Wallpaper - Amaryllis Army

Created by Cheri Blum, our Amaryllis Army wallpaper brings the warm, expressive character of a classical oil painting directly to the wall. Tall brick-red and terracotta amaryllis blooms rise on slender green stems against a softly aged, cracked-plaster background, creating a composition with both height and breathing space. We especially like the visual contrast between the bold floral heads and the delicate, weathered surface behind them. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design has a subtle structure in the paper that complements its artistic heritage feel.

In the room

The strong upward movement of the stems makes this design particularly effective on walls where you want to draw the eye upward and emphasise ceiling height. In a dining room, we love positioning the wallpaper along the main wall beside the dining table, where the terracotta blooms can sit above chair height and create a warm, inviting backdrop during evening gatherings.

The composition also works wonderfully in an entryway or hallway. Because the motif is anchored along the lower portion with generous open space in the upper background, it brings artistic energy into narrower circulation areas without overwhelming them. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa keeps the full structure of the stems and flowers on display, making the artwork a natural focal point across a wider uninterrupted wall.

Styling it

The heritage aesthetic of this botanical design pairs naturally with classic and vintage-inspired interior pieces. We suggest working with warm, medium-to-dark wood finishes such as walnut or aged oak, which echo the earthy undertones of the stems and blooms.

To keep the focus on the painted floral motif, we would keep surrounding upholstery relatively calm, choosing textured natural fabrics like heavy plain weaves or brushed cotton in muted neutral tones. Subtle antique brass accents on wall sconces or low cabinetry hardware provide just enough warmth to highlight the rich red petals without competing with the overall artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich brick red, earthy terracotta, olive greens, and a warm, off-white background with subtle beige craquelure.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend pulling the warm, muted cream from the background to create a soft transition that lets the mural carry the primary color. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere with deeper contrast, a rich olive or moss green on the surrounding woodwork or skirting boards will tie in with the foliage and ground the room beautifully.
