  Design Inspiration

  The Herons Wallpaper is a Japanese-inspired bird wallpaper with elegant herons, painterly branches and soft flashes of pink blossom. It has the calm, decorative quality people often look for in Japanese style wallpaper, but with enough colour and detail to feel warm and liveable in a British home.

  The design works beautifully when you want pattern with movement rather than a flat repeated motif. The herons give the wallpaper a graceful focal point, while the botanical details help soften the scheme and make the room feel considered rather than overly themed.

  Part of The Herons collection, this wallpaper is designed to sit alongside matching fabrics, so you can carry the same colours into blinds, cushions, upholstery and lampshades without having to search for separate patterns that only partly work together.

  Where to Use This Wallpaper

  The Herons Wallpaper is ideal for rooms where you want a decorative feature wall with a calm, nature-led feel. It works particularly well behind a bed, in a living room alcove, around a dining area or in a home office where the pattern can bring interest without feeling too loud.

  For a softer scheme, use it on one wall and keep the surrounding paintwork light and warm. For a richer interior, repeat one of the deeper tones from the design in curtains, upholstery or painted furniture. The bird and blossom details also make it a thoughtful choice for guest bedrooms, reading corners and grown-up nurseries where you want something charming but not childish.

  If you are styling a Japanese-inspired room, avoid making every element too literal. Pair this wallpaper with natural timber, simple linen-look textures, ceramic lamps and one or two pieces of patterned fabric rather than filling the space with themed accessories.

  Coordinating Fabrics

  The easiest way to make this wallpaper feel intentional is to use it with coordinating wallpaper and fabric from Emerson Wolf. The matching Herons fabrics allow the same artwork and colours to be used across cushions, curtains, blinds, upholstery and lampshades, helping the whole room feel connected.

  Use the wallpaper as the main decorative feature, then bring in the coordinating velvet or suede fabric on smaller pieces if you want a gentle, layered scheme. For a bolder room, repeat the heron design on a statement chair or lampshade so the pattern appears in more than one place.

  This approach is especially useful in open-plan spaces, where a wallpapered wall in one area can be linked to fabric accents elsewhere in the room.

• Why choose non-woven wallpaper?

  Our non-woven wallpapers offer several benefits over traditional paper or vinyl wallpapers found elsewhere:

  • Durability: Emerson Wolf non-woven wallpapers are made from a combination of natural and synthetic fibres, making them highly durable and resistant to tearing, scuffing, and moisture damage. They are ideal for high-traffic areas, homes with children and pets and hotels.
  • Breathability: Non-woven wallpapers are breathable, allowing moisture to pass through them and preventing the buildup of mould and mildew. This feature makes them a suitable choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other humid environments.
  • Easy installation: Unlike traditional wallpapers, non-woven wallpapers are designed to be installed using a paste-the-wall technique, where the adhesive is applied directly to the wall surface. This method simplifies the installation process and reduces the risk of bubbling or peeling.
  • Removability: When it's time for a change, non-woven wallpapers are relatively easy to remove. They can be peeled off cleanly, leaving minimal residue on the wall surface, which makes them a practical choice for renters or those who like to update their decor frequently.
  • Versatility: Non-woven wallpapers come in a wide range of designs, colours, and textures, allowing you to achieve various decorative effects, from modern and minimalist to bold and vibrant.
  • Environmental-friendliness: Our non-woven wallpapers are made from FSC-certified fibres and water-based inks which are GREENGUARD certified, making them an eco-friendly option for those concerned about sustainability.
  • Cleanable: Our non-woven wallpaper is coated making them resistant to staining and easier to clean and maintain than traditional wallpapers, simply wipe with a damp cloth.

  We highly recommend purchasing a sample of our wallpaper to experience firsthand the unparalleled quality and craftsmanship that sets it apart from others in the market.
