Wallpaper - Perennial Intesity

Created by Shirley Novak, our Perennial Intensity wallpaper captures two bold blooms rendered with expressive, painterly energy. Carmine red, vibrant orange, and sunny yellow tones sweep across each petal with swirling brush marks, while deep purple centres anchor the floral forms. Across the light cream background, fine rhythmic swirls and playful paint splashes add visual texture and artistic motion. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design brings a confident, uplifting presence to any interior wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an expressive focal wall in a living room, dining space, or a creative home studio. The large scale of the painted blooms and the intense red and orange palette naturally draw the eye, making it ideal for a wider, uninterrupted wall area where the entire composition has space to breathe. Placing our wallpaper behind a sofa, along a dining wall, or facing the main entrance allows the fluid shapes to set a warm, energetic tone across the whole room without needing pattern on every surface.

Styling it

Because the floral motif carries substantial visual drama and bold pigment, we recommend balancing it with clean, contemporary furniture silhouettes. Simple forms in warm wood tones, such as natural oak or warm walnut, complement the golden undertones in the petals while grounding the space. Upholstered pieces in neutral woven textiles or soft off-white fabrics allow the wallpaper to remain the clear hero of the room. A few intentional decorative accents in deep plum, matte black, or brushed bronze can subtly echo the dark floral centres and anchor the surrounding decor.

Colour combinations

The palette within the mural wallpaper centres on rich carmine red, warm orange, golden yellow, and deep purple set against a warm cream base. For adjacent walls, woodwork, and large textiles, soft cream, warm linen, or pale stone shades provide a gentle backdrop that lets the red tones pop. If you want a more dramatic, eclectic room scheme, pairing the design with deep aubergine, rich burgundy, or warm mustard accents creates an enveloping and cohesive palette inspired directly by the artwork.
