Palm Tree Wallpaper

What Palm Tree Wallpaper Is and Why It Works

Palm tree wallpaper is a wall covering built around whole palms, trunks and fronds. It reads sunny and open, not busy. That is why it suits living rooms, bedrooms and sun rooms. It is the wide, scenic side of tropical wallpaper.

Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact size of your wall. We print these designs all summer, and they sell just as well in winter. The thing buyers ask us most is whether a palm feels too much like a hotel. Take a soft, faded scene and it does not. It just reads calm and warm.

Whole Trees or Close Up Leaves?

This is the first choice to make. The two looks do different jobs.

Whole tree scenes give you distance. You see trunks, sky and often sand or water behind them. They open a wall up, which helps in a small room. Close up designs fill the frame with fronds. They read as pattern rather than view, and they feel richer and more graphic. Our palm leaf wallpaper range covers that second look in full.

Where a Palm Tree Mural Works Best

Living Rooms

Put the scene behind the sofa and leave the other walls plain. It gives the room a view. Add rattan, linen and pale wood to finish the look.

Bedrooms

A soft, sun bleached palm behind the bed reads restful. Keep the tones close, in sand, cream and faded green.

Sun Rooms and Porches

This is where the theme makes most sense. The mural carries on what the windows already show.

Kids Rooms

A bright beach scene with palms is fun without being babyish. It also grows with the child.

Pattern Scale Matters

Scale counts as much as subject. A wide beach scene needs a clear wall to be read. Behind a bed or sofa is ideal. Got a wall cut up by doors and shelves? Pick a close up frond repeat instead. It still works when only parts of it show.

Styles You Will Find Here

You will find sun bleached photographs, soft watercolor groves, bold ink silhouettes, retro pink sunsets and painterly beach wallpaper scenes. Some are quiet and almost gray. Others are loud, with hot sky and deep green. Want a mid century feel? Take a flat two tone silhouette on a warm ground.

Colors to Build Around

Most of these murals bring their own palette. Sand, cream and warm white keep the room light. Rattan, jute and pale timber suit the coastal look. Black frames add a modern edge. Terracotta picks up a sunset design. Deep green works with a jungle scene. One thing to avoid is a cold gray-blue, which fights the warm light in most palm murals. If you want cool, use a soft sea blue instead.

Sizing, Finish and Fitting

Send us the width and height of your wall. We scale the art to match, so a trunk never lands half cut in a corner. That matters with a scene, because a chopped tree is the first thing you notice. Choose peel and stick for a removable wallpaper finish that lifts off later. Choose paste the wall for a room that is staying as it is. Panels arrive numbered. Shipping is free on every order.

Order a Sample First

Sun bleached tones are hard to trust on a screen. A sand can look pink on a phone and gray on the wall. Order a sample and tape it up. Look at it in the morning and again in the evening. Light does more to these murals than to any plain color.
