Fern Wallpaper: Elegant Fronds, Made in Your Colour Way
The Quiet Elegance of the Fern
Few plants are as quietly beautiful as the fern. Those fine, symmetrical fronds have a natural, architectural grace — delicate and detailed up close, calm and green from across the room. As a wallpaper, the fern brings a room a fresh, understated elegance and a lovely sense of the woodland floor: leafy and characterful, yet never busy. It's a botanical with a long, romantic history in interiors, and it feels as fresh today as it ever has.
At Claret & Key, every fern design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, so the mood is yours — soft and airy, or deep and dramatic. Made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Why a fern works so well
The beauty of the fern is in its structure. Each frond is a study in fine, repeating detail, which gives a fern design a soft, almost textural quality — pattern that reads as calm and considered rather than fussy. That makes it wonderfully versatile: leafy enough to bring a room to life, but restful enough to live with for years.
Because we print to order, the colour way is yours. Fresh, natural greens give the classic fern look. A soft, tonal fern feels understated and elegant. And a deep or dramatic ground — dark green or near-black — turns the fronds into a striking, moody statement.
Where fern wallpaper works
Ferns suit rooms you want to feel fresh and calm. A bedroom becomes restful and green; a bathroom-adjacent space or cloakroom gains a fresh, verdant character; and a hallway, study or garden room feels connected to the outdoors. A deep, dramatic fern also makes a beautiful feature wall, all the more striking for its fine detail.
Choose your finish
Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) for busy walls, and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm) for renters and easy change. All are printed to order on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Greens shift with the light, so order a sample and see your colour way in the room first.

Can I get fern wallpaper in a custom colour?
Yes — every fern design is printed to order in your chosen colour way and scale, from soft green to a dramatic dark ground, made especially for you.
I think the edges of the wallpaper are ever so slightly wavy which means there are some seams showing even though other parts are right up next to each other. I wouldn’t really expect this for the price point. It was professionally fitted.
It was good. I ordered the wrong paper when I re-ordered and Charlie helped me a lot to get it returned. Linda to help me get the correct paper.get the correct paper ordered. I really appreciate all the help. And I got the rest of the paper up and I love it.
The Wallpaper is really cute and of nice quality. I did have issues a few times with the back not peeling off and sticking, so that was a little frustrating. But overall it looks great!
This wallpaper is just gorgeous! I used the one that requires glue and it was super easy to i stall. One roll was enough for a 6’ wide laundry closet with 7’5” ceilings. Even on our orange peel walls it set beautifully. I did this behind our new washer dryer set up in our laundry closet with white oak cabinets and it’s perfect! Highly recommend!
Truly love this wallpaper. Looks amazing in both our bathroom (the original project) and as an accent in the back of a cabinet (what we did with the extra). Everyone who sees it comments on how classy and beautiful it is. For these reasons five stars!
However I do want to call out two concerns:
1. The online "calculator" on the site recommend nine roles, which seemed excessive for our less than 100 sq ft bathroom. I even reached out to support to double check and they said to go by the calculator. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up ordering five roles and only needing 4. I will say returning the 5th role was a pretty smooth process, so kudus to Claret and Key for that.
2. Strangely the "autumn" color with pale nutmeg background reads more green than brown in certain light. With bright overhead light it comes across as the soft brown we intended, but in natural light it reads much more green. Not anything to terrible just unexpected.
Beautiful paper! Our decorator commented on its quality and how nice and easy it was to work with compared to other wallpaper he had used in the past. Thank you.
So in love with this wallpaper. We wanted a cosy cottage bedroom vibe so we chose the Eloise. It’s such a pretty design that completely transformed the space. The wallpaper is such great quality .We have very uneven walls but didn’t have any issues. Hanging it was a joy. Highly recommend.
We used Blanche to paper some built in wardrobes that double up as room dividers. It was brilliant to be able to sample several background colour options and we are delighted with the finished result
Thank you. Fabulous Wallpaper.
Great quality paper and easy to hang.
The design is so rich in colour and adds such decadence to my dressing area. Now for the finishing touches.
