Wallpaper - Abstract Water Lily, Emerald

Our Abstract Water Lily, Emerald wallpaper by RNM Arts brings a stylised botanical motif into an architectural, fan-like composition. Deep emerald green and rich forest tones form the graphic silhouette of radiating water lily leaves, framed by flowing outline curves and subtle stippled textures. The layered green-on-green palette gives the repeat a calm, sophisticated depth without relying on sharp contrast. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an immersive, tailored backdrop for contemporary interiors.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want a rich, enveloping atmosphere. In a dining room or an intimate living room, the symmetrical curve of the motif creates a structured rhythm across an accent wall behind a sideboard or dining table. Because the pattern relies on tonal depth rather than jarring contrast, it also sits comfortably across all four walls in a bedroom or a dedicated study, wrapping the space in deep botanical green without feeling overwhelming.

In rooms with higher ceilings, the upward flare of the water lily leaves naturally draws the eye upwards, accentuating the vertical height of the wall. Natural daylight softens the darker emerald background and reveals the finer line work and dappled details within each leaf. Under warm evening lighting, the deeper tones recede, giving the room a cosy, grounded feel.

Styling it

The graphic structure of this wallpaper pairs naturally with clean lines and warm natural textures:

• Combine the deep green backdrop with mid-tone or dark woods such as walnut, stained oak, or teak to enhance the organic, mid-century undertone of the motif.
• Choose upholstered seating or dining chairs in warm neutral textiles, such as cream bouclé or oatmeal wool, to create a soft, intentional contrast against the darker wall.
• Introduce warm metallic hardware or lighting fixtures in brushed brass or aged bronze, which glow beautifully against the deep emerald palette.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a close tonal harmony of deep emerald, dark forest green, and brighter jade highlights along the outer contours.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we recommend working with warm off-whites, soft parchment tones, or muted stone shades to keep the room balanced and open. For a bolder, monochromatic look, colour-drenching adjacent skirtings and trim in a matching deep forest green allows the wallpaper to merge smoothly into the wider room architecture. Deep ochre, dusty rose, or burnt terracotta also make striking accent colours in smaller decorative pieces.
