Wallpaper - Opus Toad

Our Opus Toad wallpaper, designed by Tanja Smedh, brings an intricate, vintage-inspired botanical tapestry to life on a deep hunter green background. Golden wheat stalks, blue and green foliage, and delicate floral details weave through symmetrical ribbon forms, framing a distinctive mask motif flanked by feather-like elements. The ink drawing appearance gives the ornate pattern a refined, heritage feel with a rich earthy palette. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an artistic, immersive focal point that works wonderfully across living areas, home libraries, or dedicated reading nooks.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want a sense of intimacy and depth. In a living room, it anchors the seating area effortlessly when placed along a main feature wall behind a sofa. For a home library, study, or meditation room, wrapping the pattern across multiple walls creates an enveloping, atmospheric retreat where the detailed symmetry can be appreciated from close up. Because the motif is dense and rich, it thrives on walls that allow the rhythmic structure of the ribbons and central emblems to repeat without heavy disruption from tall, solid storage units. Under soft, warm evening lamplight, the contrast between the golden accents and the dark green backdrop becomes especially striking.

Styling it

To balance the ornate, Art Nouveau-influenced character of the design, we suggest pairing it with classic interior pieces that have clean silhouettes and grounded visual weight.

• Warm, mid-toned to darker wood finishes, such as walnut or aged oak, complement the earthy base tones while preserving the historic character of the pattern.
• Antique brass or muted bronze accents in table lamps, picture frames, and hardware resonate naturally with the golden wheat and ribbon details.
• Upholstery in matte, tactile fabrics like woven wool, velvet, or heavy linen in deep forest greens, petrol blue, or neutral oatmeal helps ground the room without competing with the detailed pattern.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a deep hunter green base, layered with golden wheat hues, soft botanical blues, and earthy greens. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and architraves, you can take several approaches. Continuing the deep hunter green onto adjacent walls or trim creates a dramatic, cohesive look that makes the room feel unified. If you prefer more contrast, a soft muted taupe, warm stone, or off-white on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling balanced while letting the wall murals remain the clear visual centrepiece. Rich ochre, mustard, and deep navy also work well as accent tones in decorative cushions, throws, or curtains.
