Wallpaper - Motley Grass

Our Motley Grass wallpaper brings botanical freshness into the home through dense, layered foliage rising naturally from the base of the wall. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the painterly detail of the foreground leaves, with their variegated patterns and subtle blue floral accents, and the airy, textured pale background with softer shadowy fronds behind. As part of our made-to-measure wall murals, this PVC-free wallpaper creates an organic, tranquil horizon that grounds a space without overwhelming the upper wall area.

In the room

Because the botanical weight of Motley Grass is concentrated along the lower portion, we find it works exceptionally well behind lower furniture. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or credenza allows the lush greens to frame the seating area while leaving the upper wall visually open and quiet.

The vertical growth of the foliage also lends itself naturally to a dedicated meditation room, reading nook, or calm corner where you want a grounded, garden-inspired atmosphere. For rooms with generous natural daylight, the subtle tonal gradations across the leaves and the soft plaster-effect backdrop become especially distinct and inviting.

Styling it

To complement the botanical character of Motley Grass, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings understated and grounded in an organic modern style. Low-slung furniture upholstered in neutral, textured fabrics like woven cotton or bouclé helps anchor the room without competing with the leafy motif.

For surrounding surfaces, natural oak or light ash furniture pairs beautifully with the warm green tones, while dark bronze or matte black lighting fixtures provide a crisp, graphic counterpoint to the soft watercolor-like rendering of the plants.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by rich botanical tones, from deep fern and olive greens to softer sage and pale celadon, highlighted by occasional tiny touches of clear blue in the flower petals. The upper backdrop carries a gentle, mottled grey-green wash that feels airy and calm.

When selecting paint for adjacent walls or trim, we recommend pulling out the quiet background tint with a soft off-white, chalky limestone, or very pale sage. If you prefer a richer, more cocooning palette, echoing the deep leafy tones on adjacent woodwork or built-in shelving creates an elegant, cohesive room scheme.
