Wallpaper - Maybe not Eat

Featuring botanical illustrations from Wild Apple Portfolio, our Maybe not Eat wallpaper design captures the delicate detail of nineteenth-century natural history prints. The composition highlights distinct Amanita mushroom specimens across their growth stages, rendered with fine etched line work and rich carmine red, warm ochre, and earthy tones against a gentle off-white ground. Classic French botanical inscriptions and plate markings frame the bottom and top of the study, giving the motif an authentic archival character. Produced to measure and completely PVC-free, this design brings thoughtful natural history art directly to your walls.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in dedicated quiet spaces like a home library, study, or private art studio. Because the artwork is arranged horizontally as an expansive botanical plate, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the full grouping of mushroom specimens and vintage typography can be viewed without heavy visual interruption. Placing the motif on a feature wall behind a writing desk or reading armchair allows the detailed linework to be appreciated up close while grounding the room with warm, earthy colour.

Styling it

The distinct archival quality of this design pairs naturally with classic English country and heritage-inspired interiors. We would lean into timeless, grounded furnishings such as warm mid-tone timber shelving, traditional joinery, and antique brass or patinated metal task lighting that complements the botanical aesthetic. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively quiet and purposeful ensures the illustrated specimens remain the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by the rich carmine red and orange-red caps of the mushrooms, supported by warm ochre stems and an aged cream background. For surrounding painted walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we suggest pulling out the earthy undertones with muted mushroom grey, warm off-white, or deep olive tones. These shades echo the natural tones within the print without competing with the vibrant carmine focal points.
