Wallpaper - Sunny Ancient

Our Sunny Ancient wallpaper, captured by photographer James Schwabel, brings the rich verticality and filtered light of an ancient pine forest into the home. Towering tree trunks clad in moss and hanging lichen create strong vertical rhythms, while lush ferns carpet the foreground in vibrant greens and earthy undertones. Warm sunlight catches the bark and foliage in subtle patches, adding depth and visual warmth across the entire panoramic composition. As with all our wallpapers, this mural design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this photographic mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation room, where the panoramic depth can unfold without heavy visual interruption. The strong vertical lines of the tree trunks draw the eye upwards, which can make rooms with standard or lower ceilings feel pleasantly spacious. Because the forest scene is dense and visually immersive, placing it behind a low-profile sofa or along a main feature wall allows the layered greens and warm bark tones to ground the entire space. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between moss, fern, and sunlit wood become especially engaging throughout the day.

Styling it

When styling around such a detailed forest mural, we recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively quiet and grounded so the wallpaper remains the focal point. Low-slung seating in neutral upholstery, such as muted oatmeal, soft charcoal, or warm grey, balances the visual density of the foliage. Complement the woodland atmosphere with natural, oiled oak or walnut furniture pieces that echo the rich bark of the pines. For accent pieces and accessories, matte black metal fixtures or unglazed ceramics in earthy tones harmonise well with the organic textures in the photograph without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a spectrum of lush fern greens, mossy olive tones, deep forest greens, and warm bark browns, punctuated by golden sunlit highlights. For adjacent walls and surrounding architectural elements, we suggest pairing the mural with soft off-whites, warm stone, or muted taupe to maintain an airy feel. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping palette, deep moss green or warm slate grey on woodwork, skirting boards, or adjoining walls creates a cohesive, grounded look that draws out the deeper shadows of the forest floor.
