Wallpaper - Quaking Grass

Created by Deborah Revell, our Quaking Grass wallpaper captures the airy, suspended beauty of delicate grass stems rising upward against a subtle painterly backdrop. Soft green and army green seed heads hang gracefully from slender stems, tipped with faint touches of warm brownish purple. Behind the botanical foreground, the background reveals a gentle, textured white surface with whispered flecks of pastel tone, giving the whole composition an open, artistic presence. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure that hangs smoothly on your wall.

In the room

Because the grass stems grow upward with a generous amount of open space above, this design works particularly well on main feature walls where you want visual interest without visual weight. In a bedroom, we like positioning it behind a low headboard or bed frame, allowing the hanging seed heads to drift upwards across the wall. In a living room or quiet meditation room, it creates a calm focal point that complements wide, open spaces. The soft verticality helps draw the eye gently upward, making it especially effective on walls that receive soft, diffused daylight where the delicate painterly nuances of the backdrop can be appreciated.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with understated, natural interior elements that echo its organic simplicity. Clean-lined contemporary or Scandinavian furniture in pale, untreated timber such as ash or light oak keeps the atmosphere light and uncluttered. Upholstery in textured neutral weaves, such as unbleached cotton or linen, will sit harmoniously alongside the botanical stems without competing for attention. To ground the space, you might introduce a few understated ceramic vessels or muted olive-green decorative accents that gently pick up on the seed heads.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres around a palette of soft army green, pale moss, and muted sage, contrasted by the quiet off-white and delicate pastel hints of the textured background. When selecting colours for neighbouring walls, woodwork, or larger furnishings, soft warm whites, chalky creams, or gentle stone greys work beautifully to maintain the bright, airy feel. If you prefer a touch more depth, subtle earthy green tones or soft beige-grey shades will harmonise effortlessly with the natural foliage.
