Wallpaper - Before the Spring II

Our Before the Spring II wallpaper by Silvia Vassileva brings an expressive, horizon-like landscape composition into the home through abstract oil paint brushwork. The lower section anchors the wall with bold strokes of sunflower yellow, ochre, and warm orange, balanced by deep brown and black markings that give the piece its visual weight. Above, the composition opens into quieter, atmospheric sweeps of cool grey, beige, and soft white reminiscent of an open sky. We produce our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to bring large-scale art into your space.

In the room

Because of the clear horizontal division between the rich earthy foreground and the airy upper tones, this design works exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room, study, or meditation space. On a wider, uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or low sideboard, the full width of the painterly strokes can unfold without interruption.

In rooms with changing natural light, the interplay between warm sunflower yellow and cool grey tones shifts pleasantly throughout the day. Generous daylight brings out the finer layers in the cloudy grey passage, while warmer artificial light in the evening enriches the deep amber and brown undertones below. If you have a room with standard ceiling heights, the lighter upper half keeps the wall feeling open and uncluttered.

Styling it

The expressive, painterly nature of this design pairs naturally with contemporary and organic modern interiors where materials are kept grounded and uncomplicated:

• Choose low-profile furniture in dark wood or charcoal finishes to echo the deep, grounding brushstrokes in the lower half of the design.
• Keep large upholstery in neutral, textured fabrics such as off-white, light oatmeal, or pale grey so the wallpaper remains the visual focus of the room.
• Introduce understated warm accents, like matte ceramic pieces or brushed brass lighting, to tie in with the sunflower yellow tones without competing with the abstract artwork.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on rich sunflower yellow, orange, and earthy browns, contrasted against cool greys, beige, soft white, and dark charcoal accents.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or adjacent spaces, soft warm greys or muted stone colours echo the upper portion of the mural wallpapers beautifully. If you prefer a richer setting in a study or reading corner, a deep espresso brown or soft charcoal on adjoining trim can frame the wallpaper while creating a grounded, enveloping atmosphere.
