Wallpaper - Arashiyama

Photographed by Jan Becke, our Arashiyama wallpaper captures a narrow dirt path winding through a towering bamboo grove. Slender green bamboo stalks stretch upward to form a leafy emerald canopy overhead, while woven brown bamboo fencing lines both sides of the trail. The perspective draws the eye naturally down the pathway, creating a strong sense of visual depth and vertical rhythm. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of its central perspective and strong vertical lines, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. Placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa or along an open wall allows the full height of the bamboo stalks and the receding walkway to remain visible, giving the room an immediate feeling of openness. The upward movement of the grove can also make rooms with standard ceiling heights feel taller and more spacious. In a living area with large windows, generous daylight highlights the subtle variations between the deep forest greens, emerald canopy, and warm earth tones along the path.

Styling it

To complement the architectural presence of the bamboo forest, we suggest pairing this mural with low-profile, clean-lined furniture that keeps the horizon line open. Low-slung seating in off-white or charcoal allows the wallpaper to serve as the main visual focal point without competing for attention. Warm, natural materials such as light oak, ash, or woven cane furniture pair naturally with the wooden fencing depicted in the scene. Introducing unglazed ceramic accents or matte black metal lighting provides subtle contrast against the dense green foliage without cluttering the room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers on rich emerald green, leafy moss tones, and warm earth browns along the fencing and path. For adjacent painted walls, soft neutral shades such as warm stone, muted greige, or soft chalk white let the vibrant greens stand out comfortably. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal trim or dark slate accents can echo the shadowed areas between the stalks. When choosing larger textiles, neutral upholstery paired with forest green or warm ochre throw pillows helps tie the surrounding room seamlessly into the mural's palette.
