In ‘Dark Floral II Black Saturated’, a giant (47 cm/18.5”) dahlia is surrounded by smaller roses, peonies, tulips and hydrangeas. A reclusive beetle and lone butterfly inhabit the shadows. All are perched above a matte black background. This wallpaper is emotional, evocative, and exceedingly dramatic. The high contrast between dark and light gives it a three-dimensional appearance. It can be used around the full circumference (and on the ceilings) of powder rooms, on a ceiling in your bedroom … or it can be used on an accent wall in an intimate, romantic dining room, in shop and bridal dressing rooms, and more - all to a dramatic and moving effect.

Dark Floral II Black Saturated’s flowers range in color from white and off-white in the highlight areas, beige, pink and light yellows in the mid-tones, to deep greens and reds which, together with the moss/olive green foliage, fade into the shadows and, eventually, the black background. This creates a moody, dreamy, three-dimensional effect.

We’ve seen this design used beautifully in powder rooms with a metal-framed mirror, dining rooms with pretty white built-ins, bedrooms with a brass bed (this version was photographed by William and Susan Brinson of House of Brinson and featured on Design Sponge in Spring 2015), dressing rooms (the Black Desaturated version was used at Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Chicago pop-up shop in Spring 2015), and more.

We always like to give our florals toughness by pairing them with ‘hard’ materials: matte-shiny metals like brass, copper and gold, an iron side table or plant stand, stone tiles, concrete floors or exposed brick, for example.

What distinguishes Ellie’s floral wallpapers from your (great great) grandmother’s - aside from how easy they are to work with - is the larger-than-life-scale of the flowers, and Ellie’s belief that walls can do more than just delineate spaces and hold up ceilings … walls can be art! Walls can have meanings; walls can have (and create) moods.

This is truer than ever in the ‘Dark Floral II’ series. This print can also be enlarged to twice its size, for an intensely dramatic effect. Please see Dark Floral II Black Saturated XL here.

Use this floral wallpaper to make a statement art piece of an accent wall or a little garden jewel box of a powder room. This large-scale botanical print is something out of a fairy-tale, fantasy world. The effect is darkly enchanting.
