Wallpaper - Feeling Blue I

Our Feeling Blue I wallpaper, designed by Cheryl Warrick, pairs floating floral forms with painterly brushwork set against a crisp white ground. Varied blue blooms, some defined with delicate petals and others rendered in looser, abstract strokes, are arranged alongside deep blue elongated leaves and dotted accents. The fluid, watercolour-inspired look gives the motif a rhythmic, balanced presence on the wall, balancing open negative space with expressive painted details. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic botanical perspective to any interior.

In the room

Because the motif relies on an open composition with generous white space between the botanical elements, we see this working well across several walls without overwhelming the room. In a bedroom, it provides a quiet, restful backdrop behind a bed, where the varying blues catch natural daylight in the morning. In a living room or dining room, the rhythm of the floating flowers helps tie together larger seating or dining areas while maintaining an airy visual feel.

The design also suits more compact spaces such as a powder room, dressing room, or a home office. On smaller walls, the distinct floral clusters and round dotted details remain clearly legible, giving the space an intentional gallery feel.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding interior relatively clean and tactile to complement the fluid, painted nature of the design:

• Pair with warm, pale woods such as natural ash or bleached birch to maintain the bright, airy quality of the white ground.
• Introduce soft textile accents in navy, washed denim, or indigo to pick up the deeper painted blues in the leaves and petals.
• Choose simple ceramic or matte earthenware accessories that echo the handcrafted, artisan quality of the watercolour motifs without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a range of blue tones, from soft sky and watery cerulean washes to deep navy, all resting on a clean white backdrop. When painting surrounding woodwork, skirting, or adjoining walls, we suggest working with soft chalky whites or pale muted blues to extend the airy atmosphere. For a more grounded scheme, deeper midnight blue or slate on cabinetry, doors, or architraves will echo the darkest botanical accents in the pattern.
