About This Collection
This collection takes in whole landscapes rather than single plants, and it falls into four strands. The forests and mountains are the backbone. The Natural Forest Print is the best seller in the collection, followed by the Kyoto Forest Reserve Print and the Japanese Cedar Forest Print. The Layered Mountains Print and the Moonlit Forest Print take things into dusk and distance. A good forest print has a useful trick: it makes a wall look further away than it is.
The water and waves strand runs from still ponds to open sea. The Koi Fish Shoal Print and the Water Ripples Print are the calmest pieces here, while the Hokusai Wave Exhibition Print and the Ocean Studies Cornwall prints bring in more movement. For more sea air, the coastal prints collection picks up where this strand leaves off.
The birds and wildlife prints favour long necks and a lot of patience. The Flying Cranes Print is the second best seller, and the Two Herons Print, the Spoonbill, White Stork and Flamingo Among the Reeds prints follow the same elegant line. The Resting Tigers and King of the Sea Octopus prints add a bit of weight, and the Nice Tits Bird Print and Nice Beaver Print are here for the birdwatcher with a sense of humour.
The woodland and seasons strand is the cosiest. The William Morris hedgehog, fox, deer and barn owl prints live here as well as in the William Morris prints collection, alongside the Woodland Bunny Storybook Print, mushroom prints, autumn folk prints of acorns and pumpkins, and the Cherry Blossom Torii Print for spring. The Petrichor Definition Print names the smell of rain on dry ground, which is about as close as a print gets to weather. There's also a small posse of cowboy cats and cowgirl ducks looking out over canyons, which technically counts as landscape.
If you prefer plants to panoramas, the botanical prints collection and the Japanese prints collection both have more in a similar spirit.
What rooms suit nature wall art?
Living rooms suit the big views. A Layered Mountains or Natural Forest print at A2 or A1 gives a sofa wall depth, and sits comfortably with wood, linen and plants.
Bedrooms suit the quieter water and night scenes. The Moonlit Forest Print, the Water Ripples Print and the crane and heron prints are calm enough to be the last thing you see before sleep.
Home offices benefit more than most rooms. A forest or mountain print above a desk is a small, daily act of resistance against the screen, and the Mountain Forms Alpine Print is a clean, graphic option for a working wall.
For gallery walls, pick one thread and let it run: three Japanese nature prints, or a forest, a river and a bird. They also mix well with pieces from the green wall art collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is nature wall art?
Nature wall art is any print where the outdoors is the subject: forests, mountains, rivers, seas, skies, birds and wild animals. In this collection that ranges from Japanese woodblock-style landscapes and exhibition-poster seascapes to storybook woodland scenes and graphic mountain studies.
What's the difference between nature and botanical prints?
Botanical prints focus on individual plants, usually a leaf, flower or stem studied up close. Nature prints pull back to show the bigger scene: the whole forest, the mountain range, the heron standing in the reeds. Some prints sit in both collections, but if you want a view rather than a specimen, you're in the right place.
Are nature prints good gifts?
Nature inspired prints are an easy gift for walkers, gardeners, birdwatchers and anyone who is happiest outside. The forest prints and mountain scenes suit people who've just moved somewhere with less green than they'd like, and the bird prints suit anyone who owns binoculars and uses them.

What sizes are available?
Most prints are available in sizes from 5x7 up to A1, with both metric and US paper sizes. Full size options are shown on each individual product page. Landscape prints and forest scenes benefit from A2 or A1 in living rooms, where the view has space to open up, while bird prints work well at A4 or A3 in bedrooms and hallways.
Can all prints be ordered framed?
Yes. All prints can be ordered framed. We're rolling framed options out across the site, so individual listings will show whether a framed version is currently available. If you'd like a framed version of a print that doesn't yet have that option listed, get in touch and we'll sort it for you.
What is the print quality like?
Prints are produced on FSC-certified 200gsm fine art paper using a 12-colour press with a matte, glare-free finish. The layered greens and blues in the forest and water prints rely on accurate colour, and the 12-colour process keeps the distance in a landscape reading as distance rather than a flat block.
Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?
