Wallpaper - Joyful Leaves

Our Joyful Leaves wallpaper brings together botanical stillness and expressive modern art. Designed by Courtney Prahl, the motif centres on a white vase with a textured surface holding delicate green leaves highlighted by yellow accents. Behind the vase, a soft blue and white grid creates a structured backdrop, grounded at the base by layered abstract brushstrokes in blue and turquoise. What we particularly appreciate is how the clean geometric background balances the fluid, painterly elements, giving the design a calm yet vibrant character. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an artful presence to contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because the composition functions as a painterly still life, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an open feature wall where the balance between the vase and the surrounding negative space can be fully appreciated. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or media console keeps the lower brushstrokes visible while allowing the delicate foliage to rise up the wall.

In a bedroom, we like using this design behind the headboard to set a composed, artistic tone. The structured grid pattern also makes it an engaging choice for a hallway or staircase wall, where the interplay of cool tones and leafy details can be enjoyed as you move through the home.

Styling it

The combination of organic forms and geometric structure gives you plenty of flexibility when decorating around our wallpaper. We recommend pairing it with furniture that echoes its clean lines and artistic sensibility.

To let the design remain the focal point, choose seating and storage pieces with simple silhouettes and modest visual weight. Painted wooden furniture in soft white, pale grey, or muted blue complements the cool backdrop nicely, while mid-toned woods can introduce a gentle natural warmth without competing with the greens. For surrounding textiles, plain woven fabrics in ivory, oatmeal, or muted teal keep the room cohesive while letting the abstract details stand out.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on soft sky blue, white, and turquoise brushwork, balanced by jade green leaves and gentle yellow highlights.

When choosing surrounding wall colours or cabinetry, off-whites and pale cool greys create a crisp, airy setting that lets the motif breathe. If you prefer deeper contrast, muted navy, slate blue, or soft forest green drawn from the leafy stems will ground the room beautifully. For smaller decorative accents, subtle touches of ochre or mustard yellow will naturally pick up the warm details in the foliage.
