Wallpaper - In the Backyard Mist

Our In the Backyard Mist wallpaper pairs a lush botanical foreground with an atmospheric, misty depth inspired by classic chinoiserie scenes. Exotic palm trees, delicate ferns, and leafy foliage in muted army green and earthy brown tones frame the composition, while a solitary white bird rests peacefully amidst the greenery. In the soft, hazy background, an ornate pagoda emerges quietly through the mist, creating an artistic sense of distance and calm. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall in a living room, where the complete landscape composition and subtle background layers have space to unfold naturally. The low-contrast palette of earthy greens and soft gradients ensures the wallpaper feels serene rather than overwhelming, even when covering an entire room. In open-plan living spaces or a quiet seating corner, the vertical lines of the palm fronds draw the eye upward, giving the space a balanced and grounded presence.

Styling it

The historic, heritage character of the chinoiserie illustration pairs naturally with classic and colonial-inspired interiors, though it sits just as comfortably alongside refined modern furniture.

To keep the focus on the intricate botanical detail and distant pagoda, we would balance the wall with quieter, mid-toned or dark wood furniture. Upholstered pieces in unpatterned, tactile fabrics such as neutral weaves or subtle bouclé help anchor the seating area without competing with the illustration's fine ink-drawn line work.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around muted army green, earthy browns, and soft misty neutrals, accented by the crisp white silhouette of the bird.

When decorating around it, we suggest pulling out the warmer undertones with soft off-white or light stone on adjacent walls and woodwork. For a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper olive tones or warm timber finishes on furniture and shelving create a seamless, harmonious link with the foliage.
