Wallpaper - Kates Rushes III

In our Kates Rushes III wallpaper, designer Deborah Revell brings together tall, slender cattails with fine, spiky grasses across a soft off-white and cream canvas-textured backdrop. The vertical rhythm of the deep brown seed heads and delicate reed stems gives the design a grounded, organic balance with generous negative space. It works wonderfully when you want to bring the gentle character of nature into an interior without overwhelming the room. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the botanical elements rise vertically against a light, open ground, we find this design works exceptionally well in spaces where you want a calm visual anchor. In a bedroom, placing it along the wall behind the headboard creates a serene backdrop that draws the eye upward without making the room feel enclosed. In a living room or home office, the motif's restraint allows it to sit comfortably across a wider uninterrupted wall, or as a focal point in a dining alcove. The spacious composition also makes it a lovely choice for hallways and entryways, where the upright forms can add a sense of height and natural flow to narrower transitions.

Styling it

We like pairing this wallpaper with interiors that lean into organic minimalism, contemporary simplicity, or wabi-sabi aesthetics. Keep surrounding furniture low-profile and grounded to let the upright reeds establish the visual height of the room.

Unfinished or light warm woods complement the earthy brown tones of the rushes, while textured plaster accessories or simple ceramic vessels echo the canvas-like visual texture in the background. Choosing matte, unadorned textiles helps maintain the quiet, uncluttered feel of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on deep earthy browns and muted botanical tones set over soft off-white, cream, and warm neutral background notes. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend staying close to warm stone, soft alabaster, or pale oat tones to keep the entire space cohesive. If you prefer a touch more contrast, pulling out the deep espresso brown of the cattail heads for an accent chair, light fitting, or dark wood console creates a striking and considered relationship with the wall murals.
