations

Our design features a rich mix of soft sky blue, warm peach, petal pink, butter yellow, and varying depths of sage and dark olive green.

For adjacent walls and painted trim, we suggest pulling from the paler tones in the upper sky area, such as a gentle off-white, soft gray, or very light sage. If you prefer a richer setting, choosing a deep green pulled from the base of the design for cabinetry or an accent piece creates a grounded, cohesive look across the entire space.
