Wallpaper - Fern Layers

Our Fern Layers wallpaper captures the intricate structure and organic depth of overlapping woodland fronds, photographed by Alan Majchrowicz. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between sharp botanical detail in the foreground leaves and the soft, shadowed tones beneath, creating a rich sense of layering. The palette centres on deep forest greens, muted sage, and earthy moss tones, giving the composition a calm, natural rhythm across the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a tranquil botanical character into the home.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully on a feature wall in a living room, especially behind a low-backed sofa where the upper spread of the fronds remains fully visible. Because the scale of the botanical photography is bold and close-up, it thrives when given a generous, uninterrupted wall space so the branching stems and delicate leaf edges have room to breathe.

In a bathroom or a dedicated meditation corner, the deep green palette creates an enveloping, quiet atmosphere. For smaller spaces, we recommend keeping the motif to a single accent wall, allowing the dense foliage to anchor the room without overwhelming the surrounding perimeter.

Styling it

Because the botanical imagery carries substantial visual detail and depth, we prefer to keep the surrounding furnishings relatively understated. Clean-lined contemporary pieces or Scandinavian-inspired furniture allow the natural pattern to remain the primary focus of the interior.

To complement the woodland tones, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with light or medium natural woods such as ash or pale oak, which echo the organic feel of the motif. Matte black metal accents or muted ceramic fixtures work well to ground the space, adding a crisp, modern contrast to the soft leaf silhouettes.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a range of authentic greens, from vibrant fern and sage highlights to deep, shadowy forest greens and dark charcoal-tinted undertones.

When decorating adjacent walls or choosing joinery, we suggest working with soft, warm off-whites, gentle stone greys, or muted olive tones drawn directly from the leaves. If you prefer a more dramatic, immersive scheme, a deep botanical green on neighbouring woodwork and skirting boards creates a cohesive, wrap-around effect.
