Wallpaper - Southern Tones I

Our Southern Tones I wallpaper, created with artist Lisa Audit, brings together an arrangement of six decorative ceramic-style vases rendered in rich brick red, warm orange, and gold tones. Each vessel carries its own distinct character, decorated with fine floral and geometric motifs that give the still life an artisanal, painted appearance. Leafy green branches and delicate white blossoms rise from several vases, introducing a crisp organic contrast against the warm palette. Set against a soft beige background with layered, subtle floral tracery, the composition feels balanced, calm, and grounded. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a dining room, we would place this design along the main wall alongside the dining table, where the horizontal rhythm of the vases can ground the room and create an inviting backdrop for shared meals. The earthy palette also makes it a natural fit for a living room feature wall behind a low-profile sofa, allowing the decorative vessels and foliage to sit comfortably above the seating line. In an entryway or hallway, where walls are often viewed at closer range, the detailed surface patterns on each vase and the soft background texture offer plenty of visual interest without overwhelming a narrower space.

Styling it

Because Southern Tones I has a rich, illustrative quality, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, classic silhouettes so the wall mural remains the focal point.

• Combine the wallpaper with warm timber furniture such as walnut, antique pine, or warm oak to complement the earthy terracotta, brick red, and ochre shades in the artwork.
• Choose surrounding upholstery and drapery in simple, woven neutral fabrics like natural linen, oatmeal cotton, or soft wool to echo the calm beige background.
• Introduce understated accent details in antique brass or unlacquered bronze, which resonate naturally with the golden and warm red details in the pottery.

Colour combinations

The design is built around an earthy base of brick red, warm orange, terracotta, and soft gold, balanced by the leafy greens of the foliage and an understated beige background. For adjacent painted walls, skirting, or architraves, we recommend soft warm whites, muted plaster tones, or sandy neutrals that allow the mural to blend quietly into the wider room. If you want a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or dining area, a deep terracotta or a heritage olive green drawn directly from the leaves can frame the wallpaper beautifully.
