Wallpaper - Glass Plate I

Our Glass Plate I wallpaper, designed by Deborah Revell, captures three calla lilies in an antique photographic style rich with sepia, smoky gray, and soft neutral tones. We particularly like how the composition balances the sculptural curves of the flower petals with slender stems and subtle surface patina, giving the motif the visual character of a historical glass plate negative. The understated contrast and vintage floral aesthetic lend an artistic, collected feel to a space. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif functions much like a large-scale fine art photograph, we see this working exceptionally well as a focal point in a living room, bedroom, or home library. In a bedroom, placing this design on the wall behind the headboard creates an intimate, atmospheric backdrop where the quiet tones never compete for attention. In a living room or reading room, we would give the design a relatively uninterrupted wall so the full botanical composition and subtle aged textures can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the central forms.

Styling it

To complement the vintage photographic aesthetic, we would pair this wallpaper with furnishings that have their own sense of history or quiet presence. Dark wood pieces, such as walnut or aged oak, anchor the sepia and smoke tones naturally, while tailored upholstery in warm neutral textiles allows the floral study to remain the primary visual focus. We would keep decorative accessories relatively simple: consider antique brass reading lamps, vintage framed sketches, or clean modern ceramics that let the delicate linework of the lilies stand out.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette centers around moody smoke gray, weathered sepia, and muted neutral highlights. When choosing surrounding paint colors, we recommend pulling from these soft background values. Warm stone, chalky greige, or soft charcoal on adjoining walls and woodwork will enhance the atmospheric depth of the design. If you prefer deeper contrast, pairing it with dark espresso or muted soot tones on surrounding trim creates a sophisticated, gallery-like setting.
