The Product: Neva floral folk art wallpaper in blue
Introduce uplifting, Spring colour into your home year round, with this bluebell-hued, folk art wallpaper. Russian-born surface pattern designer, Olga Shevchenko, created the beautifully-figured arrangement of flowers and leaves, for her homewares brand Olenka Design.
The Lowdown
Khokhloma handicraft, the inspiration for this pattern, is the Russian, folk art tradition of hand-painting turned, wooden pots. The style originated from villages along the Volga river in the late 17th century, when Russian icon painters, miniature artists and wood-turners combined their skills. The designs highlight the importance of nature and the forest in Russian history and culture through the ages. Today, ‘golden-hued’ Khokhloma woodenware is recognised as a vibrant, national, craft phenomenon. Olga used Khokhloma painting techniques she learnt at school to create this wallpaper design. Her intricate botanical designs, often featuring wildflowers, berries and leaves, feel fresh and modern in a contemporary palette.
Folk Art Wallpaper – Styling Ideas?
First, bold, large-scale florals work brilliantly with stripes. We can see this design on a wide, feature wall with a narrow, navy pinstripe on adjacent walls. In addition, the sleek lines of directional, modern furniture in white or wood would also look great with this wallpaper as the backdrop. Moreover, scrolling botanicals, such as these, are perfect for smaller spaces. Take it up and over the ceiling for maximum impact!
