Wallpaper - Kates Rushes II

Our Kates Rushes II wallpaper brings a quiet botanical atmosphere into the home, designed by Deborah Revell. Tall cattails with deep brown heads rise above pale, slender winter grasses, set against an ivory and off-white backdrop with a gentle visual texture. The photographic composition balances open negative space with delicate vertical line work, creating a calm, minimalist mood that avoids visual clutter. As with all our wallpapers, this design is produced made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on an accent wall in a bedroom or living room, where the tall rushes can stretch upward without being crowded. The vertical reach of the cattails naturally draws the eye up, making it a thoughtful choice behind a low bed frame or along an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa. In a dedicated home office or quiet reading corner, the muted composition provides an organic backdrop that stays understated on video calls and during everyday work. Because the upper half of the motif remains open and pale, the wallpaper works comfortably in rooms with standard ceiling heights without making the space feel enclosed.

Styling it

To complement the organic, minimalist character of the photograph, we would keep the surrounding interior simple and grounded. Low-profile furniture with clean horizontal lines allows the tall vertical stems to remain the focal point of the room. Warm, pale wood tones like ash or bleached oak sit naturally alongside the dry grass hues in the print. When choosing larger upholstered pieces, textured woven fabrics in oatmeal, light sand, or unbleached linen echo the quiet, wabi-sabi quality of the botanical scene without competing with its delicate details.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is built on soft ivory, muted gray, dry grass tones, and accents of deep umber brown in the cattail heads. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend sticking to warm off-whites, pale stone, or light chalky neutrals that pick up on the lighter sections of the background. If you want to introduce deeper accents through furniture, window trim, or lighting, dark walnut, charcoal, or deep espresso brown will anchor the room by mirroring the rich tones of the cattails.
