Wallpaper - Ancient Trails

Our Ancient Trails wallpaper mural captures a lush, ancient temperate rainforest photographed by James Schwabel, where towering moss-draped tree trunks rise from a vibrant undergrowth of wild ferns and soft mossy groundcover. The expansive panoramic composition draws the eye deep between tall vertical trunks, while rich fern greens, mossy tones, and warm bark browns create an immersive woodland scene. Made to measure for your exact wall dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper structure and brings a peaceful, nature-led focal point to any interior.

In the room

We see this expansive photographic mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, where the panoramic depth can open up the room. The strong vertical lines of the tall trees also make it well suited to rooms with higher ceilings, drawing the eye upward and accentuating height. In a quiet meditation room or a restful corner of a holiday home, the continuous greenery creates an enveloping, tranquil atmosphere. Because the lower foreground is dense with ferns and forest floor detail, we suggest keeping low-profile seating or open-legged furniture along the base so the scene remains largely visible.

Styling it

To balance the detailed visual texture of the forest undergrowth, we would pair our mural wallpapers with simple, understated furniture shapes rather than heavily ornate pieces. Contemporary Scandinavian-inspired silhouettes in light woods like pale birch or ash create an organic connection with the woodland subject without competing for visual attention.

Textiles in muted, unpatterned fabrics help keep the surrounding space grounded and airy. Matte black metal accents or quiet dark brown details on table bases and floor lamps can pick up on the deep vertical lines of the tree bark, giving the overall interior a cohesive and structured feel.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper revolves around vibrant fern green, deep moss tones, and soft olive, grounded by earthy bark browns and subtle shadowed greens. Around this design, we recommend keeping adjacent walls in soft off-whites, warm pale stone, or light putty tones that allow the deep green mural to stand out naturally. For upholstery or larger rugs, warm neutrals, soft oatmeal, or muted ochre accents complement the earthy forest floor without overwhelming the room.
