Wallpaper - Big Leaf II

Our Big Leaf II wallpaper by artist Chris Paschke combines fluid black ink line drawings of overlapping foliage with soft watercolour washes in fern green, beige, and light grey. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the delicate graphic contours and the airy, organic ground, creating an expressive botanical composition with a contemporary feel. The open spacing and gentle tonal movement make the motif versatile across different wall sizes. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a living room, home office, or study where you want an artistic focal point that does not overwhelm the space. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, such as behind a sofa or a low desk, the sweeping lines of the leaves have ample room to unfold their natural rhythm. Because the background washes are muted and light, the pattern sits comfortably across larger surfaces while still bringing graphic clarity to the room. In rooms with steady natural daylight, the soft gradations between the fern green and warm beige washes become particularly nuanced.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern aesthetic of our mural wallpapers, we would pair Big Leaf II with furniture that mirrors its clean, fluid lines. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery lets the black line art stand out, while slim black metal accents echo the fine ink details in the print. Incorporating warm, light woods helps ground the earthy greens and beiges without competing with the openness of the motif.

Colour combinations

The design features a considered palette of soft fern green, warm beige, and pale grey, anchored by distinct black ink lines. To create a cohesive look across adjacent surfaces, we suggest drawing out the paler neutral tones for surrounding walls and woodwork, such as warm off-white or gentle stone. For larger furniture, darker charcoal accents or natural earthy greens tie in naturally with the watercolour washes.
