Wallpaper - Escaping the Frame

Our Escaping the Frame wallpaper, designed by Tanja Smedh, brings together bold carmine red poppies and an intricate Art Nouveau architectural structure. Symmetrical geometric frames in soft beige anchor the composition, while delicate green foliage and subtle hints of blue introduce depth and visual rhythm. The floral motifs break past their geometric borders, creating a striking sense of organic movement across an orderly repeat. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this made-to-measure design offers a rich, decorative character that works naturally across both classic and contemporary interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room, living room, or primary bedroom where its structured symmetry can serve as a strong visual anchor. The balance between geometric framing and free-flowing poppies makes it particularly effective on a main feature wall, such as behind a dining table or behind a bedhead, where the full repeat remains clearly visible. In a hallway or entryway, the vertical cadence of the frames guides the eye through the space while adding warmth to transitional areas. Because the pattern is rich in detail without feeling chaotic, it can easily handle both high ceilings and standard wall heights without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To let the graphic strength of the wallpaper take the lead, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Warm, medium-to-dark wood pieces, such as walnut or stained oak, sit comfortably alongside the earthy beige background and deep red petals. In terms of textiles, plain woven fabrics in muted linen or soft wool allow the intricate ink-drawn style of the motif to stand out without competing for visual attention. Incorporating understated antique brass or patinated bronze details in lighting and hardware echoes the Art Nouveau aesthetic while keeping the overall space feeling modern and considered.

Colour combinations

The design is built around vivid carmine red, warm beige, leaf green, and understated touches of blue. When selecting colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, muted stone, warm taupe, or soft oatmeal create a harmonious and calming transition that complements the beige background. For a moodier, more tailored scheme, drawing out the deep olive green from the leaves or an off-black tone onto surrounding trim or cabinetry will frame the mural wallpapers beautifully and give the entire room a cohesive, immersive feel.
