Wallpaper - Nesting Green

Our Nesting Green wallpaper, designed by Tanja Smedh, brings together lush acanthus leaves, curling tendrils, and a rich tapestry-like visual texture. Symmetrical swirling foliage flows outwards from central motifs, creating a balanced damask rhythm layered across a deep forest green background. Fine, intricate vein details and shadowed line work give the foliage remarkable depth, recalling classical 19th-century botanical engravings. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, our wallpaper paper features a subtle surface structure that complements the organic density of this heritage pattern.

In the room

Because of its dense symmetry and enveloping green palette, we see this design working beautifully across an entire room where you want a grounded, immersive atmosphere. In a home library or study, wrapping all four walls creates a cohesive, classic study feel where the repeating acanthus leaves frame bookshelves and reading corners naturally.

If you prefer to focus on a single feature wall, we suggest giving Nesting Green a wide, uninterrupted wall area. In a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting area, an unobstructed surface allows the balanced diamond repeat to show its full ornamental character without being broken up by tall storage units. Under soft daylight, the subtle tonal shifts within the forest green foliage come forward, while lower artificial evening lighting brings out the deeper shadows of the background.

Styling it

The classical tapestry character of this wallpaper pairs naturally with heritage interior styles, Victorian-inspired rooms, and traditional aesthetics. To complement the detailed botanical motifs, we like using furniture with simple, solid silhouettes so the wall pattern remains the visual hero.

Darker wood pieces, such as walnut or deep stained timber, echo the earthy depth of the forest green base. You can also introduce understated brass hardware or antique bronze light fixtures, which bring a warm metallic contrast against the cooler leafy tones without competing with the fine line work.

Colour combinations

The pattern itself is built on a rich foundation of deep forest green, olive, moss, and shadowed charcoal linework.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or doors, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with muted sage or warm stone tones to keep the overall look cohesive and calm. For a moodier, enveloping scheme, you can match surrounding woodwork and baseboards directly to the deepest forest green or dark olive found in the background of the design.
