Wallpaper - Ancient Trails

Captured by photographer James Schwabel, our Ancient Trails wallpaper presents an immersive panoramic view deep within a lush, temperate rainforest. Towering moss-covered tree trunks rise naturally through a vibrant understory of wild ferns, dense foliage, and soft woodland groundcover. The composition balances rich forest greens, moss tones, and warm earthy barks to create an expansive sense of depth and peaceful natural character on the wall. Made to measure for your specific wall dimensions, our wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room or dedicated meditation room, this photographic landscape works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full panorama can unfold. The strong vertical lines of the tall trees draw the eye upward, making it an excellent match for rooms with higher ceilings or open floor plans. Because the foreground foliage carries rich botanical detail, we like placing it along a wall behind low-profile seating or minimalist furniture, keeping the lower forest floor clearly visible. In a vacation home or quiet reading area, positioning this design where it catches gentle daylight allows the subtle gradations between fern green and mossy bark to stand out naturally.

Styling it

To complement the rich natural greenery of the forest scenery, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, organic interior elements:

• Choose clean-lined furniture in warm natural woods or muted neutral finishes, allowing the depth and detailed greenery of the wall mural to remain the focal point of the space.
• Introduce unpatterned upholstery and soft woven textiles in off-white, taupe, or soft grey to balance the density of the foliage without introducing competing visual patterns.
• Keep surrounding accessories understated, opting for simple ceramics or minimalist lighting fixtures that echo the calm, grounded feel of an old-growth woodland.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored in earthy forest tones, including vibrant fern green, deep moss, golden-green undertones, and warm bark browns. When painting surrounding walls or selecting trim, we recommend softer neutral shades like warm stone, soft taupe, or gentle linen white. For a more enveloping, nature-inspired palette, deep olive or muted forest greens work beautifully on adjacent cabinetry, architectural trim, or accent furniture.
