Wallpaper - Gardening in Mauve

Our Gardening in Mauve wallpaper presents an expressive floral still life created by Shirley Novak, painted with rich, painterly impasto strokes and lively splashes of colour. Blossom forms in soft mauve, lavender, pink, and deep violet spread across a clean, pale background, brightened by chartreuse and yellow centres and accented with olive greenery. The open composition balances bold floral shapes with spontaneous paint flecks, giving the design an energetic yet light visual character on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings artistic warmth to contemporary interiors.

In the room

In a living room or bedroom, we would place this design on a main feature wall, such as behind a sofa or behind a bed frame. The generous scale of the blossoms and the dynamic upward movement of the stems work best when given an uninterrupted wall where the full painted composition can breathe. It also works beautifully in a dressing room, study, or hallway entry, where the light background keeps the area feeling open while the floral motif provides an artistic focal point.

Styling it

Because the artwork has a textured, painterly presence, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean in silhouette. Streamlined contemporary pieces in warm neutral tones allow the expressive brushwork to stand out without visual competition.

To complement the floral composition, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple upholstery in natural woven textures and understated woodwork in pale or medium tones. Restrained decorative elements let the lively mauve, violet, and chartreuse accents remain the defining character of the space.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette of mauve, lavender, blush pink, and deep purple, balanced by lively yellow-green centres, olive leaves, and small touches of cornflower blue against an off-white background.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend soft off-white or light warm grey to echo the background and maintain an airy atmosphere. If you prefer a richer interior scheme, pulling out a muted lavender or a soft moss green for painted trim creates a harmonious connection with the floral tones in the wallpaper.
