Botanical vs Botanical Mural Wallpaper: What's the Difference?
Botanical: Botanical wallpaper draws on the Victorian passion for plant hunting, when glasshouses filled with ferns and palms. Botanical Mural: Botanical murals scale foliage up to near life size, layering leaves in depth so a wall reads as a painted garden rather than a repeat. In practice: Large leaves suit big walls; smaller sprigs and trailing vines are better in cloakrooms and alcoves where you see the pattern up close. Brilliant on a single feature wall, behind a bed or wrapped around a dining room. Our range has 158 botanical and 40 botanical mural designs.

About botanical
Botanical wallpaper draws on the Victorian passion for plant hunting, when glasshouses filled with ferns and palms. Today it is the easiest way to bring a sense of growth and calm into rooms that lack a garden view. Large leaves suit big walls; smaller sprigs and trailing vines are better in cloakrooms and alcoves where you see the pattern up close.
