Grand, dark, and entirely sincere about it. Requiem is a gothic peony wallpaper that sets lush blooms in burgundy and rust under deep inky shading on a dark ground, a vintage floral composed like a final movement: full blooms, heavy shadow, and the sort of romance that doesn't need to smile to convince you.

The design

Lush vintage peonies rendered in deep, inky shading over a dark ground. Full-bodied blooms with somber, romantic depth. The dark ground absorbs the edges of each bloom, so the blooms appear to surface slowly rather than sit on top. From a distance the wall reads nearly solid until your eyes adjust and the composition emerges, bloom by bloom. Daylight keeps it stately, and the dimmer the hour, the better the performance.

Works best in

Bedrooms, dining rooms, entryways, home offices, powder rooms, music rooms, and romantics of the old school.

Style notes

Late Romantic drama, fully scored. Mahogany, deep velvet, aged gold, and candlelight all keep up with it without breaking stride. Dining rooms gain a sense of occasion, bedrooms gain intrigue, and a music room finally gets a wall that takes the repertoire seriously. Not a pattern for people who apologize for their taste.

Order with confidence

Requiem is an original pattern from WALLPLICITY, made seamless so the peonies surface across every panel in one unbroken movement. Choose peel and stick or traditional wallpaper. Samples available, and a dark floral deserves an audition in your own low light.
