Wallpaper - Among The Trees

Created by Morgan Birch, this contemporary wallpaper design presents an expressive portrait framed by dense foliage and cool tones. A central figure is enveloped by sage green leaves against a layered blue backdrop, blending paint-drawn texture with a subtle nod to 1920s portraiture. The striking composition gives our mural wallpapers a distinct visual identity, working as a bold focal point across an entire room. Produced as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, the design is straightforward to hang and brings an artistic presence to interior walls.

In the room

Because of the portrait's scale and focal strength, we see this wallpaper working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the central figure and surrounding foliage remain unobstructed. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa lets the upper composition and expressive foliage frame the seating area naturally. In a bedroom, installing it behind the bedhead creates an immediate visual anchor without overwhelming the space.

The cool palette of deep blues and soft greens also lends itself to smaller or more transitional areas of the home. In a dining room, home office, or entry, the rich backdrop creates an intimate, curated atmosphere. For powder rooms or guest rooms, wrapping the design across a prominent wall gives the room an instant gallery-like character while maintaining a balanced, restful tone.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest keeping adjacent furnishings relatively grounded to let the artwork take centre stage. Clean, contemporary silhouettes work well to echo the modern paint-drawing style, while warm elements help balance the cooler palette.

Warm wood furniture, such as walnut or rich teak, provides an inviting contrast to the deep blue and sage tones. To complement the painterly aesthetic, pair the wallpaper with matte ceramic accents, simple textured upholstery, or brushed brass hardware that picks up on the warmer skin tones within the portrait. Keeping surrounding patterns minimal ensures the wall mural remains the distinct centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The motif is defined by a cool harmony of layered blues, crisp sage green foliage, and warm, neutral skin tones.

To create a cohesive scheme, pull out the sage green from the leaves for painted woodwork, panelling, or interior doors. Pairing the wallpaper with soft off-whites or pale grey-blues on adjacent walls keeps the room bright while maintaining tonal continuity. If you prefer a bolder, more cocooning look, deep navy or slate blue paint on neighbouring surfaces will seamlessly extend the rich background tones throughout the space.
