Wallpaper - Pots of Herbs II Cottage

Created by Carol Rowan, our Pots of Herbs II Cottage wallpaper brings together an array of potted culinary herbs rendered in a soft, painterly oil style. Weathered terracotta pots line up side by side, planted with labelled varieties including basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, chives, and marjoram. The rich green foliage contrasts against warm terracotta tones and a gently distressed, pale background, giving the scene a charming rustic character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper is straightforward to hang and brings an inviting botanical presence to interior walls.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a kitchen or dining room, where its botanical subject matter feels completely at home. Because the composition features a horizontal row of pots grounded along the lower edge, it sits naturally along a dining wall, above low cabinetry, or on an uninterrupted wall beside a dining table. The horizontal spread allows the full arrangement of herbs to remain visible, while the soft, muted backdrop keeps the overall look light and open.

Styling it

To complement the English country cottage feel of this design, we suggest pairing it with natural textures and unpretentious furnishings.

• Natural wood dining tables or cabinetry, whether in warm pine, oak, or softly painted finishes, echo the earthy warmth of the terracotta pots.
• Linen table runners, simple woven baskets, and stoneware ceramics enhance the quiet, rustic mood of the motif without competing with its details.
• Matte black or antique brass metal accents on lighting or cupboard hardware provide a subtle anchor against the softer painted tones.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on deep fern greens, sage, and basil leaves balanced by the warm, sunbaked orange and terracotta hues of the clay pots, all resting on a distressed neutral background. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, muted stone, or gentle pale greens create a harmonious backdrop that lets the herbal motif stand out. If you prefer deeper accents, rich olive green or warm earth tones on adjoining surfaces tie directly into the foliage.
