Wallpaper - Abstract Water Lily, Emerald

Our Abstract Water Lily, Emerald wallpaper, created by RNM Arts, explores a bold botanical motif through graphic, stylised shapes and rich emerald and deep forest green tones. The fan-like spread of the lily pad forms a symmetrical, repeating structure that combines painted-looking textures with striking contour lines. The deep green palette creates an immersive, grounded atmosphere, while the organic rhythm of the leaves brings a sense of continuous movement across the wall. Made to measure for your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love how this design commands attention without overwhelming a space. In a living room or dining area, the wallpaper works beautifully on a prominent feature wall, such as behind a sofa or dining table, where the large-scale botanical repeat has room to unfold. Because the contrast between the emerald linework and the darker background is relatively tonal, it also adapts well across all four walls in a bedroom or study to create a cocooning, atmospheric interior. The rich green tones deepen under warmer evening lighting and reveal their finer textural nuances in rooms with ample natural daylight.

Styling it

The graphic presence and saturated palette of this design pair naturally with both contemporary and mid-century modern furniture. We recommend balancing the strong botanical shapes with clean lines and unpretentious silhouettes.

Warm wood finishes, like mid-toned walnut or teak, create a timeless contrast against the deep emerald backdrop, bringing an earthy warmth to the room. For upholstery and accents, muted neutrals such as oatmeal, warm grey, or charcoal let the wallpaper remain the focal point. To add a considered metallic touch, brushed brass or antique bronze lighting and hardware echo the vintage, Art Nouveau sensibility of the curved lily forms.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on rich emerald and deep pine greens, outlined with a brighter botanical green. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and large furnishings, we suggest exploring complementary earth tones.

Warm off-whites, soft bone, and muted greiges keep adjacent walls light and fresh without creating a harsh contrast. For a more dramatic, monochromatic look, colour-drenching neighbouring walls or architectural trim in a deep moss or olive green seamlessly ties the entire room together. Accent colours in warm ochre, burnt amber, or soft terracotta provide a vibrant, grounded contrast that enlivens the green foundation.
