Wallpaper - Ancient Groves

Our Ancient Groves wallpaper, captured by photographer Dan Merkel, brings the lush depth of an old-growth woodland into the home. Towering, moss-draped trees and vibrant green ferns create an immersive canopy above an earthy forest floor, rich in natural detail and layered green tones. The panoramic perspective gives the photographic motif a calm, expansive presence that draws the eye into the scenery. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design is tailored to fit your wall dimensions with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

Because of the rich visual depth and horizontal span of the photograph, we see this design working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a dedicated library, reading nook, or meditation space, the dense greenery provides an enveloping backdrop that sets a grounded, tranquil atmosphere.

The vertical movement of the ancient tree trunks suits rooms with standard or higher ceilings, allowing the canopy and forest floor to be appreciated in full balance. If you are placing furniture against the wall, lower profiles such as low-back sofas, low shelving, or simple bench seating help keep the panoramic depth visible across the room.

Styling it

When styling around such a detailed nature scene, we like to keep surrounding shapes and surfaces relatively simple so the wall mural remains the focal point. Low-sheen finishes and organic textures feel right at home alongside the forest scenery.

Warm timber furniture in oak, ash, or walnut sits naturally against the mossy undertones of the print. To balance the intricate foliage, choose smooth woollen upholstery, muted linen drapery, or plain matte ceramics rather than competing patterns. Underfoot, plain woven rugs in natural jute or undyed wool help anchor the room without distracting from the photographic detail.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is defined by deep forest greens, vibrant fern tones, and rich earthy browns along the tree trunks and forest floor.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing the mural with soft surrounding wall colours that do not fight the greenery. Muted lichen greens, warm chalky stones, or gentle off-whites on adjacent walls and trim allow the deep tones of the trees to stand out naturally. For upholstery or cabinetry, deeper shades like dark moss, peat brown, or charcoal create a grounded contrast that echoes the shadowy undertones of the grove.
