Wallpaper - Picking Olives

Our Picking Olives wallpaper captures a harvest scene up close, pairing a traditional light wooden rake with a rich mound of freshly gathered olives. Photographed by Tono Balaguer, the composition brings together glossy fruit in shades of green, purple, and black against the weathered surface of the wood, with olive leaves adding fine visual detail throughout. The close crop gives the photographic motif an immediate, grounded presence across the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a warm, rustic character to kitchen and dining spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a kitchen, dining room, or dedicated breakfast area where food and gathering naturally take centre stage. Because the photographic motif is closely framed and rich in detail, it works brilliantly on an accent wall behind a dining table, along a pantry wall, or across a wider uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be appreciated from a few steps back. In an open-plan kitchen and living space, our wall murals like this one help anchor the cooking or eating zone, creating a distinct visual destination without overwhelming the wider room.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, Mediterranean feel of the wallpaper, we would pair it with natural, understated interior elements. Warm-toned timber furniture, such as an aged farmhouse dining table or simple wooden shelving, echoes the grain of the rake in the image. Keep surrounding hardware and lighting relatively simple, opting for aged brass, muted black iron, or matte ceramic accents that sit comfortably alongside the organic tones. Smooth plaster walls or natural linen tableware provide a quiet, tactile backdrop that lets the rich depth of the photographic print stand out.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centres on deep purple, earthy olive greens, black, and warm wooden tones. To build a balanced scheme around it, we suggest drawing on warm neutrals such as soft stone, chalky cream, or muted biscuit on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents in your cabinetry or textiles, rich forest green, aubergine, or warm terracotta connect naturally with the harvested fruit in the pattern.
