Wallpaper - Southern Tones II

Our Southern Tones II wallpaper by Lisa Audit brings together three decorative ceramic vases set against a soft, damask-inspired floral background. A tall red vase adorned with delicate botanical patterns anchors the left, balanced by a wide center vessel in warm orange holding fresh green foliage, while a deep red vase on the right introduces bolder green and terracotta-orange florals. The composition has the visual character of a classical oil painting still life, grounded in earthy tones of rust, warm red, and muted greens. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a dining room or living room, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a main feature wall where the still life arrangement can be viewed as a complete, grounded composition. The visual weight sits in the lower half of the design across the three vases, leaving the softer floral background to rise gently toward the ceiling. This vertical balance makes it especially suited for placement behind a low-backed dining credenza or living room sofa, where the furniture does not obscure the primary ceramic forms.

For an entryway or a quiet study or library, the warm rust and earthy red palette creates an inviting, enveloping atmosphere. The design also translates beautifully into a bedroom setting behind the headboard, where the balanced arrangement of pottery and foliage introduces an artistic focal point without overwhelming the rest of the space.

Styling it

The classical heritage character of this design pairs naturally with traditional and transitional interiors. We suggest styling around the mural with:

• Warm, medium to dark wood furniture, such as walnut, cherry, or vintage mahogany, which echoes the traditional still life feel and complements the depth of the red and rust tones.
• Upholstery and window treatments in understated earthy textures, keeping surrounding fabrics relatively simple so the detailed botanical patterns on the pottery remain the visual highlight.
• Subtle antique brass or muted bronze hardware on cabinetry or lighting fixtures, harmonizing with the warm undertones in the background pattern.

Color combinations

The primary palette within our wallpaper centers on warm terracotta orange, deep rust red, and rich foliage greens against a soft, neutral patterned background. When selecting colors for surrounding walls, trim, or major furnishings, we recommend pulling directly from these warm, earthy notes.

A muted warm cream or soft sand on adjacent walls keeps the room cohesive while letting the deeper reds in the vessels take center stage. For trim, molding, or painted cabinetry, a deep olive green or an earthy rust tone creates a deliberate, grounding accent that ties directly into the leaves and floral motifs inside the mural wallpapers.
