Wallpaper - Emerald Sanctuary

Our Emerald Sanctuary wallpaper brings the quiet depth of a woodland clearing indoors. Captured by Neil Gilchrist, the photographic design layers slender tree trunks with light and dark bark against a lush forest floor carpeted in thick moss, ferns, and scattered fallen branches. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, highlighting the rich fern green tones and creating a grounded, immersive visual atmosphere. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

In a living room, we would place this design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full vertical reach of the trees and the deep perspective of the forest floor have room to unfold. It works exceptionally well behind a low-backed sofa or along a main feature wall where the visual layers can draw the eye into the scene. For a study or a dedicated reading and meditation space, the earthy greens and natural woodland textures introduce an immersive, grounding backdrop that helps the room feel tucked away and enclosed.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the rich visual detail of the forest motif with relatively calm, simple interior elements:

• Pair the woodland scenery with warm, unvarnished natural timber furniture, such as oak or ash, to complement the organic tones of the tree bark.
• Choose larger upholstered pieces in textured neutrals like stone, oatmeal, or unbleached linen to let the deep fern greens take centre stage.
• Keep accent decorations understated and tactile, using matte stoneware, terracotta planters, or simple blackened metal details that echo the shaded woodland floor.

Colour combinations

The design is built around rich fern green, deep forest moss, and warm earthy barks, accented by pale canopy highlights. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and ceilings, we suggest leaning into soft off-whites, warm chalky stones, or pale lichen greens to keep the room feeling open. Alternatively, pairing the mural wallpapers with adjacent walls painted in a deep olive, slate, or muted peat tone creates a cosy, enveloping space that embraces the darker depths of the woodland palette.
