Wallpaper - Reaching For the Sun

Designed by Imary, our Reaching For the Sun wallpaper brings together tall, botanical line drawings with a soft, watercolor-inspired wash of delicate pastel tones. Slender floral stems rise vertically across the composition, rendered with fine, vintage-style engraving detail that creates rhythmic depth against a background of soft peach, pale yellow, and gentle lilac. What we particularly like is how the delicate line work remains distinct while blending seamlessly into the dreamy, atmospheric wash behind it. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure that adds depth to the printed design.

In the room

Because the botanical stems stretch upward in vertical columns, we find this design works exceptionally well on taller walls or in rooms where you want to draw the eye upward. In a bedroom, placing this wallpaper along the wall behind the headboard creates a serene, garden-like backdrop that feels both expansive and calming. It also suits a dedicated home office, library, or quiet meditation room where the tranquil, airy mood can set a gentle tone across a main accent wall. For living rooms, we like seeing this mural wallpaper on an open wall with lower furniture, allowing the full vertical sweep of the botanical stems to be enjoyed from top to bottom.

Styling it

To complement the light, romantic quality of the botanical illustration, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, gentle lines and subtle physical texture. Painted wood in soft off-white or light natural timber keeps the overall room feel airy without competing with the detailed floral line work. For surrounding textiles, lightweight woven fabrics such as unbleached cotton or washed linen in cream and blush bring a relaxed, tactile layer to the space that echoes the soft watercolor background.

Color combinations

The wallpaper palette is grounded in a soft peach and off-white base, layered with muted watercolor washes of pale lilac, warm blush, and hazy meadow greens, while the botanical outlines are sketched in warm charcoal. When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend soft warm whites, muted blush, or a delicate dusty rose to draw out the lighter floral highlights. If you prefer a subtle contrast, a soft greige or pale sage green on baseboards and doors creates an elegant, cohesive frame around the mural.
