Wallpaper - Pumpkin Poppies I

In this wallpaper, created by Shirley Novak, expressive poppies fan upwards across a textured, pale cream backdrop. Rendered with an oil-painted look, the design brings together rich shades of orange, warm ochre, muted sage green, and soft grey-brown flower heads dancing atop slender, dark stems. Dark poppy seed pods float lightly throughout the composition, giving the floral arrangement a lively, whimsical rhythm. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs cleanly on the wall.

In the room

We see this floral mural wallpaper working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full upward spread of the stems can stretch freely. In a living room behind a low sofa or along an entry hallway, the generous open space around the top of the flowers keeps the wall feeling airy rather than overcrowded.

Because the main weight of the motif gathers through the lower center and branches out towards the upper corners, keeping tall furniture away from the middle of the wall allows the organic movement of the bouquet to remain visible. In a bedroom, placing this design behind a low headboard creates a cheerful, artistic focal point that frames the sleeping area without overwhelming quieter moments.

Styling it

The artistic character and warm tones of this design make it easy to pair with both relaxed contemporary pieces and vintage-inspired furnishings.

We would keep larger furniture relatively understated in form to let the expressive floral strokes lead the room. Low-profile seating in warm linen or natural woven upholstery complements the painterly texture of the background. Surrounding the wall with warm wood finishes, such as mid-tone oak or teak, picks up on the golden undertones in the petals without competing with the stronger orange accents.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by pumpkin orange, rich ochre yellow, muted sage, and warm grey, set against a soft, creamy base with dark charcoal stems.

For surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend staying close to warm neutral tones. Soft ivory, pale buttermilk, or a gentle biscuit beige keep the overall atmosphere light and cohesive. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents through ceramics, cushions, or small accent furniture, picking up the dark olive green from the foliage or the deep charcoal of the seed pods creates a grounded, balanced feel across the space.
