Wallpaper - Quaking Grass

Slender stems of quaking grass rise upwards in this botanical design by Deborah Revell, with delicate oval seed heads suspended against a softly painted, light plaster-effect background. Tones of light green and soft olive mix with quiet touches of pale blush and muted blue in the backdrop, giving the motif an airy, organic character. The fine stems create an open vertical rhythm that feels light and balanced on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper, our PVC-free paper features a subtle surface structure that complements the painterly backdrop.

In the room

We especially like how the vertical stems anchor themselves along the lower section before branching out into suspended seed heads, making this design well suited to walls behind low furniture. In a bedroom, it works naturally behind a headboard where the upper wall remains open and spacious. For a living room or a dedicated meditation space, placing this wallpaper on a continuous, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full height and delicate movement of the grass stalks to be appreciated without interruption.

Styling it

The light ground and botanical detail pair effortlessly with minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. We would balance the delicate linework with low-profile furniture in pale wood tones such as ash or birch, which echo the natural feel of the foliage. Soft, woven wool or neutral cotton upholstery keeps the focus on the wall while maintaining a calm, cohesive room atmosphere.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper brings together fresh grassy greens, olive accents, and a textured white background washed with faint pastel undertones. For adjacent walls and surrounding millwork, we suggest soft off-whites, warm chalky neutrals, or muted sage. If you want to introduce deeper grounding accents through furniture or accessories, deep olive or subtle charcoal tones pick up the fine shadows along the stems.
