Wallpaper - Banana Palms, Muted Green

Our Banana Palms, Muted Green wallpaper brings a layered botanical composition into the home, combining sweeping palm fronds with broad, arching foliage. Designed by Irina Chikati, the motif uses delicate watercolor-inspired brushwork, with visible vein detailing and varying tonal depths from soft fern to deeper mossy greens. A misty backdrop in pale off-white and gentle grey gives the botanical elements room to breathe, creating an airy sense of atmospheric depth across the wall. Produced to order as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design features a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the printed artwork while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a bedroom or main living room, we see this design working particularly well on an expansive, uninterrupted wall behind a bed frame or low sofa. Because the botanical forms have generous scale and organic movement, giving the wallpaper a wider surface allows the full rhythm of the leaves to unfold naturally. In a vacation home or a quieter living area, it can easily define a dedicated sitting corner without overwhelming the surrounding space. The softer contrast between the leafy greens and the pale grey background keeps the overall feel light and open, making it comfortable across larger wall areas in rooms with steady daylight.

Styling it

When styling around this botanical motif, we prefer keeping large furniture relatively grounded and understated so the foliage remains the primary focus.

• Pair with warm wood tones such as natural ash, teak, or mid-toned oak to complement the earthy green palette without competing with the organic shapes.
• Choose upholstered seating and bedding in simple woven textiles like unbleached linen, textured cotton, or oatmeal wool to balance the painted watercolor aesthetic.
• Introduce understated accents in muted terracotta, aged bronze, or matte black to subtly anchor the lighter backdrop.

Colour combinations

The design is built upon a palette of earthy greens, soft fern tones, and pale, mist-grey neutrals. To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pairing adjacent painted walls with chalky off-whites, pale stone, or soft grey-tinted neutrals that echo the mural's background. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a lounge or reading nook, pulling out the deeper moss tones for surrounding woodwork, doors, or window trims adds deliberate definition. Muted clay accents or sandy beige textiles also sit naturally alongside the earthy green leaves.
