Wallpaper - Vase with Twelve Sunflowers

Our Vase with Twelve Sunflowers wallpaper brings Vincent van Gogh’s iconic still life to an architectural scale, presenting twelve expressive sunflowers in varying stages of bloom. Rendered with painterly brushwork and rich movement, bright sunflower yellows and deep brown centres stand out against a soft, textured light blue backdrop, while the yellow vase rests on a warm brown foreground plane. What we particularly like about this design is the vibrant interplay between the warm golden tones and the cooler background, creating a balanced, artistic presence. Our wall murals are made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper carries such an identifiable, expressive composition, we see it working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home library. The visual weight of the vase and the energetic spread of the blooms benefit from a relatively uninterrupted wall, allowing the full painterly arrangement to be seen without heavy visual breaks. In a living room, placing this design behind a lower-profile sofa or on a central focal wall gives the artwork room to breathe. The contrasting light blue field also helps ground the warmer yellow tones, giving the motif presence in both naturally bright rooms and quieter, shaded spaces where warmer lamps can highlight the golden hues.

Styling it

When styling around such a distinct, painterly floral piece, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture silhouettes relatively quiet and grounded. Clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture allows the wallpaper to remain the primary decorative voice in the room without competing patterns.

Darker wood tones or warm mid-toned timber pieces sit naturally alongside the earthy brown tabletop within the motif, while matte painted furniture in soft neutrals can echo the quiet backdrop. To keep the focus on the artwork, we would avoid overly ornate, busy furnishings and instead select solid textiles in complementary neutral shades.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is defined by radiant sunflower yellows, golden ochres, rich earthy browns, deep purple accents at the base of the vase, and a contrasting light blue background.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend soft off-whites, warm pale greys, or muted cream tones that provide a gentle frame without competing with the gold tones. If you want to draw out the deeper notes of the composition, consider incorporating accents in rich chestnut, deep chocolate brown, or muted plum through larger furniture pieces or upholstery. For a fresher, cohesive look, pale dusty blue on adjoining surfaces beautifully echoes the sky-toned ground of the original artwork.
