Wallpaper - Once a Summer Night

Our Once a Summer Night wallpaper presents a lush still-life composition of soft-focus blooms, created by Ludmila Shumilova. Layered roses, orchids, and peonies emerge from a deep, shadowy background in vibrant tones of white, soft pink, rich orange, and luminous yellow. The photographic depth and painterly softness give the flowers a dreamy, three-dimensional presence across the wall. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a bedroom, we like positioning this design behind the bedhead, where the dark backdrop anchors the sleeping area and the soft floral forms create an enveloping, romantic atmosphere. In a living room, it works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full scale of the composition can unfold without being heavily obscured by tall storage units.

Because the design relies on high tonal contrast between the luminous petals and the deep background, it sits comfortably in both bright and dimmer spaces. In rooms with abundant natural daylight, the subtle transitions across the orange and pink petals come forward clearly, while warmer evening lamp lighting deepens the darker tones and gives the floral arrangement a richer, more mysterious character.

Styling it

The classical, Baroque-inspired mood of this floral design pairs naturally with traditional architectural details such as decorative mouldings, high skirting boards, or panelled doors. We recommend balancing the visual richness of the wallpaper with relatively understated furniture silhouettes. Darker painted finishes or rich timber pieces work well, grounding the room without competing with the detailed botanical layers. For surrounding textiles, heavy woven fabrics like velvet or textured wool in solid colours help echo the depth of the motif while keeping the overall space refined.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dark, near-black backdrop accented by glowing shades of warm orange, bright yellow, dusty pink, and cream. When painting adjacent walls, woodwork, or cornicing, we suggest pulling directly from these undertones. A deep charcoal or muted near-black creates a seamless, dramatic transition around the room. If you prefer a lighter contrast, a warm off-white or an earthy blush pink lifted from the orchids and roses softens the atmosphere while letting the central blooms remain the primary focus.
