Wallpaper - Autumn Softies

Created by Lisa Audit, our Autumn Softies wallpaper presents expressive poppy blooms rendered with soft painterly washes and delicate metallic-toned outlines. Large-scale flower heads in shades of poppy red, warm amber, soft ochre, and muted violet-blue rise on slender green stems against a warm linen-toned background. What we particularly appreciate in this floral design is the balance between vibrant autumnal petals and airy negative space, which gives the floral pattern an open, artful presence rather than a crowded feel. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

In a dining room, we would give this design a prominent wall alongside your dining table, where the tall stems and expansive blossoms can be enjoyed at eye level. The artwork also works beautifully as a feature wall behind the bed in a master or guest bedroom, introducing warm colour without overwhelming the resting space. Because the poppy blooms are generously scaled, we recommend installing this wallpaper on a relatively open wall where the graceful curves of the petals and stems can unfold uninterrupted by tall, bulky storage units. In a spacious living room, it creates a cheerful, welcoming focal point that ties together both warm and cool decor elements.

Styling it

To complement the botanical character of the mural, we would bring in furniture with gentle, classic lines and natural finishes. Warm wooden pieces in honey pine, light oak, or fruitwood echo the amber and yellow notes in the petals, while painted off-white or soft sage furniture helps anchor the space.

For surrounding textiles, we suggest unpretentious natural textures such as washed linen cushions, wool throws, or simple cotton drapery in cream, sand, or muted mustard. Keeping the surrounding upholstery relatively plain allows the painterly poppies on the wall to remain the primary visual focus of the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features rich crimson red, warm orange, golden ochre, and soft slate blue on slender olive-green stems, all resting on an off-white background. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls and woodwork, warm ivory, soft parchment, or pale biscuit create a seamless, harmonious backdrop that lets the floral motif stand out naturally.

If you want a more defined palette, consider pulling the soft blue-violet or gentle olive tone into painted skirting boards, door frames, or adjacent accent walls. Deep terracotta or warm mustard can also be echoed in decorative cushions or ceramics to tie the whole interior together.
