Wallpaper - Abstract Water Lily, Olive

Created in collaboration with RNM Arts, our Abstract Water Lily, Olive wallpaper presents a bold, symmetrical botanical study with a hand-printed, block-print-inspired character. The motif features radiating leaf forms and stylized water lily contours rendered in muted olive green against a warm stone-beige background, detailed with subtle speckled textures and organic, weathered edges. The rhythmic, fan-like composition creates an eye-catching focal point while maintaining an earthy, balanced feel across the wall. Produced to your custom wall dimensions, our made-to-measure wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The large-scale symmetry and grounding olive tones make this design especially effective on a main feature wall where the full repeat can breathe. In a living room, we see this working beautifully positioned behind a low-profile sofa, allowing the upward movement of the botanical fan to draw the eye upward without feeling crowded.

Because the repeat is calm and rhythmic despite its graphic scale, it also sits naturally across dining spaces or in an entryway where a distinct first impression sets the tone for the rest of the home. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the contrast between the muted olive shapes and the warm stone ground softens, giving the space an organic, welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the graphic presence of the wallpaper lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furnishings relatively understated. Pieces in warm natural oak, ash, or mid-toned woods complement the earthy botanical mood while grounding the overall scheme.

When selecting upholstered furniture and soft furnishings, opt for smooth, unpatterned woven fabrics in oatmeal, taupe, or soft ecru rather than competing patterns. Understated accents in brushed brass, antique bronze, or matte black metal echo the crisp linework of the print and bring a polished, contemporary balance to the organic shapes.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by two distinct tones: a muted, earthy olive green and a soft, warm stone-beige base.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or trim, a warm off-white or soft linen shade will maintain a bright and cohesive connection to the background. For a deeper, more cocooning mood, surrounding trim or adjacent walls finished in a matching tone of olive or deep moss green will frame the mural wallpapers seamlessly and amplify the architectural presence of the room.
