Wallpaper - Sous-Bois

Our Sous-Bois wallpaper brings the quiet depth of a woodland clearing into your interior, based on artwork by Paul Cézanne. Tall, slender tree trunks curve upward across the scene, their leafy canopy rendered in soft greens and pale yellows with subtle touches of warm ochre and earthy brown. Glimpses of pale blue sky show through the foliage, while the dappled ground carries the visible brushstroke character of fine Impressionist painting. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition has vertical movement and an open, painterly feel, we especially like this design on a main wall in a living room, dining room or bedroom. In a larger living space, giving the mural wallpaper a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full height of the trees and the light between the branches to establish the mood of the room. In a dining room or home study, the natural forest perspective creates an enveloping backdrop that sits comfortably behind low-backed seating or a writing desk without feeling crowded.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded so the fine brushwork and forest canopy remain the main visual focus.

• Pair with warm, natural wood tones such as oak or mid-toned timber, which echo the earthy hues of the forest floor.
• Choose understated, solid upholstery in soft ecru, muted stone or deep moss green rather than competing patterns.
• Incorporate simple lighting with warm-toned bulbs to enhance the gentle contrast between the shaded undergrowth and sunlit leaves.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on leafy greens, earthy browns and soft yellows, balanced by delicate hints of sky blue. For adjacent painted walls, skirting boards and architectural trim, we suggest quiet off-whites, warm stone, or a muted sage green drawn from the canopy. If you prefer a richer contrast in a dining room or library, a deeper forest green or warm bark brown on neighbouring woodwork anchors the palette handsomely.
