Wallpaper - Block Print Water Lily Stripes, Duck Egg

Our Block Print Water Lily Stripes wallpaper in Duck Egg, created by RNM Arts, brings a refined botanical rhythm to interior spaces. We particularly like how the design balances the hand-stamped character of traditional block printing with an elegant, symmetrical vertical repeat. Stylised water lily blooms, buds, and floating pads fan out gracefully along central vertical axes, set against a calm duck egg backdrop with delicate woven-like visual texture. Printed to your specific wall dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper offers a tranquil, timeless presence across any wall surface.

In the room

The vertical alignment of the water lily motifs gives this wallpaper an uplifting, architectural quality that works wonderfully across both classic and modern residential spaces. In a bedroom or guest room, we love how the rhythmic pattern can serve as a calming backdrop behind a bedhead, bringing visual height and gentle order without overwhelming the space.

Because the repeat is balanced and tonal, our design adapts comfortably across all four walls in a dining room, dressing room, or hallway where you want an enveloping, considered atmosphere. In a sitting room or study, the subtle verticality and soft duck egg tone help create an inviting sense of quiet enclosure, particularly in rooms with generous natural daylight where the fine linework can truly shine.

Styling it

The Arts and Crafts sensibility of the block-printed floral motif makes it exceptionally versatile to style. We recommend pairing this design with natural materials that echo its organic lines and understated elegance:

• Furniture in warm mid-toned woods, such as walnut, warm oak, or fruitwood, creates a grounded contrast against the cool-toned duck egg ground.
• Soft linen and textured wool upholstery in oat, biscuit, or muted cream tones keep the overall room calm and tactile.
• Simple, classic architectural mouldings, painted cabinetry, or antiqued brass hardware complement the period-inspired symmetry of the water lily motifs without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper rests on a serene duck egg ground layered with muted sage and deep seafoam linework. When selecting surrounding colours for trim, woodwork, and adjacent walls, we suggest leaning into soft off-whites with neutral or slight chalky undertones, such as antique white or pale stone, which frame the design cleanly.

If you prefer a richer, more tonal palette, deep forest greens, muted olive, or slate blues pick up the darker elements in the botanical print and create a striking, sophisticated contrast on skirting boards or interior doors. For soft furnishings, warm neutrals, faded terracotta accents, and heather tones introduce an appealing balance of warmth against the cool aquatic greens.
