Wallpaper - My Favorite Chair

Our My Favorite Chair wallpaper, created with artist Carol Rowan, brings a quiet painterly scene into the home. At the centre of the composition sits a deep blue watering can resting on a weathered wooden chair with faded white and sage green paintwork. The background dissolves into soft, impressionistic brushstrokes of warm yellow, beige, and muted grey, giving the impression of an oil painting on a wall. As one of our made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpapers, the design carries a gentle rustic warmth that works especially well as an artistic feature in relaxed living spaces, country kitchens, and quiet corners.

In the room

Because the composition functions like a large-scale painting with a clear focal point, we see this design working best on an accent wall where the motif has breathing room. In a dining room or country kitchen, placing our wallpaper behind a dining table or near an open shelving area creates a warm, welcoming presence. It also feels right at home in a garden room, summer house, or mudroom, where the botanical gardening theme connects naturally with the outdoor surroundings.

For living rooms and home art studios, we suggest keeping the wall relatively clear of tall cupboards or towering shelving units. Lower furniture, such as a sideboard, low bench, or reading chair, allows the central watering can and the delicate brushwork of the background to remain fully visible across the room.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer drawing on its painterly, heritage character while keeping the room feeling light and lived-in.

• Pair the scene with natural, unpainted timber or vintage wooden furniture to complement the rustic texture of the painted chair.
• Introduce soft linen textiles in cream, unbleached oat, or muted olive to mirror the relaxed, tactile feel of the impressionistic brushwork.
• Balance the visual weight by using simple ceramic tableware or aged terracotta pots nearby, reinforcing the quiet charm of the motif without competing with it.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design balances deep slate blue with weathered pale green, warm beige, soft ochre, and gentle grey.

To create a cohesive room scheme, we recommend surrounding the wall mural with soft chalky neutrals such as buttermilk, warm linen, or parchment white on neighbouring walls. If you prefer deeper contrast, echoing the watering can with a navy or dusty indigo on painted trim or cabinetry grounds the room nicely. For a softer, nature-led palette, muted moss and sage greens pick up the subtle green tones in the chair frame beautifully.
