Wallpaper - Reeds on the Ley V

Created by Deborah Revell, our Reeds on the Ley V wallpaper captures the quiet atmosphere of coastal grasses silhouetted against an open sky. Slender reeds and delicate seed heads rise from the base in fine, sketch-like strokes, set over broad washes of sky blue, soft snow white, and subtle touches of pink. The composition offers generous visual breathing room, with most of the fine botanical detail anchoring the lower half of the wall while the upper area opens into a gentle wash of colour. Custom-made to your measurements, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle paper structure that gives each design a refined, natural presence.

In the room

The airy composition of this design makes it particularly versatile across different interior spaces. Because the visual weight is concentrated towards the bottom, we see this working exceptionally well as a bedroom feature wall behind a low bedhead, where the delicate stems can rise naturally into view. It is equally suited to a quiet meditation room or a reading corner where a light, restrained backdrop helps create an uncluttered, open feeling.

In rooms with lower ceilings or smaller proportions, the vertical movement of the grasses draws the eye upward, while the bright white and soft blue backdrop prevents the space from feeling enclosed. On wider, uninterrupted walls, the full horizontal span allows the rhythmic spacing of the stems to display without feeling crowded by bulky furniture.

Styling it

To complement the delicate line work and painterly backdrop of this design, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings simple and grounded. Organic modern furniture with clean profiles works harmoniously here, avoiding heavy ornamentation that might compete with the fine grass stems.

Lighter wood tones, such as pale ash, bleached oak, or birch, pair beautifully with the natural theme without adding too much visual weight. For soft furnishings, unbleached cottons and textured woven fabrics in off-white or soft grey help carry the airy character of the mural wallpapers throughout the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is rooted in snow white and soft sky blue, with charcoal-toned stems and faint accents of warm pink scattered across the background.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and large furnishings, we suggest building on these light, cool-toned foundations:

• Crisp chalk white or soft snow white on adjacent walls keeps the room feeling bright and cohesive.
• Muted slate grey or soft charcoal on skirting boards or accent pieces echoes the fine line work of the reeds.
• Pale cornflower blue or misty grey-blue on textiles brings out the subtle watercolour washes in the sky.
• Subtle blush or dusty rose accents in cushions or ceramics pick up on the delicate pink flecks in the artwork.
