Wallpaper - Reaching For the Sun

In this wallpaper, created by Imary, finely detailed botanical engravings stretch upwards against a soft watercolour wash of pastel pink, lilac, and warm peach tones. The composition features slender vertical stems with delicate blossoms and layered foliage, evoking the nostalgic feel of vintage botanical studies and block prints. What we particularly like is the balance between the precise dark line work in the foreground and the ethereal, semi-transparent floral silhouettes layered behind. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our mural wallpapers bring an artistic and tranquil presence to interior walls.

In the room

Because the botanical stems carry a strong vertical movement, we find this design works exceptionally well on taller walls or in rooms where you want to draw the eye upwards. In a bedroom, placing this wallpaper behind the headboard creates an enveloping and dreamy focal point without feeling visually overwhelming. We also see it working beautifully across a primary wall in a living room, library, or dedicated meditation space. In rooms with generous daylight, the delicate shifts between the pastel washes and the crisp botanical illustrations become especially captivating.

Styling it

To complement the romantic and heritage character of the artwork, we suggest pairing it with gentle, unpretentious interior elements. Furniture in light-toned woods or soft painted finishes helps preserve the airy, tranquil mood of the design. Upholstery and cushions in quiet woven textiles, such as washed cotton or textured wool in cream, oatmeal, or subtle mauve, echo the delicate floral themes without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a luminous background of soft peach, pale cream, and washes of lilac, contrasted with charcoal and sepia botanical line drawings. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, we recommend pulling from these gentle undertones. Warm off-whites and creamy ivories offer a seamless, understated transition. If you prefer subtle colour on adjacent trim, a dusty rose, muted lavender, or soft sand tone will highlight the painterly watercolour elements while keeping the room refined and balanced.
