Wallpaper - Is It Spring Yet

Our Is It Spring Yet wallpaper, created by Nathan Larson, centres on a single slender pussy willow branch arched gently against an expansive, smooth smoke grey backdrop. The photographic composition balances generous negative space with the fine, tactile detail of soft silvery catkins and warm brown woody stem nodes. Its quiet, minimalist presence brings an Asian Zen and Japandi aesthetic to life, giving walls a serene, contemplative feel. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers provide an understated, refined feature for contemporary interiors.

In the room

We especially like this design for spaces where visual stillness is essential, such as a bedroom or dedicated meditation room. Because the motif is defined by a single horizontal arch surrounded by generous neutral space, it works best across a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full curve of the branch can breathe without being crowded.

In a bedroom, positioning the branch across the wall behind a low headboard creates an anchor that feels grounding rather than busy. The soft tonal gradient of the grey background shifts gracefully with changing ambient daylight, maintaining a calm, tranquil atmosphere throughout the day and under softer evening lamps.

Styling it

The minimalist nature of this design invites an uncluttered approach with clean lines and authentic materials. We would pair it with low-profile furniture in light or warm wood, such as ash or natural oak, to complement the organic tones in the willow branch. Keeping surrounding surfaces quiet allows the subtle photographic clarity of the branch to remain the focal point. To preserve the calm visual balance, choose textiles in unpatterned weaves such as wool or washed cotton in pale pebble, charcoal, or chalk white.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a soft smoky grey gradient backdrop alongside the natural silver-white and deep woody brown of the willow branch.

To build a cohesive palette around it, consider adjacent walls or woodwork in soft off-white, light cool grey, or warm stone. For deeper accent notes in furniture or architectural trim, charcoal or deep espresso brown will pick up on the darker tones of the branch buds, grounding the room while preserving its quiet, balanced aesthetic.
