Color advice at Africa blossom: wall paint & styling

Color story/Africa - blossom

A world full of animals and yet a soft bedroom: Africa Blossom shows how beautifully the two go together. Amidst the animals and plants, warm pink and peach tones create a dreamy atmosphere. The wall paint doesn't have to take over that narrative. With a calm base and a small green accent, you actually give the scene room to breathe.

Your color palette

Soft together, beautifully balanced

These 3 paint shades form a beautiful palette with Africa - blossom. Choose one base and optionally an accent.

First, order a paint sample or color swatch of your favorite shade. View this at home next to a wallpaper sample, in daylight and with the lights on. This way, you can see which combination works best in your room.

The basis of the little room

Let the wallpaper be the beginning

This collage wallpaper tells more than just a pattern. You will discover animals and plants, while the soft colors connect the wall as a whole. Therefore, first choose which wall offers enough space for the image and consider where the bed, wardrobe, or dresser will be placed in front of it. Keep the adjacent wall simple. This way, the scene remains legible, even when the room is in use and there are toys on the floor. Let one or two shades from the wallpaper reappear in textiles. See also Africa - blossom wallpaper for the available versions.

From color swatch to wall

Which wall paint matches Africa - blossom?

LAB Mighty Marshmallow
no. 837

A soft, warm pink shade complements the dreamy character of the scene. It works well on an adjacent wall if you want to keep the room light and inviting. Choose solid fabrics so that the animals and plants remain the key details in the overall scheme.

LAB Lotus Lush
no. 309

This warmer pink shade adds a bit more depth to the palette. Use it on a carefully chosen area, for example in a reading nook. With cream bedding and natural wood furniture, the combination remains soft. Show the color next to the pink sections of the wallpaper first.

LAB Moss
no. 41

A muted green can connect the plants in the scene with the rest of the room. Opt for a small accent instead of immediately painting all the other walls green. This way, the warm blossom feeling remains present, while the pattern still gets a natural contrast.

Two nice directions

This is what your room can feel like

01A soft animal room

Choose Mighty Marshmallow as a calm wall paint and let the animal wall tell the story. Work with cream cotton, a wooden bed, and a simple rug. One green cushion is enough to connect it to the plants. Additional animal prints on large fabrics are not necessary for this atmosphere.

02A warm corner with greenery

Incorporate Lotus Lush on a modest painted wall and use Moss as a possible accent color for a small piece of furniture. Keep the larger pieces light and simple. Decide at home whether you want to use both paint shades; a touch of green textile can also sufficiently balance the palette.

The finishing touch

Furniture, fabrics & small details

Let the natural atmosphere be reflected primarily in the materials. A wooden stool, a woven basket, and soft cotton complement the scene well without turning it into a themed room. Keep the decor in front of the wallpapered wall low where possible, so that there is room to see the animals. Choose posters and other wall decorations for a quieter side wall rather than in the middle of the collage image.

Our tip for home

Look first, then choose

Before you start painting, check which part of the wallpaper will end up next to the wall to be painted. A test next to a green section might feel different than the same paint next to pink. Therefore, evaluate multiple sections together and take the future furniture placement into account. Also, check the layout of the collage image on the product page so that the chosen wall allows the scene to be displayed to its best advantage.

A small start for your dream room

Let the animal story be the starting point, and choose one soft wall paint to go with it that you like at home.
