Wallpaper - Kates Rushes II

Our Kates Rushes II wallpaper captures the understated grace of winter reeds, where tall cattails with rich brown heads rise gently above delicate, wispy grasses. Created by Deborah Revell, this photographic design is set against an off-white, textured-looking ground with subtle hints of snow and soft grey tones. The composition feels open and serene, offering a quiet botanical focal point that brings the outside in without overwhelming the eye. Printed to order to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it provides an effortless way to introduce natural calm into your home.

In the room

In a bedroom, we particularly like this design placed on the wall behind the headboard, where the slender vertical lines of the rushes draw the eye upward while keeping the surrounding space restful. It works equally well across a wider uninterrupted wall in a living room, giving the full botanical composition room to breathe alongside low-profile seating. For a dedicated home office or study, the soft contrast and neutral monochrome palette offer a grounding backdrop that feels uncluttered throughout the working day. Because the pattern relies on light tones and generous negative space, it sits comfortably in both compact rooms and larger open-plan spaces.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with simple interior elements that echo its quiet, nature-led aesthetic. Low-profile furniture with clean silhouettes prevents the wall from feeling crowded and allows the tall stems to remain fully visible. Natural upholstery in muted oat, linen, or warm off-white complements the gentle background, while accents of dark stained timber or charcoal metalwork subtly pull out the deeper brown and grey tones of the rushes. Keeping decorative accessories deliberate and few will reinforce the serene, wabi-sabi feel of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a restrained palette of ivory, off-white, soft greys, and deep earthy browns. To create a seamless, harmonious scheme, pair it with adjacent walls painted in warm chalky whites, pale stone, or soft greige. If you prefer a touch more definition, deep walnut, espresso brown, or charcoal trim will echo the darkest botanical details without disrupting the overall neutral harmony.
