Wallpaper - Simple Vessels I

Our Simple Vessels I wallpaper, created by Danhui Nai, brings together a quiet collection of ceramic forms arranged against a soft smokey blue-grey background. The composition features seven distinct vases in varied silhouettes and earthy tones, spanning deep black, warm brown, muted pink, dark green, and light blue. Slender olive branches and tiny white floral stems emerge from select vessels, introducing a gentle botanical note to the clean, illustrative still life. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a tranquil focal point suited to a dining room or living room.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a dining room, placed along an uninterrupted wall where the horizontal rhythm of the vessels can stretch out naturally beside a dining table. The calm, composed balance of the still life also suits a main living room, particularly on a feature wall behind lower seating where the forms remain in clear view. Because the background is a soft, muted grey with blue undertones, the wallpaper provides visual interest without dominating the entire space, making it easy to live with across larger wall areas.

Styling it

For an organic modern or contemporary interior, we would pair this wallpaper with low-profile furniture and natural surfaces that echo its earthy palette. Dark wood or warm oak dining furniture complements the deeper tones in the vessels, while ceramics with simple, unglazed finishes help tie the still life theme into the wider room. Keeping surrounding decorative pieces minimal ensures the artwork retains its quiet, graphic impact on the wall.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a smokey grey base, accented by black, brown, dusky pink, deep green, and pale blue. To create a cohesive palette, we suggest surrounding the wallpaper with off-white, soft pebble grey, or muted taupe on adjacent walls and woodwork. For a richer accent, deep forest green or charcoal drawn from the darker vases can be echoed in dining chairs, soft upholstery, or picture frames.
