Wallpaper - Motley Grass

Our Motley Grass wallpaper brings lush foliage along the bottom edge of the wall, rising into an airy, soft plaster-effect backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the painterly watercolour treatment of the broad leaves, where varied tones of fern, sage, and deep forest green create depth and natural rhythm. Tiny blue blossoms dot the greenery, adding subtle focal points without interrupting the quiet, grounded feel of the composition. Printed to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are easy to hang and make creating a considered accent wall straightforward.

In the room

Because the botanical illustration rises from the floor line and leaves the upper portion open and quiet, this design works beautifully in living rooms or quiet lounge spaces. We like placing it on a main wall behind low-profile seating, such as a low-back sofa or a low console, where the layered foliage remains visible above and around the furniture. In a meditation space or quiet corner, the gentle transition from dense green leaves to the pale, textured background gives the room an open, grounded atmosphere without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To complement the organic character of the illustration, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings simple and textured. Low furniture in natural oak or ash sits naturally against the lower greenery, allowing the botanicals to frame the room without competing lines.

For surrounding textiles, we suggest unbleached linen, textured cotton, or flatweave wool rugs in quiet stone or oat tones. Simple ceramic vessels or matte black metal accents provide just enough definition to ground the organic curves of the painted foliage.

Colour combinations

The artwork is rooted in a rich palette of fern green, moss, and muted sage, contrasted by soft grey-green undertones in the textured background and tiny pops of cornflower blue.

Around this wallpaper, we recommend using off-white, warm pale grey, or chalky mineral paint on adjacent walls to match the light upper field. If you prefer a richer feel, deep olive or forest green on adjacent joinery or trim can anchor the lower leaves and create an enveloping, intentional space.
