Wallpaper That Don’t Just Decorate
Wall Murals That Don’t Just Decorate - They Belong
Why Your Wallpaper Should Be Born Where You Live
There’s wallpaper - and then there’s wallpaper that knows where it is.
One is generic. The other tells a story.
In homes across South Africa, we’re seeing a welcome shift away from imported florals and factory-printed designs. The reason? People are craving spaces that feel deeply personal. That speak to memory, place, and identity. And no big-box décor brand can do that the way a local designer can.
Which brings us to Lily Grace Design.
Printed in the coastal town of Hermanus, our wallpaper murals aren’t just beautiful - they’re grounded. You’ll find imagery inspired by the cliffs, the proteas, and the sea. Not trends from overseas mood boards. These murals don’t try to look like Paris, New York, or Copenhagen. They reflect Onrus Beach mornings, the Hermanus Cliff Path in bloom, and the stillness of a seaside sunrise. They belong.
That’s what sets Lily Grace apart.
Each mural is custom printed in South Africa using high-quality wallpaper for walls that actually lasts - and looks elegant doing so. The visual impact is immediate. But the emotional resonance is what lingers. Whether you’re styling an Airbnb, refreshing your guest bedroom, or simply curating a home you love coming back to, this is décor that brings a deeper sense of connection.
Not Wallpaper. Storytelling on Your Walls.
Mass-produced wallpaper is everywhere. It’s printed in bulk, designed for everyone, and remembered by no one. You might find the same floral print in Johannesburg, Munich, and Dubai.
But when you hang a mural that mirrors the cliffs of Walker Bay? Or one that brings fynbos into your hallway? That’s the kind of design that catches attention and starts conversation.
Lily Grace murals are not just scenic. They’re intimate. They connect the interior of your home to the exterior beauty of the landscape you love. And they feel natural - not themed, not over-designed, and never off-the-shelf.
We don’t just sell wallpaper for walls. We sell a way to keep Hermanus close - even if you’ve only visited once and fallen in love.
The Local Advantage: Why It Matters
When your wallpaper is designed and printed in South Africa, everything changes. You aren’t just supporting a local business - you’re investing in a cultural point of view. Our designs don’t rely on imported aesthetics. They’re born from the very soil, sky, and sea that make Hermanus and its surrounding coastline so unforgettable.
We also print in small runs, which means you won’t find our work in every guesthouse or catalogue. What you hang on your wall is rare. Intentional. Exclusive.
For homeowners, Airbnb hosts, interior designers, and boutique guesthouses - that matters. You want your rooms to feel different. Unique. Especially in a world where most décor is designed to appeal to the widest possible market.
Wallpaper for Walls That Want to Be Noticed
We know our customers aren’t just decorating. They’re curating mood. Tone. Memory.
Which is why our designs are bold but never brash. Soft but never invisible. From botanical bursts to ocean-inspired abstracts, our wallpapers work in bedrooms, lounges, entrances, and even bathrooms - anywhere that needs a touch of visual poetry.
The quality is practical, too. Easy to apply, long-lasting, and printed with care.
Explore our wallpaper and wall mural collection and choose a design that feels right not just for the room - but for you.
Why Tourists Love Our Murals (And Locals Do Too)
Hermanus is more than a holiday town. For many, it becomes a personal memory: the first whale sighting, a romantic coastal walk, a family breakfast with ocean views. Our wallpapers are often bought by people who want to keep those memories alive - in bedrooms, studies, and even offices back home.
Locals love the groundedness of the work. It’s not touristy. It’s not clichéd. It’s real.
Which is why we also offer matching cushion covers and our bestselling fleece blankets. Each one designed and printed to pair effortlessly with our mural collections.
Designed for Airbnb Hosts Who Want to Stand Out
Wallpaper can be the single design feature that makes a guest stop and say, "Wow."
It adds character to your rooms. It photographs beautifully. And when paired with our custom cushion covers and fleece blanket throws, the result is cohesive, warm, and memorable.
Your Airbnb shouldn’t look like a rental. It should feel like a retreat - a place where every element has been chosen with care.
We’ve worked with hosts throughout the Cape Whale Coast to develop looks that feel luxurious but remain affordable. Small touches, big impression.
And when guests go home and scroll through their holiday pics, guess which place they remember?
Fleece Blanket, Cushion Covers, and Wallpaper - Designed to Belong Together
One of the most popular questions we get is: "Do your cushions match the wallpaper?"
Yes. Deliberately so.
When we develop a mural, we often design a coordinating set of cushion covers and fleece blankets. That means you can carry the theme through a room without it feeling repetitive. The mix of textile and wall design creates a rich, layered look that’s comforting and expressive.
All our cushion covers are sewn from fabric custom printed just for us - not available anywhere else.
Our fleece blankets are handmade, super soft, and designed to be both comforting and elegant. Perfect for adding local personality to your space, or gifting to someone who misses the sea.
They also make unforgettable birthday gifts for her.

Wallpaper That Makes the Perfect Gift
Decor that reflects South Africa makes for meaningful, lasting birthday presents for ladies. If you’re buying for someone who loves coastal holidays, fynbos, whales, or the mountains - our designs feel like memory and luxury all at once.
Every wallpaper order is packaged with care. If you’re unsure which one to choose, gift cards are available too.
Custom Work and Wholesale Options
Lily Grace also works with boutique hotels, interior designers, and decorators looking for something specific. We do custom mural work and large-scale printing for those who want a completely original design.
Wholesale options are available on request. And yes, everything is still printed locally in Hermanus.
Final Word: What You Put on Your Walls Matters
You can decorate with trends, or you can decorate with meaning.
A wallpaper mural that belongs to your environment isn’t just a backdrop. It becomes part of your home’s personality. And when that mural is designed and printed where you live - it resonates.
Whether you’re a visitor who wants to keep the coast close, or a South African looking for decor that feels like home, Lily Grace wallpaper murals offer you something no chain store ever will: a story worth putting on your wall.
