Wallpaper - Almost There

Created by Danhui Nai, our Almost There wallpaper pairs expressive botanical brushwork with a deep, grounded mocha backdrop. Two generous clusters of foliage frame the composition from the sides, creating a natural visual archway with open, quiet space through the centre. The leaves are rendered with a painted look in muted earthy tones, blending cool stone greys, soft taupe, and pale chalky tints against deeper umber and charcoal shadows. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, this design brings a serene, artful presence to any interior wall while remaining subtle and easy to hang.

In the room

We see Almost There working particularly well in a bedroom or a focused home office where its calm, enveloping palette can set the tone of the space. Placed on a feature wall behind a bed frame or directly behind a desk, the twin clusters of leaves naturally frame lower furniture, allowing the central background to breathe without feeling crowded. In a larger living room with generous natural light, the subtle shifts between the pale grey leaf highlights and the warm mocha background become especially clear. Because the visual weight gathers towards the flanks of the composition, it suits wider, uninterrupted wall areas where the full balance of the artwork remains visible.

Styling it

The painterly texture and organic modern character of this wallpaper call for an interior that balances soft materiality with clean, grounded shapes. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively quiet in form, choosing low-profile pieces that allow the expressive leaves to remain the main visual focus of the room.

To complement the earthy mocha base, we suggest pairing the wall mural with warm wood tones, such as smoked oak or natural walnut, alongside tactile upholstery in textured boucle or soft woven wool. Simple blackened metal accents on table lamps or shelving frames can echo the deeper charcoal leaf silhouettes, tying the room together without competing with the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a sophisticated range of earthy shades: a rich mocha-brown backdrop layered with soft taupe, chalky off-white, muted grey-blue, and deep charcoal shadows.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, we recommend drawing directly from these quieter tones:

• Soft chalky greys or warm stone shades on adjacent walls will keep the room bright while echoing the lighter leaf strokes.
• Deep taupe or muted mushroom tones on skirtings and door frames create a subtle, tonal transition that feels deliberate and cohesive.
• Charcoal or espresso accents on smaller details provide sharp, modern contrast against the softer background.
