Olive and khaki are green at its most grounded. Where sage is cool and mint is fresh, these are the warm, earthy, slightly golden greens — the colour of olive groves, of dried grasses, of a landscape in late summer. There's a natural, organic richness to them that feels both relaxed and sophisticated. Olive and khaki bring a room warmth and depth without the drama of a dark green, and they have a wonderful way of making a space feel settled, calm and quietly elegant.
At Claret & Key, that earthy green is yours to make exactly right. Because every design is printed to order, you choose the precise tone — a soft khaki, a rich olive, a deep, muted moss — and any of our designs can be made in it. Made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Why olive and khaki work
Their warmth is the secret. The golden, brownish undertone in olive and khaki makes them feel cosy and organic, more like a warm neutral than a bold colour. They flatter natural woods and rattan, warm creams and terracotta, and burnished brass and gold, and they let earthy florals, leaves and grasses feel utterly at home. Olive and khaki bring the calm of the natural world with a grown-up, relaxed warmth.
Where olive and khaki wallpaper works
These shades suit rooms you want to feel warm and grounded. In a living room, olive brings a settled, sophisticated depth. In a bedroom, a soft khaki feels calm and cocooning. In a study or snug, it's handsome and restful. And in a hallway, it makes a warm, characterful welcome. Their earthy warmth makes them a lovely choice for a room you want to feel relaxed and lived-in.
Choosing your shade
Because we print to order, the exact tone is yours — a soft, pale khaki, a rich olive, or a deep, muted moss green. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Earthy greens shift beautifully with the light, so order a sample and see your shade in the room, morning and evening, before you commit.

Great quality wallpaper! The print is beautiful, the wallpaper is thick, and fairly easy to install. Our small area took about an hour and a half because we had a lot of of awkward cuts.
Will definitely be using this brand again!
The paper was just hung and we are thrilled.
The quality of the paper, ease of working with it, (per the paper hangers), your customer service, all were exceptional. We will be ordering again. Thank you!!
Fabulous wallpaper and excellent customer service. This Bronte wallpaper has given my kitchen a new lease of life. Will definitely buy from here again.
This beautiful wallpaper is in my foyer and it sets off the tone of the whole house. In the neighboring dining room I’ve hung Thibaut Iggy wallpaper and the two rooms blend seamlessly.
Excellent!
First Class wallpaper, easy application, the print is exceptional, new it would be ideal for my coffee corner of my new kitchen , arrived well packaged and on time , would highly recommend
The wallpaper arrived quickly. I’m delighted with my pattern choice. It’s absolutely stunning. The paper was such good quality and was a joy to hang. Completely transformed our room. Will be ordering again
This paper was so easy to install! I have used all three types of paper and will never go back to anything but paste the wall. The patterns were correct and easy to Mark and to match and the colors were as true as my samples. This company has been great to deal with and will use them again in the future.
Love this wallpaper! Second time purchasing a Claret & Key wallpaper. The quality is outstanding! The paper is thick and goes on so easily, works great for those new to wallpapering or DIY. The colors are super bright and amazing. They are my go-to wallpaper company now!
I love the quality of this paper, it was easy to cut and correct where I had made mistakes. Its high end vintage style is timeless in my daughter’s bedroom. I love it and will use this brand again!! Thank you so much 🤍🤍
Looks beautiful in my dining room and in a cabinet that I brought in during the remodel. The service was great and came quickly. The paper was easy to install. The only thing I am noticing is that it is pulling up in places. It might be the textured wall that is causing the issues. A high quality paper and I would definitely order again.
Only started with one wall and I’ve decided to do my entire room. It is so stunning and cozy. It made my bedroom look like it’s from a different planet. I bought two more rolls for the room. I am so excited to get those when they arrive !
Love the wall paper. Easy to hang, and I love the fact that you can change the background colours, which for me makes it bespoke. I have recommended to a friend.
