Wallpaper - Kates Rushes III

In this wallpaper by Deborah Revell, tall cattails with deep brown tops rise gracefully through fine, spiky grasses across a soft off-white, plaster-textured background with subtle beige undertones. What we particularly appreciate about this design is its quiet vertical rhythm and spacious composition, which gives the botanical elements room to breathe while grounding the wall with natural elegance. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an understated, contemporary look that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

The tall, upward movement of the grasses makes this design especially effective on full-height walls where the vertical forms can draw the eye upward. In a bedroom, we like placing it behind a low headboard so the slender stems and cattail heads remain fully visible. In a living room or hallway, it works wonderfully across an uninterrupted feature wall, bringing an airy botanical presence without overwhelming the space. Because the composition is open and the background is light, it also sits comfortably in smaller rooms or compact home offices where a denser pattern might feel heavy.

Styling it

The restrained botanical character pairs naturally with minimalist, organic modern, and wabi-sabi aesthetics. We would lean toward low-profile furniture in light or warm wood tones, such as ash or bleached oak, which echo the organic feel of the rushes. Keeping surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in unpatterned, textured weaves helps maintain the quiet balance of the room, letting the clean silhouettes of the mural wallpapers stand out.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a serene neutral foundation of off-white and soft cream plaster tones, accented by earthy browns and muted beige in the foliage. When styling the surrounding space, we suggest pairing it with chalky stone or soft linen shades on adjacent walls to extend the gentle warmth. For subtle grounding accents, darker wood finishes or muted espresso and charcoal elements in lighting or hardware tie directly into the deep brown of the cattails.
