Wallpaper - Books and Blooms II

Our Books and Blooms II wallpaper pairs a vibrant bouquet of pink, orange, and red roses with delicate white blossoms and green foliage, arranged gracefully atop three stacked antique-style books. Illustrated by Yvette St. Amant, the composition sits against a soft cream backdrop accented by subtle cursive script, giving the motif a distinct literary and vintage character. The warm coral and pastel tones bring life and colour to a wall without feeling overwhelming. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper, this design provides a refined focal point suited to reading nooks, bedrooms, and studies.

In the room

We find that this design works particularly well in spaces dedicated to quiet moments, such as a home library, study, or a cosy corner of a living room. Because the floral arrangement and book stack form a defined, self-contained still-life composition, we would place this wallpaper on a feature wall or behind a low piece of furniture where the complete motif remains visible. In a bedroom, it sits beautifully behind a bed frame or opposite a dressing area, where the warm rose and coral tones create an inviting, classic atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the vintage, heritage feel of the illustration, we suggest pairing this design with traditional or transitional furnishings. Darker timber pieces, such as mahogany or walnut side tables and shelving, naturally echo the antique character of the illustrated book bindings. For soft furnishings, classic woven textiles in unbleached linen, cream wool, or muted velvet allow the vibrant petals in the artwork to stand out without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a gentle cream base with rich coral, blush pink, and warm red tones across the petals, balanced by leafy greens and muted purple along the book spines. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-white, antique ivory, or soft stone paint colours will create a seamless, harmonious backdrop. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling out a rich sage green or a muted plum from the motif for adjacent panelling or skirting boards provides a sophisticated frame for the artwork.
