Wallpaper - Escaping the Frame

Designed by Tanja Smedh, our Escaping the Frame wallpaper brings together vivid carmine red poppies and an intricate Art Nouveau architectural structure. Geometric framing and soft beige background tones anchor the composition, while delicate green foliage and subtle hints of blue introduce depth and visual rhythm across the repeat. The symmetrical layout gives the organic floral elements a grounded, decorative presence on the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of its balanced symmetry and strong decorative character, we see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room, living room, bedroom, or entryway hallway. On a wider living room or dining room wall, the full repeat has space to breathe, allowing the contrast between the linear frames and flowing poppy petals to become a primary focal point. In a bedroom, placing the design behind a headboard creates an intentional, framed backdrop that centers the entire room. In narrower transitional spaces like a hallway or staircase, the vertical rhythm of the pattern adds height and interest along the wall.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper lead the room and pairing it with furniture that shares its sense of craft and proportion.

• Warm, medium to dark wood furniture, such as walnut, cherry, or antique mahogany, echoes the historic Art Nouveau feel of the design without competing with the red floral motif.
• Keep large upholstered pieces and drapery in calm, neutral textiles like natural linen or textured unbleached cotton to give the eye a quiet place to rest against the detailed pattern.
• Subtle antique brass, aged bronze, or matte black accents in lighting fixtures and hardware will naturally pick up the ink-drawn line work and geometric framing.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around rich carmine red, soft earthy beige, muted greens, and delicate touches of blue. To build a cohesive palette around it, we suggest pulling the soft beige or warm stone tones onto adjacent walls, baseboards, and door trims for an enveloping feel. For upholstery or accent pieces, deep moss green or subtle slate blue will connect directly with the foliage and shading in the print, while warm off-white trim keeps the overall space bright and grounded.
