Wallpaper - Sunny Ancient

Our Sunny Ancient wallpaper captures an expansive old-growth forest scene photographed by James Schwabel, where towering tree trunks rise amidst vibrant fern undergrowth and moss-draped branches. Warm sunlight catches the bark and foliage, creating a rich contrast between deep woodland shadows and luminous golden-green highlights. The photographic composition carries an immersive sense of depth, with vertical trunks establishing a natural rhythm across the panorama. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of its sweeping landscape scale and strong vertical perspective, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a main feature wall in a spacious living room or a dedicated meditation space. Placing the wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or along an open wall allows the full height of the forest trees and the detailed fern floor to remain visible. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the warm golden highlights in the canopy really come alive, while softer evening lighting deepens the woodland shadows and brings out a grounded, tranquil atmosphere.

Styling it

To let the detailed forest imagery take centre stage, we would keep surrounding furnishings understated and grounded in natural forms. Low, clean-lined furniture prevents the intricate ground layer of ferns and moss from being obscured, maintaining the open depth of the photograph.

We would pair this design with warm timber finishes, such as natural oak, along with textured woven fabrics in linen or wool. Keeping decorative clutter to a minimum allows the panoramic woodland view to act as the primary visual focus of the interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by rich organic tones, including lush fern green, deep moss, golden sunlight accents, and dark earthy bark browns.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and textiles, we recommend:

• Muted earthy greens that echo the dense moss and foliage for a seamless, continuous look
• Warm off-whites or soft stone shades on adjacent walls to reflect natural light and complement the golden highlights
• Deep charcoal or forest brown accents on architectural trim or key furniture pieces to balance the dark tree trunks
