About This Design
Mustard canopies stretch into wide, flat-topped tiers, each built from thick impasto strokes that catch light along their upper edges. Dark teal trunks twist up beneath them and split into a lattice of fine branches, so the crowns look held rather than simply placed. Behind the trees, pale grey mist and faint mountain contours soften the ground into something almost weightless. Trees of different heights share the repeat, tall ones rising through the tiers of smaller ones, which creates a layered, forest-like depth. At a distance the mustard reads as bands of sunlit leaf over a cool, shadowed base. Up close, the strokes lift into ridges you can follow one by one. Within Ancient Giants, Heartwood is the most sunlit design in the collection.
The Inspiration
Heartwood is named for the dense, dark centre of a tree, the part that keeps holding its weight long after the outer layers have changed with every season. This design looks at that idea from the outside: sun-drenched leaves above, solid trunk below. Mustard was chosen for the colour of leaf in full light, deep teal for bark in shade. Between them sits a pairing as simple as the tree itself, what grows and what holds it up.
What It Carries
Heartwood carries a sense of quiet strength. The mustard brightens its surroundings without raising its voice, while the teal underneath steadies the pattern with a deep, even weight. It suits spaces that want warmth that feels earned rather than applied, somewhere that welcomes people and then lets them settle. The stacked canopies create a gentle upward rhythm that keeps the eye moving, and the thick impasto detail rewards every closer look. It is a design for people who trust what lasts.
Design Size Options
This design is available in three layout scales:
Grand: A larger-scale composition that reads with authority wherever the pattern needs room to show itself.
Classic: A balanced, repeated layout with natural structure and rhythm. Works across most applications.
Detailed: A fine-scale repeat where the impasto texture becomes the surface itself. Suits any project where the pattern is seen up close.
Style tip: Mark out a small section on your planned project surface to see how the Detailed scale reads in your space. That preview will show you exactly how the texture and rhythm land before you commit to a size.
