Wallpaper - Shielded Leaf Green

Our Shielded Leaf Green wallpaper, designed by Tanja Smedh, brings together a dense, symmetrical motif of curving foliage against a deep forest green ground. The ornate, swirling leaves feature detailed veining and ink-drawn character, creating a rich visual rhythm inspired by Art Nouveau and heritage decorative patterns. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the balance between botanical movement and structured symmetry, giving the lush green palette depth without feeling chaotic. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and is completely PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room or library, this design creates a grounded, enveloping atmosphere across a main feature wall or behind a sofa. The structured symmetry of the foliage pattern allows it to hold a room with confidence, working particularly well on wider, uninterrupted wall areas where the full sweep of the leaves can repeat naturally. In a study or home office, we like how the darker forest green tones create a focused, collected backdrop that frames shelving and desks without overwhelming the room. In spaces with generous daylight, the tonal contrasts between the lighter leaf detailing and the dark backdrop become especially vivid, while softer evening lighting brings out the rich, moody character of the darker greens.

Styling it

Because the botanical pattern has an ornate, heritage quality, we recommend pairing it with classic interior elements that mirror its organic geometry:

• Choose warm, darker woods like walnut or mid-toned oak for furniture and shelving, which sit naturally against the deep green palette without competing with the leaf motifs.
• Incorporate muted brass or antique bronze accents in lamps, hardware, or picture frames to pick up the warm undertones of the design and introduce subtle contrast.
• Balance the visual density of the foliage with solid, unpatterned upholstery in textured fabrics such as woven wool or velvet, letting the wall murals carry the visual interest.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a rich palette of deep forest green, earthy olive, and lighter leafy tones. When planning your surrounding room colours, we suggest leaning into complementary earthy neutrals or deep, tonal shades. Deep moss, muted charcoal, or warm ochre work beautifully on adjacent architectural details, trim, or larger furniture pieces. For a lighter contrast, warm stone, off-white, or soft linen greys prevent the dark green backdrop from feeling too enclosed while maintaining a cohesive, natural scheme.
