Wallpaper - Old as Time

Our Old as Time wallpaper brings the wild atmosphere of an ancient, moss-draped temperate rainforest directly into your home. Captured through the atmospheric photography of Michael Marquand, this panoramic landscape design features towering evergreen boughs, twisted branches shrouded in hanging lichen, and a dense, earthy forest floor bathed in diffused canopy light. The composition draws the eye deep into the quiet woodland layers, defined by rich moss greens, muted forest tones, and soft natural contrast. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an authentic sense of nature to any interior.

In the room

We see this expansive landscape working particularly well across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full depth of the woodland panorama can unfold naturally. In a dedicated meditation room, quiet home study, or art studio, the layered greenery creates a tranquil and grounded environment. Because the photography has a rich, immersive scale with fine branching details and subtle light breaking through the tree canopy, giving it a main feature wall behind a low sofa or a desk keeps the visual horizon open. In rooms with gentle daylight or soft, indirect lamps, the varied shades of moss and woodland shadows take on a wonderfully moody presence without overpowering the room.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we like to keep surrounding elements simple, grounded, and organic to let the photographic depth remain the focal point. Low-profile furniture in natural materials pairs effortlessly with the woodland scene, allowing the branches and ground cover to be seen clearly.

• Choose warm, natural wood finishes such as oiled oak or walnut to echo the earthy, organic tones of the forest floor.
• Incorporate tactile textiles like washed linen, raw wool, or woven jute in neutral shades to balance the rich green visual textures of the wall.
• Keep wall decor and tall cabinetry minimal along the wallpapered surface so the panoramic depth of the trees remains unbroken.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by deep moss green, vibrant chartreuse highlights on the lichen, and cool spruce tones, balanced with shadowy bark brown and muted canopy mist. For adjacent painted walls, skirting, and woodwork, soft off-whites with a subtle warm undertone or muted stone greys provide a calm, clean frame. If you want to lean into a richer palette, deep olive, forest green, or earthy charcoal on nearby trim or upholstery will enhance the immersive woodland atmosphere.
