Wallpaper - Motley Grass

Our Motley Grass wallpaper brings botanical depth to a room through layered watercolour-style foliage rooted along the lower half of the wall. Illustrated with broad, gently striped leaves, subtle reddish stems, and tiny accents of vivid blue blossoms, the composition rises from a dense verdant foreground into softer, translucent leaf silhouettes against a quiet, pale textured ground. Because the visual weight remains along the bottom while the upper section stays open and airy, the mural grounds the space without overwhelming it. Our wallpapers are made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We especially like how the bottom-weighted composition of this mural works in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. Because the lush foliage grows upwards from the skirting board, furniture such as low sofas, sideboards, or a low-profile bed frame nestles naturally against the botanicals, leaving the calm upper wall clear. On a wide feature wall, the varying leaf shapes and layered greens create a gentle horizontal rhythm that draws the eye across the room. The lighter, atmospheric background keeps taller walls feeling bright and open, making this design easy to live with across larger spaces.

Styling it

To complement the organic character of the illustration, we would pair this design with simple furniture lines and natural textures. Low-slung seating in tactile oatmeal upholstery or unbleached woven fabrics lets the layered green tones remain the visual focus of the room. Warm, pale wood tones work beautifully alongside the earthy greens, while small accents of matte black metal or stoneware can echo the fine details of the foliage. Keeping surrounding wall art minimal allows the open upper portion of the wall mural to breathe, preserving an uncluttered and tranquil atmosphere.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres around rich fern, sage, and deep olive greens, balanced by the cool, misty neutral of the upper background and tiny pinpricks of bright cornflower blue. For adjacent walls and painted woodwork, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone tones create a seamless, harmonious transition. If you want to lean into a richer palette, deep moss green or warm taupe on surrounding surfaces will pick up the darker undertones of the botanical leaves.
