A dark green is one of the most enveloping colours you can put on a wall. Forest, emerald, deep bottle green — these are the shades with real depth and drama, the greens that turn a room into something handsome, cocooning and quietly luxurious. Dark green has the richness of a jewel and the calm of the natural world at once, which is a rare and lovely combination. It makes a design glow, it flatters warm metals and woods, and it never feels anything less than grown-up.
At Claret & Key, that deep green is yours to make exactly right. Because every design is printed to order, you choose the precise depth — a rich forest, a vivid emerald, a near-black bottle green — and any of our designs can be made in it. Made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Why dark green works
Deep green has a wonderful duality: it's dramatic yet restful, rich yet grounding. As a dark ground it makes the detail of a design — a floral, a leaf, a bird — really sing, glowing under lamplight. And it's more liveable than you might think, behaving almost like a deep neutral. It pairs beautifully with warm brass and gold, natural woods, blush pink and crisp white, bringing both drama and a settled, natural calm.
Where dark green wallpaper works
Dark green suits rooms you want to feel rich and enveloping. In a living room, it's handsome and cocooning, especially by lamplight. In a study or library, it feels considered and timeless. A dining room in deep green feels elegant and full of occasion. And a cloakroom is the perfect place to be bold with a saturated forest or emerald. In a smaller room, dark green feels intimate rather than cramped.
Choosing your green
Because we print to order, the exact tone is yours — a deep forest, a jewel-like emerald, or a near-black bottle green. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Dark green transforms under lamplight, so order a sample and see your shade by day and by evening before you commit.

Fabulous wallpaper and excellent customer service. This Bronte wallpaper has given my kitchen a new lease of life. Will definitely buy from here again.
This beautiful wallpaper is in my foyer and it sets off the tone of the whole house. In the neighboring dining room I’ve hung Thibaut Iggy wallpaper and the two rooms blend seamlessly.
Excellent!
First Class wallpaper, easy application, the print is exceptional, new it would be ideal for my coffee corner of my new kitchen , arrived well packaged and on time , would highly recommend
This paper was so easy to install! I have used all three types of paper and will never go back to anything but paste the wall. The patterns were correct and easy to Mark and to match and the colors were as true as my samples. This company has been great to deal with and will use them again in the future.
Love this wallpaper! Second time purchasing a Claret & Key wallpaper. The quality is outstanding! The paper is thick and goes on so easily, works great for those new to wallpapering or DIY. The colors are super bright and amazing. They are my go-to wallpaper company now!
I love the quality of this paper, it was easy to cut and correct where I had made mistakes. Its high end vintage style is timeless in my daughter’s bedroom. I love it and will use this brand again!! Thank you so much 🤍🤍
Looks beautiful in my dining room and in a cabinet that I brought in during the remodel. The service was great and came quickly. The paper was easy to install. The only thing I am noticing is that it is pulling up in places. It might be the textured wall that is causing the issues. A high quality paper and I would definitely order again.
Only started with one wall and I’ve decided to do my entire room. It is so stunning and cozy. It made my bedroom look like it’s from a different planet. I bought two more rolls for the room. I am so excited to get those when they arrive !
Love the wall paper. Easy to hang, and I love the fact that you can change the background colours, which for me makes it bespoke. I have recommended to a friend.
Absolutely gorgeous and high quality wallpaper. We got samples from multiple brands and I could tell just by the feel of this one how high quality it is.
The print is a total Florida vibe. It feels vintage, tropical, very old Florida. The 'summer' color way feels bright but isn't overwhelming. Truly love this wallpaper.
Ordered 2 rolls, managed in one roll. Quickest and easiest wallpaper I’ve put up. Hardly any wastage due to repeating pattern. Got a refund for the roll I didn’t use within a few days of returning also. When returning I emailed C&K for instructions and was given promptly and clearly. Would recommend and would buy again.
I've never worked with peel & stick wallpaper before. It was a little tricky to get use to, but I got the hang of it & the process went smoothly! It's sticking great, weeks later, no peeling anywhere! I absolutely love how this print transformed my dining room!
