Wallpaper - Matale

Designed by Haitham, our Matale wallpaper brings a serene tropical landscape into the home through soft watercolour-style painting. Broad banana palms and fan leaves rise above dense layers of jungle foliage, interspersed with delicate orchids, protea blooms, and colourful birds in flight against a misty, muted mountain backdrop. The palette is grounded in earthy fern greens, soft sage, and warm blush tones that keep the panoramic composition gentle on the eye. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the heaviest detail sits across the lower third of the composition before opening into hazy distant hills, we see this mural working exceptionally well behind lower furniture. In a living room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa allows the lush foreground to frame seating while the open sky and flying birds add height and breathing room to the space.

In a bedroom, the landscape makes an inviting backdrop behind a bed, creating a tranquil botanical vista that surrounds the sleeping area. For open-plan living areas or dining rooms, we suggest giving this wall mural a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall so the full panorama can unfold across the room without feeling fragmented by high cabinetry or heavy tall units.

Styling it

The heritage, botanical character of this design pairs naturally with warm, tactile interior elements that echo its organic motifs. We would combine it with warm wood furniture, such as honey-toned teak or soft oak, which complements the earthy green and pale clay notes in the background.

To keep the room balanced, surrounding upholstery and curtains work best in relaxed, quiet textures such as unbleached cotton or natural weaves in stone or warm off-white. Avoiding heavy patterns in nearby rugs or soft furnishings allows the detailed botanical line work in the wallpaper to remain the primary visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

Our Matale design is built around a foundational palette of fern green, sage, moss, and muted olive, balanced by the pale dusky blush and warm mist tones of the upper sky, with small accents of lilac and soft rose in the exotic flowers.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, we like using a chalky warm off-white or soft linen shade to mirror the lighter tones in the misty background. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, picking out the deep fern or moss green for skirting boards and interior doors ties the lower botanical undergrowth together seamlessly.
