Wallpaper - Pots of Herbs II Cottage

Created by Carol Rowan, our Pots of Herbs II Cottage wallpaper brings a row of classic culinary herbs into full, painterly focus. Weathered terracotta pots hold basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, chives, and marjoram, each marked with a small vintage-style label against a softly brushed neutral backdrop. The composition balances earthy terracotta tones with varied fern and botanical greens, rendered in an oil paint style that shows visible brushwork and soft texture. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a kitchen or a dining room where food, cooking, and gatherings are central to the home. The horizontal arrangement of the pots creates a grounded baseline, making it especially effective across a main kitchen wall or above a dining banquette. Because the motif is arranged as a continuous still life, it benefits from a wider wall where the full sequence of herb pots can be appreciated without being broken up by tall cabinetry or large appliances. In an open-plan kitchen and dining area, mural wallpapers like this one can define the dining zone with an inviting, rustic charm.

Styling it

To complement the traditional cottage aesthetic, we would pair this design with warm natural materials and simple, heritage-inspired furniture.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as an antique pine dining table or open shelving in natural oak, which mirrors the organic warmth of the herb pots.
• Choose cabinetry or painted trim in muted, heritage tones like soft cream, warm grey, or an understated sage green to echo the botanical foliage.
• Introduce classic kitchen accents like patinated copper, aged brass hardware, or simple glazed stoneware ceramics to complete the collected, English country kitchen feel.

Color combinations

The palette in our design centers on rich, earthy terracotta and weathered pot finishes paired with a spectrum of herbal greens, from muted sage and fern to deep pine, set against a calm, pale grey background. When choosing colors for surrounding walls, cabinetry, or trim, warm off-whites and pale stone shades keep the overall space bright while letting the herbs remain the focal point. For a more enveloping, traditional scheme, deep olive green or warm clay tones on adjacent walls will enhance the cozy character of the wall murals.
