Wallpaper - Walking to the Tropics Sepia

Our Walking to the Tropics Sepia wallpaper brings a lush botanical scene into the room, illustrated by Imary with a soft, watercolour-inspired character. Dense foliage in fern green and earthy undertones forms a layered canopy, featuring large heart-shaped leaves balanced by delicate pink, white, and purple orchids. The pale gradient backdrop allows the botanical details to stand out without feeling overly sharp or heavy. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, heritage-inspired atmosphere to feature walls and larger spaces.

In the room

In a living room, we like seeing this wallpaper behind a main seating area where the full height of the foliage has room to unfold. The vertical depth in the leaves works particularly well on an uninterrupted wall, creating a lush focal point that anchors the surrounding space.

For a bedroom, our design creates a quiet, enveloping backdrop when placed behind a headboard. Because the motif balances rich botanical greens with gentle floral accents and a soft background, it adds visual depth without overwhelming the rest of the interior.

Styling it

We would pair this botanical design with furniture and accents that complement its 19th-century colonial and heritage character. Natural, warm-toned woods such as teak or dark-stained oak work beautifully alongside the deep fern greens and earthy foliage.

To balance the detailed leaf forms, keep surrounding textiles relatively simple. Plain woven fabrics, unpatterned upholstery, and soft ceramic or matte brass lighting fixtures let the wallpaper remain the central decorative feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on fern and earthy greens, accented by subtle orchid tones in soft pink, pale lilac, and clean white against a light, misty background.

When choosing colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest warm off-whites, muted stone, or gentle plaster tones that echo the pale backdrop. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich olive or muted forest green drawn from the deepest foliage creates a cohesive, grounded look across skirting boards and neighbouring surfaces.
