Wallpaper - Swimming Lilies

Our Swimming Lilies wallpaper brings together delicate white water lilies and soft green lily pads floating across a muted purple and mauve backdrop. The composition is defined by an artistic fresco look, featuring fine painted cracking and an exposed plaster effect along the lower edge that lends the piece a gentle, weathered character. With its balanced floral placement and earthy undertones, this wall mural introduces a quiet, poetic atmosphere to an interior wall. Our custom wallpapers are made to measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure that makes them straightforward to hang.

In the room

We especially like this design for spaces dedicated to quiet pause, such as a bathroom, a dedicated meditation room, or a bedroom retreat. The horizontal arrangement of the water lilies creates a serene panoramic movement that works particularly well across a wider uninterrupted wall where the full painted scene can unfold. Because the lower portion transitions into a soft, textured stone-and-plaster look, the visual weight settles naturally at the base, keeping the upper expanse feeling open and light. On a feature wall behind a freestanding bathtub or a low-profile bed, the floral detail draws the eye without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

When decorating around this mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding elements understated to complement its artistic, vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Low furniture pieces with clean silhouettes let the floating florals remain fully visible. Natural, light-toned wood or softly weathered finishes harmonise effortlessly with the organic pond motif, while brushed brass or antique bronze accents can subtly echo the warm yellow stamens of the lilies. Incorporating unadorned ceramic pieces or simple woven textiles reinforces the grounded, earthy quality of the design without competing with its intricate surface details.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a gentle palette of dusty mauve, lavender-grey, muted lily-pad greens, and creamy whites with warm golden centers. To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing this design with off-white or soft alabaster paint on adjacent walls and ceiling mouldings to highlight the exposed plaster elements. For a richer, more enveloping feel, subtle sage green or pale plum on woodwork and textiles will pick up the organic tones of the botanical artwork while maintaining a calm, balanced ambiance.
