Wallpaper - Samarkand Ferns, Aegan Blue

Our Samarkand Ferns wallpaper in Aegean Blue brings together structured geometry and flowing botanical form, based on an original design by E. A. Séguy. Stylised fern fronds in soft white and pale blue unfold across vertical panels, set against a deep steel blue ground. Each panel is bordered by delicate dotted lines, creating a rhythmic, architectural balance that draws the eye upward. The contrast between the crisp, ink-drawn lines and the dark background gives the motif a refined Art Nouveau character. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design adds a rich sense of pattern while maintaining a calm, orderly feel across the wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in a living room, library, or home study where you want to create an intimate, considered atmosphere. The vertical structure of the panels helps give height to a room, making it an excellent choice for walls behind a sofa, a low bookcase, or a reading desk. Because the motif is framed within repeating vertical bands, it sits comfortably across a wider uninterrupted feature wall without feeling chaotic. In a smaller study or snug, wrapping multiple walls in the deep steel blue palette creates an enveloping, quiet space where the lighter botanical details catch soft lamplight.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing its geometric precision and heritage character with clean-lined furnishings:

• Pair the deep blue backdrop with rich, warm woods such as dark walnut or antique mahogany to enhance the classic, archival feel of the artwork.
• Introduce understated brass or antiqued bronze details in lighting and hardware to quietly complement the cool steel blue tones.
• Keep larger upholstered pieces simple and solid in texture, choosing unpatterned wools or heavy linens in stone, soft grey, or muted navy so the wall mural remains the focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of deep steel blue, soft powder blue, and crisp off-white. To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend taking cues from the lighter linework for adjacent painted walls or woodwork, using soft chalky whites, pale dove greys, or muted slate blues. If you prefer a moodier, wraparound feel, matching your skirting boards and door frames to the deep navy or steel blue of the background creates an immersive, tailored look.
