Wallpaper - Poppy Float

In our Poppy Float wallpaper, created by Andrea Sjöström, three distinct blooms take centre stage: a vivid red poppy with painterly watercolour brushwork, soft pink alstroemeria blossoms in mid-bloom, and a full magenta chrysanthemum. Behind these prominent botanicals, a warm cream backdrop carries faint sketches of delicate wildflowers, trailing stems, and muted green ferns. This layered composition gives the design a subtle sense of artistic depth without overwhelming the eye. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our design brings an expressive yet balanced botanical feel to your walls.

In the room

We love seeing this design on a generous, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full trio of flowers and the softer background sketches can be appreciated together. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully as a focal point behind the headboard, where the warm cream ground keeps the overall atmosphere gentle while the rich crimson and magenta blooms introduce purposeful colour. In a living room or dining room, Poppy Float provides an artistic anchor on an accent wall, especially where dining tables or low-backed seating leave the floral details visible across the mid-section of the wall.

The lighter cream base also makes this pattern well suited to narrower spaces like an entryway or dressing room, where you want to add distinct visual character without making the room feel enclosed. Because the composition balances bold botanical focal points with quiet, sketch-like negative space, it sits comfortably alongside daylight from nearby windows, allowing the subtle shifts between blush, pale green, and deeper petals to show clearly.

Styling it

To let the painterly quality of the floral motif stand out, we suggest pairing Poppy Float with clean-lined furniture and unpretentious materials. The design carries both contemporary energy and traditional botanical charm, making it easy to incorporate into modern, transitional, or heritage-inspired homes.

• Balance the saturated floral reds and pinks with furniture in mid-toned or pale woods, which ground the room without competing with the artwork.
• Select upholstery and major textiles in neutral tones such as off-white, oatmeal, or soft grey to keep the surrounding space calm and cohesive.
• Introduce understated brushed metal hardware or simple glazed ceramic decorative accents to complement the painterly character of the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Poppy Float wallpaper is built around a warm cream background, enriched by bold primary accents of poppy red, deep magenta, and rose pink, with secondary hints of moss green and pale blush in the delicate linework.

When choosing colours for adjacent walls, trim, and large decor pieces, we recommend pulling directly from the quieter tones in the background. A soft, warm off-white or light parchment on surrounding walls maintains an open, cohesive look. If you prefer subtle colour on woodwork or cabinetry, an earthy muted sage or dusty celadon green connects naturally with the fern sketches. For smaller decorative accents, picking up deeper tones of raspberry or muted rust can gently echo the floral petals throughout the rest of the room.
