Wallpaper - The Bucket of List

Designed by Tanja Smedh, our The Bucket of List wallpaper brings a surreal, whimsical scene alive through an imaginative blend of portraiture and botanical illustration. A calm face with closed eyes emerges gently from an ornamental vase, enveloped by rich blooms in vibrant red, coral, warm orange, and violet. Swirling organic lines and soft cloud-like shapes in green, teal, and pale yellow drift through the background, giving the composition an expressive, Art Nouveau-inspired character. We produce this design as made-to-measure mural wallpapers printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an artistic focal point tailored to your exact wall dimensions.

In the room

Because of its horizontal flow and centered figurative focal point, we see this design working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall. In a bedroom, placing the motif behind a low bed frame allows the serene face and rising floral bouquet to command visual attention without being cut off by tall furniture. The expressive, illustrative style also makes it a striking choice for a private art studio, creative workspace, or quiet meditation room where you want a visually rich backdrop. Giving the wallpaper plenty of open space lets the balance between the dense floral cluster and the lighter, swirling backdrop read clearly across the entire room.

Styling it

To let the detailed linework and rich floral tones lead the interior, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated. Clean, low-profile furniture in muted tones creates a grounding contrast against the surreal artwork without competing with its organic curves.

When introducing accents, smooth ceramic pieces or matte painted finishes harmonize nicely with the delicate, painterly quality of the motif. Choosing solid fabrics rather than competing patterned textiles ensures the wall remains the primary visual statement in the space.

Color combinations

Our design weaves together vibrant red, peach, orange, and purple flowers against a soft backdrop of muted greens, teals, and soft yellows. The vase itself features deep teal and seafoam tones defined by dark, graceful contours.

When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, pulling a pale sage green or soft cream from the background creates a cohesive, gentle envelope around the room. For a bolder look on cabinetry or nearby doors, picking up the deeper plum, warm terracotta, or muted forest green from the floral petals ties the entire color scheme together.
