Wallpaper - Kyoto Grace, Fog

Our Kyoto Grace, Fog wallpaper, designed by Irina Chikati, presents an understated botanical landscape grounded in classic chinoiserie aesthetics. Graceful cranes stand calmly on rolling green mounds, framed by leafy trees rendered in soft greens and delicate whites against a quiet pastel grey background. The delicate ink-and-paint drawing character gives each branch and bird a light, refined presence on the wall. Produced made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, this wallpaper offers an enduring, balanced look that brings the serenity of nature into your home.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want a calm, composed atmosphere. In a bedroom or a dedicated study, placing Kyoto Grace, Fog on a main wall behind a bed or desk gives the crane motif room to unfold without feeling crowded. The gentle contrast between the pastel grey backdrop and the leafy foliage means the pattern remains light and airy, even across wider walls in an open-plan living room or dining area.

For smaller settings such as a powder room or home office, the balanced composition keeps the space feeling open. Because the landscape elements are distributed across the lower and middle ground of the scene, standard room furniture like low sideboards or reading chairs will sit comfortably against the design without obscuring the main focal points of the trees and birds.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer keeping adjacent materials understated and authentic to complement its historic ink-drawing influence.

• Choose furniture in warm, mid-toned woods or soft painted finishes that echo the organic feel of the landscape without competing with the illustration.
• Layer in textured woven fabrics such as natural wool throws or simple cotton curtains in off-white tones to complement the quiet grey background.
• Incorporate subtle accents in muted antique brass or dark bronze, which pick up on the fine linear details of the cranes and branches.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on pale misty greys, muted woodland greens, and soft chalky whites. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls, skirting boards, or cornices, a gentle off-white or a cool, muted grey will help the mural integrate naturally into the room architecture.

If you prefer richer contrast, deep moss green or slate grey works nicely on woodwork, built-in shelving, or upholstery. For larger soft furnishings, pale stone, oatmeal, and muted sage tones maintain the serene character of the overall scheme.
