As a celebrity style writer, I'm exposed to the world's most beautiful homes on a daily basis. However, even in the endless milieu of striking images, one idea that has never left my mind is a stunning forest mural wallpaper, but due to the general cost of these feature walls and the fact that I rent my current apartment, I assumed I could never have a similar feature in my home.
Two spaces that feature this look are Gwyneth Paltrow's dining room and Jeremiah Brent and Nate Berkus's bedroom and they look as expensive as you'd expect. So, when I came across the Scenic Pastures Peel and Stick Wall Mural in Ben and Erin Napier's latest collection on Wayfair, Erin & Ben Co I couldn't believe my luck.
In my past searches, every similar mural I found was thousands of dollars, and would require paste and installation – not this design. The gorgeous green-and-black print is more beautiful than anything I could've imagined, and it's under $400 for the entire mural. As far as wallpaper ideas go, it's flawless.
This pastoral woodland scene is absolutely stunning, perfect for a bedroom or a dining room, with all the charm of a first-edition vintage bookplate. It is easy to hang and comes off in full strips.
I love the idea of applying this peel-and-stick wallpaper behind my bed in my bedroom, as a kind of pseudo headboard that creates a striking impact when you enter the room. Though it's a bold design choice, the green and blue tones keep it grounded enough to be just the right amount of tranquil for a bedroom. It would be gorgeous with crisp white linen bedding, or could be styled with chocolate brown for more of a flowing nature-inspired look.
