Wallpaper - Plant is life

Created by Julia Purinton, our Plant is life wallpaper brings a painted still-life composition to the wall with a row of potted house plants and leafy cuttings arranged along a clean shelf. The design pairs painterly brushwork with a calm, light backdrop, balancing rich fern green leaves against ceramic vessels in soft ochre, muted coral, turquoise, cream, and pale blue. What we particularly appreciate is how the trailing ivy and upright stems create an organic, airy rhythm without overwhelming the surrounding room. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design is simple to hang and adds an inviting botanical focal point to any interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room or living room where a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full horizontal arrangement of vessels to stretch out naturally. Because the composition is anchored along a shelf line at the bottom with open space above, it sits comfortably behind a dining table, low console, or sofa without the foliage getting visually lost behind low furniture. In a dining area, it creates a welcoming backdrop that feels fresh and grounded, while in a living room, it offers the visual warmth of indoor plants in a clean, contemporary format.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern feel of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture that lets the painterly ceramics stand out. Light or mid-tone wood pieces, such as a smooth dining table or a low sideboard, echo the earthy warmth of the yellow and terracotta-toned pots. For surrounding textiles, choosing quiet, unpatterned fabrics in off-white or soft cream keeps the focus on the lush foliage and varied vessel silhouettes.

Color combinations

The motif centers on deep fern greens alongside a playful mix of pottery tones, including turquoise, pale yellow, soft coral, warm beige, and airy light blue, all set against an off-white background. For adjacent painted walls, a warm off-white or gentle ivory provides a seamless transition that matches the background tone of the mural. If you prefer to draw out specific accents, pulling the muted coral or light fern green into painted trim, dining chairs, or nearby cabinetry creates a thoughtful and cohesive palette throughout the space.
