Cottage Verbena is a softly layered floral wallpaper design by Chris Stone, reissued by the Australian Museum of Design. Featuring delicately hand-painted verbena clusters and leafy stems, the design is set against a stippled background of vintage blue-grey, creating a gentle interplay of movement, colour, and botanical charm.

Originally painted in the 1980s, this design captures Chris’s refined approach to surface pattern – balancing detail and repetition with a quiet, decorative rhythm. Soft greens, lilacs, and blush tones are carefully composed, giving the work an elegant, cottage-inspired mood with a distinctly hand-drawn warmth.

Printed on premium paper or durable vinyl, Cottage Verbena is ideal for bedrooms, sunrooms, reading nooks, or interiors seeking a touch of storybook romance. With its nostalgic palette and natural flow, it brings calm and character to both heritage and contemporary spaces.
