Wallpaper - Block Print Water Lily Stripes, Lichen

Created by RNM Arts, our Block Print Water Lily Stripes, Lichen wallpaper brings an Art Nouveau botanical motif into a calm, vertical arrangement. The design features stylized water lilies, lily pads, and slender floral stems rendered with a block-print-inspired line quality against a softly textured lichen-green background. Delicate vertical striping and smaller floral buds connect the larger lotus-like bouquets, creating a rhythmic and balanced repeat across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this wallpaper offers an understated, heritage-inspired look that sits comfortably in both classic and contemporary interiors.

In the room

The vertical structure and gentle tonal contrast make this wallpaper adaptable across different room scales. In a bedroom or dining room, we like how the vertical flow draws the eye upward, giving walls a heightened sense of proportion without overwhelming the space. Because the lichen-green palette is subtle and low in contrast, the design works just as comfortably wrapped around an entire living room or hallway as it does on a single focal wall behind a bed or sofa. In spaces with soft daylight, the fine line work of the water lilies and the faint texture in the background remain distinct while maintaining a quiet, cohesive presence.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this wallpaper with interior elements that complement its botanical elegance and linear structure.

• Combine with mid-toned or dark woods such as walnut, antique pine, or painted wood furniture to give the delicate floral print a grounded foundation.
• Introduce understated textiles in natural weaves, such as unbleached linen curtains or wool throws in soft oatmeal and muted olive tones, to maintain a calm, layered atmosphere.
• Choose decorative accents in antique brass, aged bronze, or simple off-white ceramics that echo the vintage, craft-focused character of the motif.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a monochrome harmony of soft lichen green, pale olive, and muted moss tones. When choosing surrounding paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or woodwork, we recommend staying within a close, nature-inspired palette. Soft chalky whites, pale sage, and warm muted taupes complement the background without creating a jarring break. For a slightly moodier, more enveloping space, deeper olive greens or muted forest tones on baseboards and window frames will highlight the delicate printed lines of the motif.
