Wallpaper - Beauty of Blue

A painterly study created with artist Kristy Rice, this floral wallpaper brings an expressive, watercolor-inspired motif to interior walls. The composition centres on an open bloom rendered in deep indigo and washed gray-blue, where concentrated pigment bleeds into soft, translucent washes and delicate speckled textures. Surrounding the petals, fluid line drawings of leaves and foliage weave across a clean white background, giving the pattern an airy sense of movement. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design offers an artistic focal point for contemporary living spaces and bedrooms.

In the room

Because the central flower and its surrounding leaves have an expressive, painterly scale, we see this wallpaper working especially well on an open, uninterrupted wall. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard creates a soft focal point without overwhelming the rest of the layout, as the generous white ground keeps the visual field light and breathable.

In a living room or a dedicated dining space, the cool indigo tones anchor the wall while allowing surrounding furniture to remain relatively quiet. The open spacing between the botanicals also suits rooms with moderate natural light, where the interplay between deep blue pigment and muted gray-blue washes remains distinct and nuanced throughout the day. For a powder room or dressing room, using it on a single statement wall brings an artistic character that feels balanced rather than dense.

Styling it

We recommend letting the fluid, hand-painted aesthetic of the motif guide the surrounding decor. Furniture with clean, organic silhouettes and low visual weight complements the movement of the watercolor strokes without competing with them.

In living or sleeping areas, pair the design with unadorned upholstery and natural textile weaves in off-white, cool gray, or muted slate. If introducing woodwork, lighter wood finishes such as ash or bleached oak maintain an airy, modern feel, while a piece in charcoal-stained wood can subtly echo the darker pigment in the petals. Keep wall accents minimal, allowing the delicate line work and pigment gradients to serve as the primary visual interest in the space.

Color combinations

The foundation of the artwork is built on intense indigo, slate blue, and soft gray-blue set against a crisp white background.

When choosing adjacent wall colors or large furniture pieces, soft off-whites, chalky grays, or subtle mineral tones work naturally alongside the white backdrop. For a moodier, high-contrast scheme, bringing in deep midnight blue or charcoal on baseboards, shelving, or an accent armchair pulls out the rich core of the watercolor petals. If you prefer a lighter, harmonious palette, muted blues and silvery grays provide a gentle continuation of the botanical washes.
