Wallpaper - Secret Garden II

Created by Maggie Sackmann, Secret Garden II brings together thick, expressive strokes of oil paint across a deep forest green and dark charcoal ground. Vibrant dabs of pink, red, yellow, soft blue, and white blend across the composition like abstract floral blooms floating on water. The visible visual texture of impasto brush marks gives our wallpaper mural an energetic, painterly presence with genuine artistic depth. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure, this design brings an impressionistic, modern statement to any interior.

In the room

Because the composition is dynamic and full of expressive movement, we especially like Secret Garden II on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room behind a low sofa or in a bedroom behind the headboard, the bold strokes create an immediate focal point without overwhelming the space. The dark, atmospheric ground anchors the vibrant pops of color, making it equally effective in dining rooms where evening artificial light brings out the contrast of the lighter paint marks. In a home office or creative studio, having this wall mural across the main view adds an expressive, gallery-like feel. For hallways and staircase landings, the vertical flow of the brushstrokes guides the eye naturally through transitional areas.

Styling it

To balance the energetic visual weight of this wallpaper, we recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively grounded. Simple, streamlined silhouettes allow the expressive brushwork to remain the focus of the room. Warm, dark wood finishes such as walnut or stained oak echo the deep base tones of the motif, while matte black accents complement the darkest strokes. When selecting upholstery or textiles, we would choose solid, understated fabrics in muted neutrals or pull a single tone from the artwork, such as a deep blush or soft mustard, for smaller accent cushions.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper builds on a rich palette of deep forest green, dark charcoal, vibrant crimson, warm pink, butter yellow, crisp white, and sky blue. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a deep olive or muted forest green creates an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere. If you prefer a lighter look, warm off-whites, pale parchment, or soft stone on adjacent walls provide a clean frame that highlights the artwork's colourful brushwork.
