Wallpaper - Maude Gray

Our Maude Gray wallpaper brings together three white peonies in full bloom, arranged in a round, glossy vase against a quiet background of soft gray tones. Created in collaboration with artist Haley Knighten, this still life design uses visible painterly brushwork and smooth tonal transitions that give the floral motif an intimate, oil painting appearance. Deep green foliage provides clear contrast against the pearl white petals, grounding the composition while keeping the overall palette refined and neutral. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper has a subtle physical structure in the paper and is easy to hang in any room.

In the room

We see this floral composition working particularly well in spaces dedicated to rest or shared conversation, such as a main bedroom, guest room, or living room. Because the artwork is arranged as a centered still life study, it naturally commands visual attention when placed on a primary accent wall. In a bedroom, we would position the wallpaper directly behind the headboard, allowing the blooming peonies to anchor the focal point of the space.

In a living room or sitting area, this design benefits from being displayed on a relatively open wall where the full painted vignette can be appreciated without heavy visual obstruction. The soft gray field surrounding the vase allows the motif to breathe, which helps the wallpaper feel balanced even in smaller or more compact rooms.

Styling it

To complement the quiet character of the artwork, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with understated furniture and organic accents:

• Choose low-profile furniture in pale woods, like white oak or natural ash, to maintain an open and airy feel that echoes the painting's neutral tones.
• Introduce soft upholstery in unbleached cotton, bouclé, or woven wool in shades of cream, off-white, or heather gray to complement the delicate petals without competing with the motif.
• Accent with dark matte ceramics or blackened metal details on lighting and hardware to subtly mirror the deep greens and shaded contours of the vase.

Color combinations

The core palette of our design relies on pearl white, soft gray, muted silver tones, and rich leafy greens. When planning the rest of your room, we recommend drawing from these neutral foundations.

Adjacent walls look harmonious painted in chalky whites, pale dove gray, or muted oyster tones. For trim, molding, and doors, a soft off-white creates a gentle transition from the gray backdrop of the mural. If you want to introduce a touch of subtle contrast through decorative textiles or occasional chairs, muted sage, olive, or deep forest green will pick up the tones found within the peony leaves.
