Wallpaper - Red Salvia Imagined

Our Red Salvia Imagined wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly landscape directly to your walls. Designed by Shirley Novak, the motif captures an imaginative floral field with thick, gestural brushwork where vivid scarlet, coral, and burnt orange accents emerge through layers of earthy moss, olive, and deep forest greens. The composition carries an organic upward movement, balancing grounded herbal tones in the lower foreground with spirited floral energy across the upper section. Produced as a made-to-measure design on our PVC-free paper, this wallpaper offers an artful, gallery-like presence with a subtle paper texture that gives any room a warm, distinctive character.

In the room

We see this expressive design working beautifully across an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or a dedicated art studio. Because the artwork features a rich density of brushstrokes and vertical movement, it thrives on an uninterrupted wall where the full painted composition can unfold without too many tall bookcases breaking the flow. In a dining space or behind a low-profile sofa, the deeper olive and moss tones anchor the lower visual plane, while the vibrant red and orange highlights draw the eye upward, bringing dynamic energy into the space. The natural earthy palette also feels right at home in a bedroom or study, adding an inviting, organic atmosphere that feels connected to nature.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painterly character of the wallpaper take center stage, we recommend pairing it with quieter, grounded interior furnishings. Mid-toned or warm natural woods, such as walnut, warm oak, or stained timber, echo the deep undercurrents of the artwork and add architectural grounding to the room. When choosing seating or larger upholstered pieces, simple silhouettes in muted linen, warm oatmeal, or charcoal create a balanced contrast against the thick, fluid brushwork of the design. Matte black metal lighting or aged bronze accents provide subtle definition that complements the expressive, Impressionist-inspired style of the mural.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich foundation of earthy army greens, olive, moss, and warm brown undertones, punctuated by vivid splashes of red salvia, coral, ochre, and saffron. For surrounding walls and trim, we like soft muted tones that let the mural stand out, such as a pale stone, warm ivory, or a desaturated sage that ties into the background foliage. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping interior, deep olive green or rich terracotta on adjacent walls will seamlessly draw out the warm accents within the painted floral stems.
