Jal Mahal – Royal Fairy-Tale Wallpaper – Multi

Jal Mahal takes its name from an Indian water palace, and depicts its arches, domes and carved architecture alongside animal and mythical-creature figures drawn in a whimsical, storybook style.

The scene includes elephants, giraffes, a peacock and a tiger, alongside birds and a cast of dressed animal figures — among them a horse with an ornately dressed rider — set among round-topped trees, flowers and brick paths leading to a domed palace building.

On Multi, the palace and foliage sit in deep olive green against a soft neutral background, with the palace building and flowers picked out in pink — the more colour-varied of the two Jal Mahal colourways.

Jal Mahal is a non-woven, paste-the-wall wallpaper, and should be a straightforward hang for a confident DIYer, or a quick job for a decorator. It's a straight match, so drops line up square without extra allowance for offsetting the pattern. It's rated washable, so dirt and marks can be carefully cleaned off with a damp cloth, and it's designed to strip back off dry when it's time for a change.
