Wallpaper - Hoh Rainforest

Captured by photographer John Shaw, our Hoh Rainforest wallpaper brings the dense, ancient atmosphere of the temperate woodland into an interior. The panoramic composition centres on massive, moss-cloaked tree trunks rising from a vibrant carpet of lush green ferns, with layered foliage receding into the background. Rich forest greens, fern tones, weathered wood bark, and earthy moss create a deeply organic palette with remarkable depth and clarity. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this mural wallpaper is straightforward to hang and transforms any wall into an expansive woodland vista.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal breadth and monumental scale of the ancient trees, we see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated meditation space, placing the mural behind a low sofa or seating area allows the massive vertical trunks and dense fern undergrowth to anchor the room naturally. The composition has enough visual depth that it opens up the room, creating an atmospheric connection to nature without overwhelming the perimeter. Spaces with good natural daylight reveal the subtle variations across the mossy bark and the lighter tips of the ferns, while warm evening lighting highlights the earthy bark tones and gives the room an enveloping, grounded feel.

Styling it

To balance the intricate natural detail of the forest undergrowth, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively quiet and uncluttered.

Low-profile contemporary furniture with clean lines allows the photography to remain the central focus of the room. Warm, unvarnished natural timber pieces, such as light oak or ash, echo the organic bark textures in the image without competing with them. For upholstery and textiles, smooth woven fabrics in understated natural finishes provide a calm visual contrast to the dense foliage. Keeping large rugs plain or subtly textured in muted oat or pebble tones ensures the floor flows gently into the fern canopy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep palette of vivid fern green, mossy olive, muted forest tones, and the weathered greys and warm browns of aged tree bark.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and large furnishings, we recommend working with soft, warm neutrals or muted earthy tones:

• Off-white, warm bone, or pale stone on adjoining walls will keep the room bright and let the deep greenery stand out with clean contrast.
• Subdued moss or sage greens on adjacent walls or painted cabinetry create an immersive, continuous colour story throughout the space.
• Warm greys, taupe, or deep bark browns on skirting boards and window frames draw out the dark bark details and frame the mural with intention.
