Wallpaper - Swimming Lilies

Our Swimming Lilies wallpaper brings together delicate water lilies, soft green pads and an atmospheric, weathered background in muted purple and mauve tones. The painted-looking blooms feature white petals with yellow centres, set against a backdrop that suggests aged fresco plaster with fine visual craquelure and peeling paint. Across the lower portion, a distressed off-white stone or plaster effect adds grounded visual depth, giving the whole composition the character of a discovered heritage mural. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a calm, artistic quality to any interior.

In the room

Because the composition has a clear vertical structure, with the lighter plaster effect grounding the base and the water lilies floating across the upper section, we see this working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall. In a bathroom, bedroom or dedicated meditation room, it creates a serene focal point where the full horizontal span of floating leaves can be appreciated without being broken up by tall cabinetry. If you are planning an accent wall behind a low bed frame or a freestanding bath, the division between the lower off-white texture and the mauve background aligns naturally with lower furniture lines.

Styling it

To let the mural wallpapers carry the decorative interest in the room, we would keep the surrounding interior elements relatively simple and grounded.

• Pair the design with painted furniture in chalky whites, pale stone or muted plaster tones that reflect the lighter base of the mural.
• Choose natural, tactile fabrics such as unbleached linen or washed cotton for bedding and window dressings to complement the soft watercolour appearance.
• Introduce understated accessories in antique brass or brushed bronze, which pick up on the warm, earthy undertones in the lily centres and weathered wall cracks.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its dusty mauve and muted purple background, contrasted with soft sage greens, pale water lily petals and warm yellow stamens, all anchored by aged off-white along the bottom. When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, consider soft off-whites, warm chalk greys, or gentle dusty rose shades that connect with the purple undertones. For a deeper, more enveloping scheme, a muted olive or soft sage green on the trim will draw out the foliage without overwhelming the room.
