Wallpaper - The Old Tree

Our The Old Tree wallpaper captures a striking photographic landscape created by Micael Widell, defined by the rugged silhouette of a solitary, leafless tree. Gnarled branches reach out against a soft, overcast grey sky, while rich forest green shrubs gather around its base and rolling hills recede gently into the background. The earthy palette balances dark wood tones, deep foliage, and quiet mist, creating a contemplative visual presence on the wall. Produced to order as custom wall murals, our wallpapers are made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an anchor on a wider, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. Because the composition relies on the vertical reach of the branches and the horizontal stretch of the rolling hills, giving the mural room to breathe allows the full atmospheric depth of the photograph to unfold. In a living area, placing this scenic wallpaper behind a lower sofa ensures the intricate branch silhouettes remain visible rather than hidden. The muted cloudy sky occupies the upper portion of the design, which helps keep the overall feeling airy even in spaces with moderate natural daylight, while the dense green base grounds the lower half of the interior.

Styling it

To complement the organic character of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing this design with simple, grounded furnishings that do not compete with the detail of the branches:

• Low-profile furniture with clean, modern lines lets the landscape take centre stage while preserving the quiet mood of the room.
• Natural, unvarnished wood elements in ash or light oak echo the raw texture of the tree trunk without darkening the space.
• Matte ceramic accents and textured woven upholstery introduce tactile warmth that balances the smooth, misty background of the print.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around deep forest green, weathered charcoal, bark brown, and soft cloud grey. Around the mural, we suggest using off-white, chalky grey, or gentle stone tones on neighbouring walls and woodwork to pick up the quiet light in the sky. If you want to lean into a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the deep forest green for surrounding paintwork, shelving, or upholstery creates a natural, seamless transition with the foliage at the base of the tree.
