Black & White Botanical Wallpaper for Living Rooms
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.
The living room is where most people start with wallpaper. A feature wall behind the sofa or across the chimney breast gives an instant focal point without overwhelming the space.
Black and white wallpaper is graphic, timeless and surprisingly easy to style.
Our edit of 22 original designs includes eucalyptus, fern, leaf sprig, scattered leaf, trailing vine. Highlights from the edit include Willoughby Scattered Leaf, Pippin Scattered Leaf, Wolsey Eucalyptus.

Styling tips
- Pair leafy prints with natural textures – rattan, linen, oak – and pick a paint colour from the darkest leaf for woodwork.
- Add one accent colour – yellow, green or red – for a contemporary edge.
- Measure each wall separately and include alcoves; our calculator adds the pattern repeat for you.
- Large leaves suit big walls; smaller sprigs and trailing vines are better in cloakrooms and alcoves where you see the pattern up close.
How much will I need?
A typical living room wall of about 4.2 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 9 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
Make it your own
Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
