Nature, Rendered: Chitrakaari’s New Wallpaper Collection Transforms Walls into Living Landscapes

In an age where the view outside our windows is often more concrete than canopy, the longing for nature’s embrace has found a new muse—your walls. Chitrakaari’s latest collection, Petals, Palms and Pixels, is an artistic homage to the wild beauty of the outdoors, offering more than just wallpaper—it delivers atmosphere, escapism, and soul.

Comprising 13 distinctive designs, the series doesn’t merely decorate walls—it redefines them. “We didn’t want it to feel like wallpaper,” says Surbhi N Bagla, founder of Chitrakaari. “We wanted to bring the feeling of a lush rainforest or a serene garden indoors—something that connects emotionally with the space.” And that it does.

The collection draws inspiration from founder Surbhi’s travels and the creative energy of chief designer Lahari Ashwin, both of whom share a deep-rooted love for the outdoors. Their vision is reflected in every brushstroke and detail—Parisian sculptures softened by floral vines, the sensual mood of Marrakech’s palm-filled gardens, or the regal calm of Indian courtyard peacocks. Each design feels like a story unfurling across the walls, rich in metaphor and memory.

What sets Petals, Palms and Pixels apart isn’t just its visual poetry. Every pattern is hand-rendered using traditional techniques—watercolour washes, layered brushwork, and pencil textures—before being digitised for modern refinement. The result is a seamless blend of old-world charm and contemporary clarity.

The materiality of the collection elevates its impact. Printed on luxurious bases like feather paper, brass-infused textures, and natural canvas, the wallpapers don’t just look premium—they feel it. Select designs are further embellished with artisanal beadwork and embroidery, each detail handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans. It’s this meeting of design and craft that gives the collection its depth—quite literally.

“We don’t believe in mass production. Customisation is at the heart of our work,” shares Surbhi. Every wallpaper undergoes a bespoke consultation and is adapted for the client’s space, ensuring no two walls are ever the same. It’s not just a backdrop—it becomes the focal point, a conversation piece.

Perfect for entrance foyers, stairwell landings, powder rooms, or even bedrooms, the designs work across transitional and intimate spaces alike. They bring softness where needed, boldness where desired, and always—an emotional connection. With earthy palettes juxtaposed with floral bursts, the collection balances quiet sophistication with nature’s wild abandon.

Chitrakaari’s Petals, Palms and Pixels isn’t just a collection—it’s a sensorial experience. These wallpapers invite you to pause, to look, and to feel. They become the windows you didn’t know your home needed, opening up to distant landscapes, forgotten memories, and a slower rhythm of life. In a world of digital noise, this is nature, delicately woven into every pixel.
