Wallpaper - Summer Birch

Our Summer Birch wallpaper, created by artist James Wiens, brings an atmospheric woodland scenery into the interior with an oil painting aesthetic. The composition captures a stand of slender birch trees rising from a soft, muted ground into a lush canopy of green foliage. Thick, painterly brushwork defines the white and pale grey bark, accented by subtle dark markings and warm undertones, while the canopy layers fern greens, mossy tones, and hints of ochre. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang and easy to live with.

In the room

In a living room or dedicated meditation space, the upright rhythm of the tree trunks naturally draws the eye upward, giving walls an open and airy feeling. We think this motif works particularly well on an uninterrupted main wall where the depth of the painted forest background can unfold without distraction. Because the visual ground of the motif is soft and low in contrast, lower furniture such as a sofa, low sideboard, or daybed can sit in front of it without cutting off the most intricate parts of the tree canopy. In rooms with gentle natural light, the subtle shifts between the earthy greens and the muted undertones of the forest floor become especially rewarding to look at throughout the day.

Styling it

To complement the painterly, artistic character of this design, we suggest leaning into calm, grounded interior elements that mirror the natural tones of the forest.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, natural timber furniture such as lightly oiled oak or muted ash, which harmonises with the earthy background tones of the woodland floor.
• Introduce unbleached, woven textiles in beige, sand, or off-white to balance the dense brushwork of the leafy green canopy.
• Keep decorative accents understated and organic, using matte ceramics or stoneware in neutral shades to preserve the quiet, tranquil atmosphere of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around a palette of natural fern greens, olive tones, soft white bark, and warm earthy taupe across the lower background. On adjacent painted walls, soft neutral shades such as warm chalk, off-white, or a pale stone grey will keep the room light and allow the greens of the canopy to take centre stage. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out a muted olive or soft moss green for surrounding walls, woodwork, or architectural trim creates a seamless, grounded connection to the foliage in the design.
