Wallpaper - Samarkand Ferns, Plum

Our Samarkand Ferns, Plum wallpaper presents a rhythmic Art Nouveau composition designed by E. A. Séguy, featuring stylized cream and blue botanical leaves framed within delicate dotted arches. Set against a deep, muted purple eggplant background, the vertical repeat balances decorative structure with organic curve. What we particularly appreciate about this design is how the textile-inspired geometry brings an archival elegance to a wall without feeling overly dense. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, it provides an expressive visual foundation for living spaces and quiet corners alike.

In the room

In a living room or home library, the structured vertical pattern naturally draws the eye upward, giving taller walls a refined architectural order. We see this working particularly well across a reading area or surrounding a collection of low bookshelves, where the repetition of the arched frames can be appreciated at eye level. Because the motif relies on a darker, moody ground, it thrives on an accent wall behind a main sofa or wrapped around an intimate study. In spaces with softer afternoon or lamp light, the eggplant backdrop settles into a velvety depth, letting the pale cream and muted blue leaves gently stand out.

Styling it

The heritage character of the Séguy pattern calls for furnishings with clean lines or quiet classic shapes that do not compete with the decorative arches. We suggest pairing this wallpaper with warm, dark-toned wood pieces like walnut or stained oak to anchor the rich purple ground, alongside soft, unpatterned velvet or linen upholstery. For lighting and decorative hardware, warm metals such as antique brass or aged bronze bring out the vintage undertones of the botanical details.

Colour combinations

The pattern itself is anchored by a deep eggplant purple base, lifted by cream, soft ivory, and dusty blue accents within the foliage. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest pulling out the paler neutral notes for adjacent painted walls, trims, or ceiling mouldings to keep the room feeling balanced. For larger furniture or accent pieces, muted petrol blue, slate, or rich terracotta create a sophisticated dialogue with the purple and blue tones in the pattern.
