Wallpaper - Fleural Stems II

Created by Haley Knighten, our Fleural Stems II wallpaper pairs sweeping, botanical-inspired forms with an expressive painted texture. Arching fronds that recall leaves or plumage stretch across a deep, shadowed background in layered tones of sienna, burnt orange, ochre, dark forest green and subtle hints of dusky red. The visible brushstrokes and canvas-like visual texture give the composition genuine artistic depth and organic movement, allowing the warm, earthy highlights to stand out with striking contrast. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings a bold, nature-inspired focal point to contemporary interiors.

In the room

In a living room or dedicated creative studio, we would place this design on a generous, uninterrupted feature wall where the sweeping reach of the fronds can unfold without visual interruption. The rich, low-contrast background gives the room an intimate, enveloping atmosphere, while the dynamic diagonal flow draws the eye naturally across the space. Because the motif is bold and painterly, it works especially well behind a low sofa or credenza that keeps the upper two-thirds of the wall clear. Under soft, warm evening lighting, the sienna and ochre tones gain a cosy glow, making the space feel grounded and welcoming.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, organic movement of the motif, we would pair this wallpaper with clean-lined furniture and tactile natural materials. Minimalist pieces in blackened metal or mid-toned wood such as walnut keep the focus on the artwork without competing with its painterly brushwork. Incorporating understated upholstery in warm oatmeal or charcoal adds softness, while simple ceramic accents in matte terracotta or moss green subtly echo the design’s botanical character.

Colour combinations

The design itself is anchored by a dark, near-black backdrop layered with earthy sienna, burnt ochre, moss green, muted olive and dusty red. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork or larger furnishings, we suggest exploring:

• Warm off-whites and soft taupe to provide a light, balancing contrast on adjacent walls.
• Deep olive or forest green on architraves and skirting boards to seamlessly extend the moody botanical tones.
• Burnt orange, rust, or deep terracotta textiles to accentuate the warm painterly highlights in the leaves.
