Botanical themed wall art: How to style your Pilea & Fig Tree Poster
Are you longing to bring more greenery and harmony into your home? A botanical wall art is a timeless way to create a vibrant space. In this post, we guide you through how to style our best-selling Pilea poster – a unique illustration that combines the playfulness of an Elephant Ear with the elegance of a Fig Tree.
1. Find the balance between organic and minimalist
Our Pilea & Fig Tree is loved for its distinctive, arching leaves and sculptural lines. The motif is a hard-to-define hybrid that gives a modern and sophisticated impression. To create a professional feel on the wall, combine it with motifs that have a different scale.
Styling tip: Pair the large Pilea poster (e.g. 50x70 cm) with smaller, clean line drawings or abstract shapes in muted pastels. It gives the eye a place to rest and highlights the craftsmanship of the hand-drawn details from my studio in Österskär.
2. Create dynamics with different frames
The choice of framing changes the entire character of the design. Since the Pilea illustration has an inherent bohemian undertone, you can control the style depending on the material:
Oak frames: Reinforces the natural feel and craftsmanship heritage of Roslagen.
Black frame: Creates a modern, graphic contrast that makes the soft green tones of the leaves really "pop".
Wooden poster frame: Perfect for a relaxed and minimalist look that feels both airy and modern.
3. Mix textures for a vibrant home
A picture wall is about more than just paper; it's about atmosphere. Place your picture on a shelf alongside live plants, rustic ceramics and hand-picked interior details.
As you can see in our environmental images, the hand-drawn lines are beautifully softened by natural elements like olive branches and the texture of a tiled wall or a dark wooden shelf. This creates a depth in the interior that feels personal, inspiring and genuine.
4. The craftsmanship behind it: Quality that you can feel
When you choose a poster from Tove Malm Illustration, you choose a piece of sustainable craftsmanship. Each motif is printed on 200g matte, acid-free artist paper. This means you get a luxurious, glare-free finish, where every brushstroke and fineliner line from the original is preserved with perfect luster year after year.
