Wallpaper - Old Old Times

Capturing the quiet depth of a temperate rainforest, our Old Old Times wall mural by Pete Saloutos draws the eye down a wooden boardwalk winding through dense ferns and moss-covered trees. The composition balances towering vertical trunks with a rich understorey of vibrant fern greens, earthy woodland browns, and filtered canopy light. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper mural with a subtle paper structure, this PVC-free design brings the layered visual richness of deep woodland directly into the home.

In the room

In a living room or home library, we see this design working best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the central path and horizontal expanse can fully establish a sense of spatial depth. Placing it behind a lower sofa or alongside low bookshelves allows the intricate forest floor and mossy foreground to remain clearly visible. In a quiet meditation room or study, the dense greenery provides an enveloping backdrop that sits naturally in spaces dedicated to focused reading or quiet retreat. Generous natural daylight brings out the subtle distinctions across the pale canopy foliage and darker fern undergrowth.

Styling it

Because the woodland scene carries significant visual detail and natural colour, we recommend keeping surrounding interior elements grounded and uncrowded. Low-profile furniture with clean lines prevents visual competition with the dense trunks and foliage. To complement the earthy forest tones, incorporate natural materials such as warm-toned timber or unvarnished woods that echo the forest floor and boardwalk. Textiles in simple woven textures and neutral, unpatterned finishes help anchor the room while letting the mural wallpapers remain the primary focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a broad palette of greens, ranging from luminous fern green and bright lime canopy tones to dark moss and deep olive, balanced by rich forest-floor brown and warm bark shades. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites with a warm undertone or muted pale greys keep the surrounding room bright without clashing. If you prefer deeper contrast, a dark forest green or warm charcoal on adjacent woodwork and trims creates a striking, cohesive frame around the mural.
