Wallpaper - Forest Fern I

Our Forest Fern I wallpaper, created by Cheryl Warrick, presents a botanical study rendered with the soft, fluid character of watercolour. The composition centres on a gracefully curving fern frond, with individual pointed leaflets rendered in deep navy and softer blue tones that flow across an open white ground. The gentle colour gradients within each leaf give the botanical form a sense of organic movement and artistic clarity without crowding the wall. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in a living room, home art studio, or a dedicated meditation space. Because the motif relies on an open white background and a single curving stem, it brings a sense of height and natural rhythm without visually enclosing the room.

In a living room, we would place this design on a main feature wall behind a low-profile sofa or along an uninterrupted stretch of wall where the arching frond has space to unfold. The crisp contrast between the rich navy paint tones and the white backdrop makes it versatile across both compact spaces and larger open rooms, keeping the wall feeling open, tranquil, and bright.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest keeping the surrounding decor clean and grounded to let the delicate botanical brushwork take centre stage.

• Choose furniture with clean, simple profiles in light wood tones such as ash or pale oak, which complement the Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic and balance the dark navy tones.
• Introduce quiet textiles in off-white, soft ivory, or light natural wool to echo the calm, airy background of the design.
• Incorporate subtle matte black or dark indigo accents in table lamps or slim picture frames to tie directly into the deeper pigment of the fern frond.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by classic navy, softer watercolour blue gradients, and a pure, clean white background. To create a cohesive palette throughout the rest of the room, consider these complementary directions:

Pair the mural with crisp off-white or soft alabaster paint on adjacent walls to extend the bright, spacious quality of the background. If you prefer more depth, a deep navy accent on surrounding woodwork, doors, or low cabinetry creates a striking visual frame that echoes the darkest blue tones of the leaves. For a gentle, balanced scheme, soft neutral stone and pale greys work naturally alongside the blue watercolour tones.
