Wallpaper - Summer Stems V

Our Summer Stems V wallpaper by Beth Grove pairs a prominent watercolor-style bow with a delicate woven-look plaid ground. The central ribbon features a classic checkered pattern in cornflower blue and soft white, rendered with visible painted brush variations and gentle shading that give it a crafted, nostalgic character. Behind the bow, fine intersecting lines in muted beige and cream form a textured grid that balances the bold focal element. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang while bringing vintage-inspired warmth to any interior.

In the room

Because of the defined central focal point, we see this wall mural working exceptionally well on an accent wall where the motif has space to breathe. In a nursery, toddler room, or child's playroom, placing the design behind a crib, daybed, or low bookcase creates an inviting backdrop without overwhelming the space. The restrained beige grid also makes it a charming option for smaller, more intimate spaces such as a dressing room, hobby room, laundry room, or country-style kitchen dining nook. On shorter or narrower wall sections, the delicate backdrop provides visual structure while the painted bow anchors the area.

Styling it

We recommend leaning into traditional, cottage, or French country styling elements that complement the vintage feel of the artwork. Painted wooden furniture in crisp off-white or soft cream echoes the lighter checks, while light natural wood tones like ash or pale birch keep the overall setting grounded and airy. To balance the checkered ribbon, keep surrounding fabrics and upholstery relatively simple, opting for solid woven textures, gentle ruffles, or soft quilted accents rather than competing geometric prints.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers around shades of cornflower blue, slate blue, off-white, and warm beige. For surrounding walls, trim, or wainscoting, we suggest soft chalky whites, pale cream, or a warm biscuit beige that matches the background grid. If you want to highlight the blue tones, pairing the design with soft sky blue or muted French blue accents across painted woodwork, cabinetry, or window treatments creates a cohesive and classic palette.
