Wallpaper - Optimism Bouquet

Created by Jeanette Vertentes, our Optimism Bouquet wallpaper brings an expressive, painted floral arrangement onto a generous scale. The motif centres on a vibrant bouquet gathered in a glass vase, featuring stylised anemones and lush blossoms in warm peach, soft pink, crisp white, and deep teal foliage. Bold, visible brushstrokes and dynamic colour accents give the composition an energetic, contemporary character. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper is printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that complements the painterly quality of the original artwork.

In the room

Because the composition is arranged as a central floral still life with significant visual presence, we see this working best on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a dining room, positioning the mural behind the main dining table creates an immediate focal point that anchors the seating area. In a living room, it sits comfortably on the primary wall behind a sofa, where the upper blossoms remain fully visible above low-backed seating.

The vibrant colours also make this an appealing choice for a bright bedroom, acting as a statement backdrop behind a simple headboard. To let the painted bouquet hold its shape in the space, we suggest keeping tall storage units and high shelving on adjacent walls rather than against the mural itself.

Styling it

The expressive, colourful nature of this design invites an eclectic or modern interior style that balances playful art with grounded furnishings.

• Keep large furniture pieces in neutral tones or light wood so the bold brushwork remains the main visual feature in the room.
• Draw on the deeper teal and blue strokes in the foliage when selecting smaller accent pieces like cushions, ceramic vases, or occasional seating.
• Choose furniture with clean, simple profiles to provide a calm contrast against the loose, energetic forms of the painted petals.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design combines soft base tones of peach, pale pink, and off-white with lively pops of turquoise, teal, orange, and golden yellow.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, soft warm whites, muted blush, or light putty tones provide a seamless, quiet transition that keeps the room feeling bright and open. If you prefer a moodier or more contrasting look, pulling out the deep teal or muted slate blue from the stems and leaves creates a rich backdrop for painted woodwork or adjoining rooms.
