Wallpaper - Samarkand Ferns, Sky Blue

In our Samarkand Ferns, Sky Blue wallpaper, soft powder blue vertical bands meet earthy botanical motifs framed in neat cream rectangles. Designed originally by French artist E. A. Séguy, the pattern balances stylised Art Nouveau leaves in rich brown and black against geometric panels bordered with delicate dot work. The combination of structured layout and organic form creates a calm, decorative rhythm with the visual character of a classic woven textile. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it simple to hang across any wall.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a living room or a dedicated home library, where the balanced geometric panels can bring structure to the entire space. Because the motif is arranged in vertical rectangular columns, it has a natural height that helps draw the eye upwards, whether you choose to wallpaper a single feature wall behind a sofa or wrap multiple continuous walls. The interplay between the gentle powder blue ground and the deeper earthy tones gives the room visual depth without feeling heavy, allowing the repeat to feel grounded and composed across wider wall expanses.

Styling it

To complement the heritage feel and textile-inspired character of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, classic silhouettes. Darker wood tones such as walnut or aged oak sit naturally alongside the warm brown and black botanical detailing, grounding the lighter background. For upholstery and larger textiles, look towards simple woven textures in oatmeal, muted cream, or soft charcoal rather than competing busy prints, letting the decorative rhythm of the wallpaper carry the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper pairs a cool, soothing powder blue background with warm cream panels and deep earthy brown and black accents. To create a cohesive palette throughout the room, consider matching adjacent painted walls and woodwork to the soft cream or an off-white that mirrors the inner rectangular panels. If you want a more cocooning feel in a reading corner or study, pulling the deep chocolate brown or charcoal black from the fern shapes onto skirting boards, shelving, or accent furniture will create a sophisticated tonal balance against the blue.
