Wallpaper - Floral Damask & Bows, Midnight

Our Floral Damask & Bows, Midnight wallpaper, created in collaboration with RNM Arts, brings a classic Arts and Crafts sensibility to modern interiors. Set against a deep midnight black background with delicate vertical pinstripes, the design features intricate green acanthus foliage wrapping around stylised petrol blue blooms. Flowing periwinkle ribbons thread gracefully through the botanical structure, creating a balanced and rhythmic damask composition. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper introduces a rich, decorative presence that suits both period homes and characterful contemporary rooms.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces where you want to create an intimate, enveloping atmosphere. In a dining room, the structured vertical rhythm and rich dark backdrop lend a sense of occasion, particularly across wider uninterrupted walls where the full symmetrical repeat can unfold naturally.

In a bedroom, we would place this wallpaper behind the bedhead to anchor the room as a statement feature wall, or wrap an entire study or living room to lean into its warm, moody heritage character. Because the foliage and ribbon motifs feature fine linear details, they show their nuance best on walls that are not overly obscured by tall, solid furniture. In a hallway or entryway, the vertical stripes and upward movement of the botanical stems draw the eye upwards, adding visual height and interest to transitional spaces.

Styling it

To complement the heritage feel of the pattern, we suggest pairing it with warm, natural wood finishes such as mid-tone oak, walnut, or antique mahogany. The warmth in the timber balances the deep midnight base and highlights the organic curves of the foliage.

For surrounding furnishings and textiles, consider soft velvet upholstery or matte woven fabrics in muted petrol, slate blue, or moss green to pick up the colours in the motif. Keeping large furniture pieces relatively simple in silhouette prevents the room from feeling cluttered, letting the decorative damask remain the central focus. Subdued brass or antique bronze hardware and lighting fixtures also pair naturally with the rich palette, catching the light without competing with the wallpaper's fine line work.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is grounded in a deep charcoal black and midnight tone, accented by sage, olive, and forest greens in the leaves, along with soft periwinkle and petrol blue in the ribbons and central flowers.

When painting adjacent walls, woodwork, or ceiling cornices, we suggest working with:

• Deep slate or midnight hues that extend the dramatic depth of the background across skirting boards and door frames for a cohesive, wrapped look.
• Soft chalky whites or muted stone tones on neighbouring walls to provide a clean, gentle contrast that lets the dark pattern stand out crisply.
• Earthy sage or muted olive paint finishes that echo the leaf tones and bring an organic, calming balance to the surrounding interior.
