Wallpaper - Block Print Water Lily Stripes, Duck Egg

Our Block Print Water Lily Stripes wallpaper in Duck Egg, designed by RNM Arts, brings together stylised lotus blossoms and lily pads with vertical linear motifs. The design draws inspiration from classic block-print techniques, featuring delicate hand-carved-style linework layered over a subtly textured, tonal duck egg green backdrop. This gentle, low-contrast composition creates a balanced vertical rhythm across the wall, making it an elegant choice for creating a calm, cohesive atmosphere throughout a room. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The measured cadence and soft duck egg palette make this design wonderfully versatile across a variety of residential spaces. We see this working particularly well in a tranquil bedroom, where the repeating water lily bouquets create a restful backdrop behind a headboard. In a hallway or entryway, the vertical stripes and delicate floral linework help draw the eye upward, accentuating ceiling height without overwhelming narrower walls. Because the contrast between the motifs and the ground is deliberately gentle, this pattern also sits comfortably across all four walls in a living room, dining area, or guest bedroom rather than being confined solely to a feature wall.

Styling it

To complement the artisanal, block-printed character of the pattern, we suggest pairing it with furniture and architectural elements that carry a classic or vintage sensibility.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as mid-tone oak, walnut, or antique pine, to introduce natural depth and balance the cool undertones of the duck egg ground.
• Incorporate woven textiles in muted ivory, oatmeal, or unbleached cotton to enhance the soft, tactile feel of the room without introducing competing visual patterns.
• Add subtle metallic details through brushed brass, antique bronze, or muted copper lighting and hardware to echo the heritage character of the linework.

Colour combinations

The palette of this wallpaper centres on a serene duck egg green base with slightly deeper sage and seafoam green linework. When planning your surrounding interior, we recommend pairing this design with chalky off-whites, soft creams, or pale stone on woodwork, skirting, and ceilings. For a richer, more enveloping scheme, deeper botanical greens, eucalyptus tones, or muted moss create a sophisticated tonal flow on adjacent walls or painted cabinetry. If you prefer subtle warmth, accents of pale terracotta, dusty blush, or muted ochre provide an appealing natural contrast against the soft green backdrop.
