Wallpaper - Swedish Folk Art

A bold blue Dala horse with clean white decorative detailing anchors the centre of our Swedish Folk Art wallpaper, framed by a playful scatter of sunny yellow blossoms with soft blue centres. Created by Omar Escalante, this graphic design draws inspiration from traditional Scandinavian folk motifs, translating them into crisp, screenprint-inspired shapes set against an airy, bright white background. The clean contrast gives the whole composition a cheerful visual rhythm that feels both timeless and distinctly modern. Produced as custom made-to-measure wall murals, our wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love this design on a main feature wall where the central horse motif and surrounding floral pattern can take centre stage without being heavily broken up by tall furniture. It works wonderfully in a child’s bedroom, nursery, or playroom, where the energetic yellow and blue palette brings warmth and storybook charm to the space. In a family dining room or kitchen dining nook, it acts as an inviting, artistic focal point that instantly enlivens clean white or light-toned walls. Because the background is crisp white and the pattern has plenty of open space, it holds its own beautifully in bright natural daylight while still feeling rich and warm under soft evening lamps.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork sing, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined Scandinavian furniture in light wood tones such as ash or birch, or simple painted white pieces.

• Keep surrounding larger furniture relatively minimal so the folk shapes and vibrant motifs remain the main decorative focus.
• Bring in textured textiles like woven cotton throws, yellow cushions, or a neutral woven rug to add tactile comfort without competing with the bold print.
• Accent the room with subtle ceramic accessories or simple artwork in matching cobalt blues and buttercup yellows to tie the interior together naturally.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on rich mid-blue, vibrant sunflower yellow, and crisp white. When choosing surrounding paint colours, soft off-whites, warm chalky creams, or pale linen tones on adjacent walls will keep the room bright and balanced. For a bolder, cohesive look, deep navy or cornflower blue on doors, skirting boards, or painted shelving creates a striking echo of the horse motif, while muted golden ochre accents add an extra layer of warmth.
