Wallpaper - Samarkand Ferns, Robin's Egg

Our Samarkand Ferns wallpaper in Robin's Egg brings together a rich teal blue ground with rhythmic vertical bands of stylised botanical forms. Designed by E. A. Séguy, the composition alternates between delicate red branch motifs and swirling green ferns, each set inside cream rectangular panels with fine dotted borders. The structured layout balances decorative geometry with an organic Arts and Crafts feel, creating an elegant visual rhythm on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure, it offers a distinct heritage look with balanced decorative character.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a living room, dining area, or a dedicated home library. Because the design is organised into clear vertical stripes and repeated rectangular panels, it brings a structured sense of height to a room, making it particularly effective on larger uninterrupted walls where the full pattern sequence has space to unfold.

In a study or library, the rich teal background and warm earthy accents provide an inviting backdrop behind low bookcases or a desk. If you want to use it across multiple walls, the orderly geometric framing prevents the intricate botanical details from feeling chaotic, creating a cohesive, enveloped atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau heritage of the pattern, we would lean towards furniture with classic proportions and warm natural materials:

• Choose warm, mid-to-dark wood furniture, such as antique mahogany, dark oak, or walnut, to echo the grounded, historic character of the motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles relatively quiet in solid weaves or subtle textures, allowing the detailed botanical panels to take centre stage.
• Introduce understated warm metal accents, like antique brass or aged bronze, which naturally enhance the deep teal and earthy red tones without competing with the pattern.

Colour combinations

The design is anchored by a deep teal blue base, paired with warm cream panels, earthy red branch details, and soft green ferns.

When choosing colours for surrounding woodwork, ceilings, or adjacent walls, we suggest pulling directly from these core tones. A soft cream or warm off-white on skirting boards and cornices creates a crisp, tailored frame around the wallpaper. For a moodier, more immersive scheme, you could match adjacent painted walls or joinery to the rich teal ground. Earthy terracotta, muted olive greens, and warm russet accents in cushions or curtains will also tie the entire room together effortlessly.
