Wallpaper - Block Print Water Lily Stripes, Hay

Designed by RNM Arts, our Block Print Water Lily Stripes, Hay wallpaper pairs stylized water lily bouquets with delicate vertical column motifs on a textured straw-green ground. The design has the refined visual character of traditional block printing, featuring symmetrical arrangements of blossoming water lilies, buds, and floating lily pads rendered in soft cream and subtle olive linework. Subtle vertical striations in the warm hay background add visual depth to the repeat, creating an orderly, calming rhythm across the wall. Our wallpapers are made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The balanced vertical cadence and gentle, low-contrast palette make this wallpaper versatile across both compact and generous living spaces. We particularly like it in a bedroom or hallway, where the upright botanical stems create an impression of quiet height without overwhelming the architecture. In an open-plan dining area or sitting room, the repeating lily motifs provide enough visual interest to anchor an accent wall, yet remain restrained enough to wrap across multiple walls for a cohesive, enveloping feel. Because the linework is delicate and the background tone is muted, the pattern reads comfortably even on walls partly framed by doorways or windows.

Styling it

To complement the Arts and Crafts and botanical heritage of this design, we suggest pairing it with warm, natural materials and clean-lined furniture. Mid-tone wood finishes such as warm oak or teak pick up the earthy undertones of the hay background and give the room grounded warmth. For textiles, simple woven linens and textured cottons in unbleached ecru, oatmeal, or muted olive keep the focus on the wallpaper’s block-print character without introducing competing patterns. Matte ceramic table lamps or subtle aged brass accents also sit naturally alongside the gentle golden-green ground.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a soft hay-yellow and muted olive background, accented with cream petals and fine olive-green contour lines. To create a harmonious space around it, consider painting adjoining walls and baseboards in soft ivory, warm stone, or pale linen. If you prefer a richer, more contrasting atmosphere, deep forest greens or warm ochre accents in upholstery and decorative details will draw out the botanical elements while keeping the overall palette grounded and organic.
