Mother of Trees

Collection: Nordic Tales | Article number: 9368

Mother of Trees is an elegant, hand-painted wallpaper bringing together almost all of Sweden’s native deciduous trees in one beautiful network of branches. Aspen, birch, chestnut and oak grow side by side in a detailed watercolour design that combines naturalistic beauty with decorative charm.

In this light colourway, the foliage and branches appear in gentle shades of beige, brown and grey against a warm white background. A soft, harmonious palette that captures the tranquillity of nature. Digitally printed on natural linen, the wallpaper’s rich texture adds warmth and character to the beautiful design.

Frequently asked questions

What paste should I use, and how much?

For our Nordic Tales collection, you should use a fabric adhesive, a ready-mixed paste for textile wallpaper, dry content > 20%. It is important not to use too little paste, and please take a look at our wallpaper guide for more information.

How many rolls do I need?

The rolls are 8.5 metres long and 68 cm wide. The number of rolls you need depends on the ceiling height of your room and the wallpaper’s pattern repeat. Feel free to use our wallpaper calculator on each wallpaper you are interested in to work out how many rolls you need.

Please note that each order is printed to order, which means a new batch is produced for every order. It is therefore important not to order too few rolls, as there may be a shade difference and slight pattern variation between different batches. If you need to order additional rolls from a new batch, we recommend changing batch in a corner.

Why doesn’t the wallpaper look like it does in the pictures?

Sometimes the colours shown in wallpaper images differ from reality. Also keep in mind that different screens and image formats can affect colour reproduction. To get the right shades, we therefore recommend ordering a Sample first.

Linen is also a natural product, which means the threads may vary in thickness, colour and texture. Small knots, colour variations or areas where the threads are more tightly or loosely set may occur.

Is the wallpaper wipeable?

The wallpaper can be wiped with a wet cellulose sponge during hanging.

The material and craftsmanship

From linen to finished wallpaper

Our linen wallpapers are made from carefully selected, long-fibre linen yarn from Belgium or Normandy. The material is prepared in Kinna using traditional techniques before the patterns are printed with great care at our factory in Borås. 

The result is a wallpaper with natural texture, soft variations and a vibrant, textile feel that gives walls a truly distinctive character.
