Wallpaper - Old as Time

Photographed by Michael Marquand, our Old as Time wallpaper mural captures the untamed atmosphere of an ancient, moss-draped forest. Thick branches bend under layers of hanging moss, while lush ferns and fallen logs create rich depth across the forest floor. The composition balances deep mossy greens with softer earthy undertones, drawing the eye naturally toward the diffused light filtering through the woodland canopy. As with all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing an immersive nature scene directly into your interior.

In the room

Because of its rich detail and deep perspective, we see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a dedicated meditation room, art studio, or quiet home study, the expansive landscape adds a tranquil yet wild visual presence that grounds the space. Giving the mural an entire wall allows the intricate branch structures and canopy light to be seen in full without feeling crowded.

In rooms with steady natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between bright lichen greens and shadowy foliage become especially clear. For evening settings, softer ambient lamps will enhance the deeper, mysterious qualities of the forest backdrop.

Styling it

To let the complex organic detail of the mural lead the room, we suggest pairing it with clean, understated furnishings that do not compete for attention.

• Choose furniture in natural, warm woods or muted matte black to echo the organic tree trunks and branch silhouettes.
• Keep surrounding upholstery in simple, textured woven fabrics in warm grey, oatmeal, or muted forest tones.
• Minimise decorative clutter on the main wall so the full depth and perspective of the photography remain unobstructed.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by an organic palette of moss green, vibrant chartreuse highlights, earthy bark browns, and cool, muted forest greens. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and architectural woodwork, soft off-whites with a neutral or slightly warm base help keep the surrounding space bright and balanced. For a more enveloping, continuous scheme, deep foliage green or muted peat brown on adjacent surfaces will complement the darker tones along the woodland floor.
