Dark & Moody Botanical Wallpaper for Bathrooms
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.
Well-ventilated bathrooms can absolutely be wallpapered. Use our Premium or Luxe paper with a suitable adhesive and avoid direct water contact zones.
Dark and moody wallpaper makes rooms feel cocooning and dramatic, and paradoxically can make small rooms feel larger as the corners recede.
Our edit of 26 original designs includes eucalyptus, fern, leaf sprig, scattered leaf, trailing vine. Highlights from the edit include Magnolia Leaf Sprig, Willoughby Scattered Leaf, Hurst Leaf Sprig.
Shown: Magnolia Leaf Sprig Wallpaper in Dusky Plum.

Styling tips
- Pair leafy prints with natural textures – rattan, linen, oak – and pick a paint colour from the darkest leaf for woodwork.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Small bathrooms and cloakrooms are perfect for bold pattern.
- 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 bathroom wall of about 2.4 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 5 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 2 rolls – from £88.40 on Standard paper to £145.08 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.
