Dark ground, impossible bloom, light from nowhere. That was the Dutch still life formula, and Dutch Nocturne inherits the trick. This dark floral wallpaper opens oversized peonies in coral, ivory and midnight blue against deep black, opulent and slightly haunted in the most flattering way.

The design

Oversized peonies and garden blooms in coral, ivory and midnight blue on deep black, Dutch still life drama for a whole wall. The ivory blooms catch the eye first, then the coral, with the midnight blue holding the middle distance before the black closes in. From across the room it reads as a lit painting, and up close the petals hold their own. It gives the wall the lit-from-one-side depth of an old still life, and evening only improves the effect.

Works best in

Dining rooms, powder rooms, bedroom accent walls, entry halls, home offices and anyone who lingers in museum gift shops.

Style notes

Golden-age still life, moved from the frame to the wall. It belongs with dark oak, old silver, marble with real movement and ivory linen to keep the gloom luxurious rather than heavy. A dining room makes every meal slightly ceremonial, and a bedroom accent wall turns waking up into entering a painting. The museum wishes it could send this one home.

Order with confidence

The repeat in Dutch Nocturne is engineered to be seamless, so the bouquet keeps its composition from one panel to the next, and the design is ours alone. Available as peel and stick or traditional wallpaper. Samples available.
