Wallpaper - Abstract Stems VI

Our Abstract Stems VI wallpaper, created in collaboration with Cheryl Warrick, pairs a bold botanical illustration with an architectural grid backdrop. The design showcases an expressive, fan-shaped flower head in rich coral-orange, grounded by sculpted green leaves and a curving central stem. Set against a dark charcoal-brown textured ground with subtle grid line work, the composition balances organic movement with geometric clarity. Printed to your exact dimensions, our custom mural wallpapers are PVC-free and produced on paper with a subtle surface texture that gives the artwork a grounded, printmaker-style character.

In the room

We love how this design commands attention as a focal feature wall while maintaining an orderly rhythm through its background grid. In a living room or behind a dining table, the scale of the blossom creates an immediate visual anchor without feeling overly busy. The dark backdrop gives the wallpaper a cosy, grounded presence, which works especially well in spaces where you want a richer, more intimate atmosphere, such as a study or a snug. Because the central motif is bold and distinct, we recommend placing it on a relatively clear wall where the form of the flower and trailing leaves can be appreciated in full.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing the strong graphic elements with warm, natural materials. Mid-tone woods like walnut, teak, or warm oak complement the earthy charcoal background and allow the bright coral petals to stand out crisply. Keep the surrounding furniture shapes simple and uncluttered so they do not compete with the botanical silhouettes. For accents, simple matte ceramic vessels, textured upholstery in neutral weaves, or unlacquered brass hardware will pick up the warmth of the palette and echo the artisanal feel of the print.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a vivid contrast of coral-red and botanical greens against a deep charcoal-brown grid. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, you can either lean into the drama or soften the transition. A muted olive or sage on adjacent walls naturally extends the foliage tones, while a deep charcoal trim creates an immersive, enveloping feel. If you prefer a lighter, higher-contrast look, an off-white or soft warm linen tone keeps the room bright while letting the wall murals remain the central highlight of the space.
