Wallpaper - Ancient Woods

Captured by photographer James Schwabel, our Ancient Woods wallpaper brings the lush depth of an old-growth woodland directly onto your wall. A dense foreground of vibrant green ferns gives way to moss-covered tree trunks and soft golden light filtering through the forest canopy. The composition creates a rich sense of perspective and natural atmosphere, balancing fresh fern greens with warm, earthy bark tones. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an expansive forest landscape into your home.

In the room

Because of the strong vertical lines of the ancient trees and the expansive field of ferns across the bottom, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted wall. Placing it along an accent wall in a living room, a quiet library, or a meditation room allows the visual depth of the woodland to unfold without visual disruption. If you have higher ceilings, the upward reach of the forest trunks feels especially natural. In spaces with good daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between moss, ferns, and sunlit branches remain clear and lively throughout the day.

Styling it

When styling around a photographic landscape as detailed as this, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes relatively quiet and grounded. Low-profile seating or open shelving allows the forest perspective to remain open across the room. Natural wood furniture in warm or mid-toned finishes echoes the bark and moss tones in the trees, creating a cohesive visual link between the wallpaper and the interior. Simple, textured textiles in unbleached neutral weaves help balance the richness of the green foliage without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is anchored by vibrant fern greens, rich forest moss, and warm bark browns, with gentle touches of warm golden light in the upper branches. On adjacent walls, we suggest pairing this mural with soft off-whites, warm stone neutrals, or muted earthy beige tones that let the green landscape take center stage. For a moodier, more immersive interior, a deep olive or muted forest green on surrounding woodwork and trim ties directly into the deeper shadows of the woodland motif.
