Wallpaper - Dreaming of Africa

Our Dreaming of Africa wallpaper brings a quiet landscape onto the wall, depicting tall palm fronds and varied foliage against a backdrop of misty mountains and calm water. Painted in a soft watercolour style, the composition balances detailed foreground palms with distant hills in muted army greens, soft greys, and earthy brown tones. The painterly character gives the scenery an open, layered feel rather than a rigid graphic look. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, the design is straightforward to hang and adapts naturally to your wall dimensions.

In the room

We see this landscape working especially well across a main living room wall, where the wide horizontal vista has room to unfold without interruption. Because the composition carries depth from the foreground palms through to the misty mountains, giving it a broader wall lets the full scenic perspective open up the space. The restrained contrast and muted earthy green palette also mean the design can anchor a room without dominating it, making it equally fitting behind a sofa or along an accent wall in a sitting area or holiday home.

Styling it

The heritage character and watercolour texture naturally suit interiors that lean towards understated, classic, or colonial-inspired decor. We would pair this wallpaper with warm, mid-tone wooden furniture, such as rattan, cane, or turned wood pieces, which echo the natural motifs without competing with the landscape. To keep the focus on the scenery, select soft linen upholstery and simple, unpatterned textiles rather than busy fabrics.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on muted army greens, washed earth tones, soft grey-browns, and subtle misty sky shades. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, woodwork, or cornicing, we suggest looking to warm off-whites, chalky stone, or pale olive tones that pull from the lighter areas of the landscape. For deeper accents in furniture or soft furnishings, dark forest greens or muted tobacco browns create a grounded, cohesive look.
