Wallpaper - Quaking Grass

Designed by Deborah Revell, our Quaking Grass wallpaper features slender botanical stems and delicate oval seed heads suspended against an airy, textured white background with subtle painterly pastel undertones. The soft green stalks and muted brown tips create a calm, organic rhythm that brings the gentle movement of meadow grasses into the home. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design offers an understated botanical focal point that feels fresh and balanced.

In the room

In a bedroom or quiet living room, we love how the vertical stems naturally draw the eye upward while leaving plenty of visual breathing room across the wall. Because the upper portion of the composition opens up into a luminous pale background, it works beautifully behind low-profile furniture like a platform bed, a low credenza, or a clean-lined sofa where the botanical detail remains clearly visible. The light palette also makes this design a natural match for a meditation space or reading nook where a quiet, nature-inspired atmosphere is desired.

Styling it

To complement the airy quality of the motif, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with light, unvarnished woods such as pale ash, bleached oak, or birch. Keep surrounding furniture silhouettes simple and unadorned so the delicate linework of the grass stems takes center stage. For window dressings and soft furnishings, choosing loosely woven natural linens in off-white or oat tones will echo the textural, painterly ground of the design without competing for attention.

Color combinations

The artwork itself centers on pale army greens, soft sage, and warm brownish-purple tips set over a soft white and pale grey ground with faint pastel flecks. For adjacent painted walls and trim, we recommend soft chalk whites, muted ecru, or a delicate warm grey. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents in your upholstery or decor, deeper olive greens, muted taupe, or weathered charcoal provide an elegant anchor.
