Wallpaper - Paisley Universe

Our Paisley Universe wallpaper brings an expressive, layered take on classic boteh motifs, created by artist Danhui Nai. Swirling teardrop forms, painted floral medallions, and scattered blooms float across an atmospheric ground of mossy fern green, washed terracotta, and muted teal. The composition carries a painterly watercolour look with visible brushwork and rhythmic linework that gives the pattern an energetic, whimsical presence. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design features a subtle structure in the paper that complements its artistic character.

In the room

Because of its vibrant detail and layered composition, we love seeing this design on a main feature wall where its swirling motion can unfold without feeling cramped. It works wonderfully in creative spaces such as a home art studio, a dedicated meditation room, or an eclectic living room. In a bedroom, placing this wallpaper behind the headboard grounds the energetic motif while leaving adjacent walls quiet. If you are decorating a room with generous ceiling height, the sweeping curves of the paisley elements draw the eye upwards and add wonderful visual interest to the vertical expanse.

Styling it

To balance the detailed painterly pattern, we suggest pairing this wall mural with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Mid-century shapes or low-profile modern seating keep the focus on the artwork without visual clutter. Natural, warm wood tones such as teak or vintage walnut harmonise effortlessly with the earthy green and rust undertones in the print. When introducing textiles, choose solid colours rather than competing prints; smooth woven wools, plain linens, or simple velvet cushions in warm mustard, ochre, or burnt orange draw out the richer accents in the wallpaper while keeping the overall room calm and cohesive.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built on a rich foundation of fern green, teal, and dusty turquoise, punctuated by warm notes of orange, soft coral, yellow, and deep brick red. When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in joinery, a muted moss green or warm sage creates an enveloping, nature-inspired feel. For a lighter contrast, a warm linen white or soft biscuit tone reflects daylight and lets the vibrant motif take centre stage. If you prefer a moodier, eclectic look, deep terracotta or dark olive trim highlights the painting's warmest base tones.
