Wallpaper - Rushes I

Our Rushes I wallpaper by Deborah Revell brings together soft, feathery pampas grass and delicate reeds rising against an open sky-blue and white backdrop. We particularly like how the fine, light brown stems and pale beige plumes create an airy sense of vertical movement, balanced by subtle, painterly brushstroke textures in the background. The gentle contrast between the warm botanical tones and the cool sky background gives the design an open, tranquil character. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a bedroom, we see this working exceptionally well on a main wall behind the headboard, where the upward sweep of the grasses draws the eye up without overwhelming the space. The open sky-toned background gives walls a lighter, more expansive visual feel, making it equally fitting for a calm meditation space, a dedicated reading corner, or a serene guest bedroom. Because the motif is concentrated towards the lower and mid sections with generous breathing space above, it accommodates lower furniture effortlessly while preserving the full grace of the composition.

Styling it

We would take inspiration from organic modern interiors when styling around this design. The botanical subject and light palette pair naturally with pale, warm wood furniture such as natural ash or bleached oak, which echoes the soft tones of the rushes. To maintain the light, serene mood of the mural wallpapers, we suggest keeping surrounding upholstery in unbleached neutral fabrics and choosing simple, understated silhouettes that let the expressive brushwork remain the central focal point.

Colour combinations

The design centres on soft sky blue, off-white, warm beige, and light earthy brown. For adjacent walls and trim, a soft chalky white or an airy, pale linen tone will extend the mural's natural brightness around the room. If you prefer to draw out the background palette, a very muted duck-egg or pale sky blue on adjacent surfaces creates a gentle, enveloping atmosphere. For accent pieces, soft sand tones and warm light browns tie directly into the delicate plumes of the grass.
