Our Gemma print, designed in collaboration with French artist Claire de Quénetain, is floral, feminine, and artful. “Gemma is a painterly ode to nature—soft, expressive, and full of layered charm,” says Krystal Reinhard, the founder of Old Soul Design Studio. “As a designer with a fine art background, I’m drawn to the way this pattern balances delicate detail with fluid movement. It feels less like wallpaper or fabric, and more like a hand-painted mural that quietly transforms a room.”
Gemma, like all of our designs, can be used in a multitude of applications all throughout the home. Here, designers share four of their top picks for how to weave the paper into any kind of space.
Use Gemma on the Ceiling
Why solely paper your walls when you can also address the ceiling? The fifth wall deserves a little love, too.
“I’m all about a ceiling moment, and this print feels like the perfect way to bring a soft, garden-inspired dreamscape to life. I could totally see it in a little girl’s room or nursery to add that unexpected touch of magic. I’d finish the look with oversized crown molding painted in a coordinating color pulled from the print—it would be such a charming detail.” — Rebecca Merritt, founder of Merritt Design Co.
Frame Panels in the Dining Room
Gemma looks gorgeous in large and small doses alike. If you’re looking to integrate the print into your space without going all in, Merritt offers a clever tip.
“Oversized panels of this pattern would create an immersive, romantic vibe—like you’re sitting down for afternoon tea in a lovely spring garden. It’s a fresh twist on traditional wallpaper and adds just the right amount of whimsy.” — Rebecca Merritt
Color Drench a Space
If you’re looking to really make a splash, color drench a room using Gemma and its related tones.
“Pull out a few of the gorgeous green tones from the Gemma and ‘apply to all!’ Paint the walls and trim, or even incorporate a stunning green trellis wall—it would pair beautifully with Gemma curtains or a few Gemma pillows. Layer in a green rug and upholstered pieces using some of Pepper’s other coordinating fabrics, like Willow Mint, Sage solid cotton, or Fern solid velvet. To round out the room, mix in a few dark wood tones and some light wicker for added warmth and texture.” — Mimi Meacham, founder of Marian Louise Design
Paper Your Bookcases
Covering the walls is great, but if you’re looking for an unexpected approach, why not paper the backs of your bookcases to make a fun statement?
“The Gemma Pear wallpaper would be perfect for adding a pop of color to the back of bookcases. I would pair this with creamy painted cabinetry and use the blues, greens, and pinks in the paper to drive the palette for the rest of the space. Upholstery and window treatments would be a perfect opportunity to bring in a larger punch of color in one of these tones. A soft green velvet sofa paired with neutral chairs, and patterned window treatments would provide balance.” — Elle Cantrell, founder of Elle Du Monde
