Dark & Moody Botanical Wallpaper for Cloakrooms
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 downstairs loo or cloakroom is the place to be brave. In a small room, bold pattern feels like a jewellery box rather than overwhelming.
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 25 original designs includes eucalyptus, fern, leaf sprig, scattered leaf, trailing vine. Highlights from the edit include Yardley Trailing Vine, Pippin Scattered Leaf, Tennant Fern.
Shown: Yardley Trailing Vine Wallpaper in Charcoal Dusk.

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.
- Pattern on all walls and even the ceiling is a designer trick worth trying.
- 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 cloakroom wall of about 1.6 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 4 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.
