Wallpaper - Whispering Poppies

Created in collaboration with artist Julia Purinton, our Whispering Poppies wallpaper captures delicate red poppies and subtle pink accents moving through a field of wild meadow grass and leafy foliage. The design brings together soft, painterly brushwork with an earthy palette, drawing inspiration from nineteenth-century impressionist art and traditional landscape painting. Printed as custom wall murals tailored to your exact wall dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical structure in the paper that complements the visual depth of the artwork.

In the room

Because the meadow motif carries a gentle horizontal flow and fluid brushwork, we like this design best on walls where the painted scene can unfold naturally. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper behind the bed creates an inviting backdrop that anchors the entire space without feeling heavy or visually crowded.

The design also works wonderfully across a wider, uninterrupted wall in a living room or dining room. The mix of soft earthy greens, warm neutrals, and scattered red petals provides plenty of fine detail when seen up close, while still reading as a cohesive, balanced composition from across the room. For spaces with generous natural light, the subtle shifts in the painted grasses and floral accents become especially rewarding to look at throughout the day.

Styling it

The historic, impressionist character of the artwork lends itself naturally to cottage, French country, and classic English country aesthetics:

• Choose warm, natural wood furniture such as antique pine, warm oak, or fruitwood to echo the earthy undertones of the meadow background.
• Introduce soft, unpretentious textiles in undyed cotton, slubby linen, or lightweight wool to mirror the organic movement of the painted foliage.
• Use muted ceramic table lamps or aged brass accents to complement the warm reds and earthy greens without pulling attention away from the mural.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a balanced palette of soft poppy red, warm earthy meadow tones, leafy greens, and gentle accents of pink set against a warm, painterly backdrop.

When choosing paint for surrounding surfaces, we recommend pairing this design with muted off-whites, creamy linen tones, or pale plaster hues on adjacent walls and trim. If you want to lean into the deeper botanical elements, a muted olive or soft sage green on painted cabinetry or wainscoting creates a grounded, tailored relationship with the foliage in the motif.
