Wallpaper - Simple Sprigs of Basil

Delicate white ink-style line drawings of basil sprigs trail across a softly textured smokey grey backdrop in our Simple Sprigs of Basil wallpaper. Designed by Yvette St. Amant, the motif pairs fine botanical outlines with a brushstroke-textured background, creating a calm, abstract rhythm across the surface. What we particularly like about this design is how the open spacing allows the subtle grey tones to breathe, making it a versatile choice for modern and organic minimalist interiors. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a gentle, nature-inspired focal point without overwhelming the room.

In the room

In a bedroom, we see this working especially well on the wall behind the headboard, where the flowing leafy vines establish a calm and restful backdrop. Because the pattern relies on light, delicate line work against a neutral smokey grey ground rather than dense, high-contrast shapes, it also sits comfortably across larger uninterrupted walls in a living room. If you are decorating a home office, placing this wallpaper along the main working wall introduces a quiet botanical element that remains understated in everyday light.

Styling it

The organic line work and smokey grey palette naturally suit contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired spaces. We would pair this design with clean-lined furniture in natural pale wood or painted off-white finishes, keeping the surrounding silhouettes simple so the delicate linework remains the primary focus. For fabrics, unbleached linen curtains or lightly textured wool cushions complement the hand-drawn visual character of the backdrop without introducing competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on soft smokey greys, muted neutral undertones, and clean white botanical line work. To create a cohesive look around the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with warm off-whites, pale chalky greys, or muted charcoal accents on adjacent woodwork and painted walls. If you want to introduce subtle contrast, deeper slate tones or soft earthy neutrals on upholstery and cabinetry help anchor the lightness of the white sprigs.
