Wallpaper - Watermark Birds

Our Watermark Birds wallpaper pairs intricate silhouettes of birds, foliage, and plants against a deep, shadowed backdrop. Designed by Imary, the composition weaves together muted earthy greens, rich emerald, blue, purple, and subtle touches of yellow into a layered tapestry-like motif. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the quiet sense of depth created by the overlapping forms, giving the botanical elements an atmospheric presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers an easy-to-hang solution for introducing artful detail into your home.

In the room

We find that Watermark Birds comes into its own on larger, uninterrupted wall surfaces where the full rhythm of the botanical silhouettes and birds can unfold without heavy disruption. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a primary sofa creates an enveloping focal point that anchors the entire seating area. The deep palette and layered motif also make it well suited to dedicated meditation rooms or quiet reading areas where a darker, more contemplative backdrop feels natural.

Because the contrast is soft and the tones are predominantly dark and earthy, the pattern does not feel overpowering even across a wide feature wall. Under softer evening lamps or warm directional lighting, the deeper blues and purples recede gently while the emerald foliage catches just enough light to reveal the finer outlines of the flora and fauna.

Styling it

To let the rich depth of the design lead the room, we suggest balancing the wall with simpler, solid-toned furnishings and natural textures:

• Choose upholstery in textured woven textiles or deep velvet in moss green, midnight blue, or warm charcoal to echo the wallpaper's shaded palette without competing with its intricate silhouettes.
• Balance the moody background with dark walnut or warm antique wood furniture, which sits comfortably against the heritage-inspired tapestry character of the artwork.
• Introduce warm metallic accents, such as aged brass or muted bronze lamps and hardware, to catch ambient light and bring a gentle glow against the shadowy botanical backdrop.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep emerald greens, shadowy forest tones, muted blues, and bruised purples, lifted by tiny accents of soft yellow. When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls, skirting boards, or doors, we like pairing this wallpaper with deep, muted olive or dark slate greens to create a cohesive, cocooning environment. If you prefer a lighter contrast, a dusty stone, soft taupe, or warm grey-green works well to frame the wall mural cleanly while preserving the quiet, atmospheric mood of the room.
