Wallpaper - Soft Leaves II

Created by Sarah Adams, our Soft Leaves II wallpaper brings fluid botanical movement to interior walls with graceful foliage rendered in deep navy and lighter blue tones. The elongated, pointed leaves drift across a clean, light ground with the soft visual variation of watercolor brushwork, overlapping gently along thin curved stems. The open composition creates a balanced rhythm that feels airy rather than dense, giving your space an artistic, organic presence. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We love how this design brings a tranquil quality to private and shared spaces alike. In a bedroom, placing Soft Leaves II across the wall behind the headboard grounds the room while keeping the overall atmosphere light and serene. In a living room or dining room, the generous negative space around the leaves allows the wallpaper to stretch across a wide, uninterrupted wall without overwhelming the furniture arranged in front of it.

Because the pattern has an open, flowing structure, we also see it working nicely in smaller areas like an entryway, study, or dressing room. In a home office or library, the calm blue palette introduces visual interest that stays gentle on the eyes throughout the day.

Styling it

The watercolor-like blue tones pair naturally with clean-lined furniture and warm, grounding textures. We would keep the surrounding palette relatively quiet, allowing the foliage pattern to act as the primary visual feature in the room.

Warm wood tones such as natural oak or walnut balance the cooler navy notes, while soft matte ceramics and brushed brass accents echo the artistic, refined feel of the botanical motif. For upholstery and window treatments, unbleached cotton or plain woven fabrics in ivory, oatmeal, or soft grey keep the surrounding surfaces feeling light and cohesive.

Color combinations

The design itself centers on navy blue and layered watery blues against a bright, clean white backdrop.

To build a harmonious palette around the wallpaper, consider pairing it with:

• Crisp white or soft off-white on adjacent walls, ceiling, and trim to keep the overall room bright and open.
• Deep navy or midnight blue on painted cabinetry, a bed frame, or an accent armchair to pull out the darkest tones of the leaves.
• Muted slate, warm taupe, or soft grey textiles to provide a subtle, grounding contrast to the blue tones.
