Wallpaper - Kates Rushes III

In our Kates Rushes III wallpaper, tall cattails with deep brown tops rise naturally alongside fine, spiky grasses against an off-white, canvas-textured background with subtle beige nuances. Created by Deborah Revell, the design balances vertical botanical elements with open space, giving the composition a grounded, understated character. The muted palette and organic linework create a calm visual presence on the wall without feeling busy. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We especially like how the vertical grasses in Kates Rushes III draw the eye upward, making it a natural choice for rooms where you want to emphasize wall height. In a living room or bedroom, the motif works beautifully across a wide feature wall behind a low sofa or headboard, allowing the slender stalks to remain visible without being obscured by taller furniture. The open background and quiet neutral palette also allow it to sit comfortably in an entryway, hallway, or home office where you want botanical character without visual clutter. For a bathroom, the earthy aesthetic creates a relaxed, nature-inspired atmosphere while keeping the overall look bright and balanced.

Styling it

Because the pattern relies on slender vertical forms and generous open space, we suggest pairing it with furniture that shares a similar sense of restraint. Low-profile seating and clean-lined shelving allow the full height of the cattails to take center stage. The organic lines of the foliage pair naturally with minimalist, contemporary, or Japandi and wabi-sabi aesthetics, where unadorned surfaces let individual silhouettes stand out.

To complement the earthy mood, we would introduce lightly structured accents rather than heavy decorative layers. Matte ceramics, woven storage baskets, and unbleached cotton or linen textiles complement the botanical subject matter while keeping the visual weight balanced.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper centers on soft cream, muted off-white, and warm beige, punctuated by the deep earthy brown of the cattail heads and delicate green-brown tones in the reeds.

When choosing colors for adjacent walls and trim, we like soft off-whites, warm stone, and light oatmeal, which echo the background tone and create a cohesive perimeter. For furniture or smaller decorative pieces, deeper charcoal, espresso, or dark walnut tones draw out the rich brown tops of the rushes, providing grounded contrast without overwhelming the room.
