Wallpaper - Kates Rushes II

Our Kates Rushes II wallpaper captures tall cattails and delicate dry grasses rising against a softly textured off-white ground. Created from photographic work by Deborah Revell, the design balances deep brown tops with pale, linear stems and subtle gray undertones that evoke a quiet winter field. The composition has an open, vertical rhythm with generous negative space, allowing the fine botanical details to stand out without crowding the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want a calm, nature-inspired atmosphere. In a bedroom, placing the mural behind the bed creates a serene focal point where the slender rushes draw the eye upward without dominating the room. The vertical lines also suit a quiet home office or reading nook, adding visual height and natural texture to walls that might otherwise feel plain. Because the upper portion of the design stays relatively light and open, it works beautifully across larger living room accent walls without overwhelming surrounding artwork or seating areas.

Styling it

The minimalist, wabi-sabi character of this design pairs naturally with understated interiors that celebrate simple forms and organic textures. We recommend pairing it with warm, lighter woods like bleached oak or natural ash, which echo the pale dried grass tones in the motif. Low-profile furniture with clean horizontal lines provides a grounding balance against the strong vertical stems of the cattails. For textiles, unbleached linen bedding, soft wool throws, or matte ceramic accents in stone and chalky whites enhance the quiet, tactile feel of the space without introducing competing patterns.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of off-white, soft ivory, warm gray, and deep earthy brown. For surrounding walls and trim, we like soft neutrals such as warm alabaster, pale greige, or muted putty to keep the overall room cohesive and bright. If you prefer deeper contrast, you can draw out the rich brown of the cattails through accent pieces like a dark walnut side table, charcoal linen cushions, or slate-colored decor.
