Wallpaper - The Bucket of List

In The Bucket of List, created by Tanja Smedh, a serene upward-gazing face emerges from an ornate decorative vessel, surrounded by a lush crown of blooming flowers in poppy red, dusty purple, peach, and coral. Whimsical Art Nouveau-inspired swirls and soft circular forms in muted teal and pale green fill the background, giving the artwork a dreamy, collage-like character. We produce this design as a made-to-measure wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, offering a PVC-free wall covering that brings distinctive artistic storytelling to interior spaces.

In the room

Because of the strong central focal point and the expressive floral crown radiating outward, this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the composition can unfold fully. In a bedroom, we would place this mural behind the headboard, allowing the peaceful closed-eyes motif to set an artistic, serene tone without competing with tall storage pieces. The wallpaper also suits an art studio or a dedicated meditation space, where the flowing organic lines and expansive floral motifs create an inspiring backdrop. Giving the mural generous wall width allows the sweeping curves and bubble-like background elements to frame the central portrait naturally.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with relatively quiet furniture forms that let the intricate floral details remain the focal point. Low-profile headboards, sleek sideboards, or unadorned credenzas work particularly well beneath the design, keeping the lower part of the wall clear of visual clutter.

For surrounding materials, warm wood tones such as walnut or mid-toned oak complement the vintage, Art Nouveau undertones of the illustration. Matte ceramic accents or muted painted surfaces in soft sage and warm neutrals help anchor the room without clashing with the artwork’s vibrant blooms.

Colour combinations

The motif contains a rich palette of coral red, dusty lilac, warm orange, soft peach, and deep teal, set against a backdrop of seafoam green and gentle amber tones. When selecting complementary colours for adjacent walls, trim, or textiles, consider these directions:

• Soft sage or muted teal drawn directly from the background swirls, providing a soothing, cohesive transition across neighbouring walls.
• Warm parchment or soft biscuit white for woodwork and ceiling surfaces to keep the room light while maintaining a gentle vintage feel.
• Deep plum, aubergine, or terracotta accents in cushions and throws to pick up the deeper tones within the petals.
