Wallpaper - Follow the Path

Our Follow the Path wallpaper mural brings the immersive atmosphere of an ancient rainforest into the home, captured by photographer Dan Merkel. The scene opens with a winding dirt footpath cutting through a lush carpet of vibrant green ferns, leading beneath towering trees draped in thick Spanish moss and hanging lichen. Filtered golden daylight drifts through the upper canopy, creating an intricate play of light across the forest floor and deep woodland shadows. Printed as a made-to-measure design on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an expansive visual depth across larger spaces while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition has such strong scenic perspective, we see this working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the path has room to guide the eye into the distance. In a living room or a dedicated home library, placing the mural on a main feature wall behind low-profile seating keeps the detailed lower foliage and footpath fully visible. In a tranquil bedroom, positioning the design behind the headboard wraps the space in rich greenery without feeling enclosed, as the brighter upper canopy lifts the vertical proportion of the room. It also suits a quiet meditation space, where the natural woodland depth and soft light balance the room naturally.

Styling it

With such a rich and dense natural motif, we would keep the surrounding furniture quiet and grounded. Clean-lined pieces made from dark or mid-toned woods echo the bark and earthy tones of the tree trunks without competing with the detailed greenery. Simple upholstery in muted charcoal, warm stone, or off-white lets the landscape serve as the primary visual focus. We would avoid heavily patterned textiles or busy shelving across the wall itself, opting instead for minimal floor-standing decor or a low credenza that leaves the panoramic vista open.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a rich spectrum of mossy greens, bright fern, deep forest shadows, and soft earthy path tones, with accents of warm amber where light breaks through the foliage. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing adjacent walls and woodwork with soft off-white, warm stone grey, or pale moss. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping scheme in a library or bedroom, deep evergreen or muted peat brown on the surrounding architraves and skirting creates a seamless transition into the woodland palette.
