Wallpaper - Go New Orleans

Our Go New Orleans wallpaper by Steve Heap captures the historic architectural character of New Orleans through a detailed photographic study of a two-storey facade. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the ornate black wrought iron balconies with their floral patterns and the lively cascade of potted ferns spilling over the railings. The warm red brick backdrop contrasts naturally with traditional green shutters and white window frames, creating an inviting, nostalgic composition rooted in Southern heritage. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle structure in the paper, this design brings a rich sense of place and botanical detail to your interior.

In the room

We see this photographic mural wallpaper working especially well in an entryway, hallway, or living space where you want to create an architectural focal point with depth. Because the perspective showcases the full height of the two-storey building, placing our wallpaper on a taller or relatively uninterrupted wall allows the vertical rhythm of the ironwork and windows to be seen in full. In an entrance hall, it sets an immediate, welcoming tone that draws the eye inward, while in a dining area or lounge, the earthy brick and lush greenery provide a rich visual anchor behind seating.

Styling it

To complement the rich architectural narrative of this design, we suggest leaning into classic heritage or relaxed traditional styling:

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as dark timber, antique pieces, or mid-toned wooden consoles, which echo the historic 19th-century feel of the ironwork.
• Keep large upholstery and rugs relatively understated in texture and pattern, allowing the fine details of the wrought iron and cascading foliage to take centre stage.
• Introduce understated black metal accents, such as lighting frames or slim hardware, to tie directly into the dark balcony railings.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around deep earthy brick red, crisp fern green, deep black iron tones, and clean white accents. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend pairing adjacent walls with soft off-whites, warm stone, or muted earthy neutrals that let the central mural breathe. If you prefer a more enveloping look, bringing out the deep fern or moss green on woodwork and interior doors creates a tailored, heritage-inspired finish.
