Wallpaper - Foliage of Dashwood

Designed by Julia Dreams, Foliage of Dashwood brings an organic rhythm to the wall through delicate botanical silhouettes set against a deep navy backdrop. The block-print-inspired leaves, rendered in a pale off-white tone, float with a natural upward movement that feels both structured and lively. We particularly like how the two-tone palette simplifies the botanical theme, giving our wallpaper a graphic clarity that works effortlessly across contemporary and heritage interiors alike. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, this design features a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the clean contrast.

In the room

The repeating leaf sprigs create an enveloping, tranquil atmosphere that we love in spaces dedicated to rest. In a bedroom, installing Foliage of Dashwood across the wall behind the headboard grounds the room while maintaining an airy, uncluttered feel. Because the pattern relies on a repeating balance of varied leaf sizes rather than a single massive focal point, it also works remarkably well across multiple walls in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. In rooms with plenty of daylight, the contrast between the crisp cream silhouettes and deep blue ground remains clear and graphic, while under softer warm lighting in the evening, the navy tone deepens into an intimate, cocooning backdrop.

Styling it

The balanced simplicity of this pattern pairs naturally with interiors that celebrate clean forms and honest materials. We suggest combining the design with warm wood tones, such as mid-century walnut or natural oak, which balance the coolness of the deep blue background without competing with the botanical shapes.

For textiles, neutral linen or woven wool in unbleached ecru and soft oat echoes the pale leaves, allowing the wallpaper to remain the primary visual texture in the room. Keeping surrounding upholstery relatively quiet and solid lets the rhythmic foliage create character without overwhelming the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our design centres on a deep navy blue and a soft, muted cream. When planning surrounding walls and trims, continuing with an off-white or light chalky cream helps the room feel coherent and open.

If you prefer a bolder, wraparound feel, matching woodwork or adjoining doors to a complementary dark navy creates a seamless, grounded interior. For subtle accent touches across ceramics, cushions, or small furniture pieces, muted terracotta, warm ochre, or soft sage sit comfortably alongside this classic blue and cream pairing.
