Wallpaper - Lily Light Square

In our Lily Light Square design by Deborah Revell, a single white lily emerges softly from a deep black backdrop. What we particularly like about this photographic piece is the luminous quality of the petals, radiating a gentle warm yellow glow from the centre, balanced by slender green filaments and delicate orange-brown anthers. The high contrast gives the floral motif a quiet, sculptural presence on the wall. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper brings a clean, graphic elegance to modern residential interiors.

In the room

Because of the bold contrast and large floral focus, we like using this design where the composition has space to be appreciated in its entirety. In a living room, it works naturally behind a low sofa or along an accent wall, where the dark background anchors the seating area without visual clutter. In a bedroom, placing this wallpaper behind the headboard creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere, especially in rooms that benefit from soft, warm evening light. We also see this working exceptionally well in a home library or reading room, where the deep tones and calm floral subject lend a thoughtful, quiet mood to the space.

Styling it

To complement the dramatic chiaroscuro of this motif, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean in profile. Low-slung contemporary pieces or mid-century silhouettes let the sculptural form of the flower take the lead. Darker stained timber, such as smoked oak or walnut, echoes the depth of the black backdrop, while painted furniture in off-white or soft alabaster picks up on the curved petals.

For textiles, simple weaves and smooth, unpatterned fabrics work best to avoid competing with the photographic detail. A warm floor lamp angled towards adjacent seating will highlight the glowing yellow core of the bloom, bringing out the design's understated warmth.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep black and luminous alabaster white, accented by glowing yellow, soft green, and delicate orange-brown details.

When choosing adjacent wall colours, we recommend warm off-whites, muted bone, or soft parchment tones to mirror the lily's petals and maintain a bright, balanced contrast. If you prefer a richer, more continuous room scheme, charcoal or near-black paint on surrounding walls and trim allows the lit flower to glow prominently as the focal point. Subtle olive greens or warm ochre accents in cushions or ceramics also tie naturally into the flower's delicate inner tones.
