Wallpaper - Summer Cottage IV

Created by artist Katrina Pete, our Summer Cottage IV wallpaper pairs a classic purple gingham backdrop with a charming garden still life. A vintage watering can filled with yellow, orange, and purple blooms takes centre stage, accented by delicate sage green foliage and a bright butterfly in flight. The motif captures a soft watercolour-like appearance that brings a relaxed country feel to interior spaces. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are easy to hang and add distinct character to any room.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces where you want to introduce a touch of cottage charm. In a kitchen, pantry, or dining area, the combination of geometric gingham and garden florals adds warmth without overpowering the wall. The gentle watercolour styling also makes it a lovely choice for a guest room, bedroom, or powder room. For a summer house or countryside cabin, using this design on an accent wall behind a breakfast table or bed frame creates an inviting, characterful focal point.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, heritage feel of the pattern, we suggest pairing it with simple, natural elements that let the artwork stand out:

• Combine the wallpaper with painted cabinetry or warm timber furniture in soft cream, off-white, or muted sage to echo the tones in the leaves.
• Bring in simple linen or woven cotton textiles for curtains and cushions to enhance the relaxed cottage aesthetic.
• Use understated ceramic tableware and subtle brass or antique iron hardware to reinforce the traditional farmhouse character.

Colour combinations

The design features a balanced palette of pastel purple and periwinkle in the gingham ground, alongside warm yellows, soft oranges, and leafy sage greens in the floral bouquet. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm whites, soft buttermilk, or pale sage create a seamless backdrop. If you prefer a richer contrast, picking up the deeper tones from the petals with a dusty lavender or muted ochre on surrounding trim can tie the whole scheme together.
