Wallpaper - Mothers Treasures I Dark

Created by artist Lisa Audit, our Mothers Treasures I Dark wallpaper brings together vivid botanical elements with the layered feel of a vintage collage. At the centre, a rich red and yellow tulip rises against a deep, smooth black backdrop, flanked by soft yellow blooms and lush green foliage. Subtle secondary details, including a green butterfly resting on an antique postcard, a faint dragonfly sketch, and delicate cursive script, give the composition a painted, historical character with striking contrast. We produce all our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

With its dark ground and bold central focus, we see this design working beautifully as an accent wall in a dining room, living room, or study. Placing it behind a dining table or behind a low sofa gives the floral motif and delicate script room to stand out without competing with taller furniture. In a bedroom or guest room, positioning the wallpaper behind the bed creates a grounded, atmospheric backdrop that embraces the moody, classical still-life aesthetic.

Because the pattern relies on high contrast between the deep background and vibrant petals, it responds particularly well to soft, warm lamplight in the evening, which brings out the warmth of the yellow blooms and aged paper details. In a compact space like an entryway or powder room, wallpapering a single focused wall adds instant depth and visual interest without overwhelming the smaller floor plan.

Styling it

To complement the rich heritage feel of Lisa Audit's artwork, we recommend pairing our wallpaper with darker wood furniture, such as mahogany or walnut, which anchors the vintage mood. Alternatively, painted cabinetry in muted charcoal, deep forest green, or antique black creates a cohesive, tailored look that lets the red and yellow floral elements take centre stage.

For surrounding accents, aged brass lighting or antique gold frames naturally pick up on the warm undertones of the botanical illustrations and vintage postcard motif. We suggest keeping surrounding textiles relatively simple, such as unpatterned woven wools or heavier neutral drapes, to balance the intricate details of the floral collage.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a deep black background, accented with bright botanical red, golden yellow, soft cream, and verdant leaf green. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or trim, consider these directions:

A soft, warm cream or antique off-white on adjacent walls softens the high contrast and echoes the lighter tones of the vintage postcard and script.

A muted olive or deep forest green on trim or cabinetry ties directly into the foliage, pulling the botanical theme into the wider room.

A deep charcoal or soft black on surrounding woodwork creates a continuous, immersive space where the bright red and yellow petals genuinely stand out.
