Woodland artwork for commercial spaces

Bring the calm of the woods into the spaces you build.

Large-format woodland artwork, made on commission for hospitality, wellness and healthcare interiors. Whole-wall installations and curated print sets, shot on location to suit the space they're made for. Real photographs of real woodland, never AI scenes or stock.

Why it works

Why nature-based imagery works.

The quietest images do the most work in a room.

Woodland imagery is not decoration. Research in biophilic design, environmental psychology and healthcare architecture shows that natural scenes can lower heart rate, ease the feeling of being under pressure and support recovery. In a guest room, a treatment space or a waiting area, that is the difference between a wall people pass and a wall that settles them. I make images for exactly that purpose.

Lowers stress, steadies the room.

Natural imagery is shown to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, helping people feel calmer in demanding or clinical settings.

Builds a sense of place.

Images made minutes from the building give a room local identity, helping people feel grounded in exactly where they are.

Supports rest and recovery.

In healthcare and wellbeing spaces, woodland scenes offer visual cues of safety and growth that ease anxiety and support recovery.

Raises how the space feels.

Woodland artwork adds depth and warmth, making an interior feel considered and lifting the perceived quality of the whole space.

What I make

Two ways the woods come indoors.

Most commissions take one of two forms, depending on the wall and the room. A single statement piece or a coordinated set across a building both start the same way, with an image made for that space.

Tall trees with textured brown trunks rise in a lush forest, bluebells carpeting the ground in blue and green beneath the canopy.

Feature wall murals.

Whole-wall woodland installations, made for a named wall and printed at the scale the architecture needs. I have delivered files for single-piece work over ten metres wide without upscaling, built for the room rather than adapted to it.

Commercial wall art prints.

Coordinated sets of framed or mounted prints for multi-room and multi-site interiors, chosen to hold together across a building and roll out consistently across many.

Proven at scale

Four Center Parcs villages, wall by wall.

Center Parcs commissioned a series of panoramic woodland murals for its UK villages, each one shot on location and made as a single piece at architectural scale. The work is commissioned for every lodge across four villages and is rolling out across them now, a gradual process while the villages stay open to guests. A fifth village is in production.

Sherwood Forest
Across all 900 lodges. Largest installation 7.10 × 2.30m, single-piece wall mural.
Whinfell Forest
Across all 861 lodges. Largest installation 9.00 × 2.40m, single-piece wall mural.
Elveden Forest
Across all 900+ lodges. Two-wall installation, up to 3.42 + 3.56 × 2.30m across adjacent walls.
Longleat Forest

Every image was made for its setting and delivered at the native resolution needed to print this large. Across all my commercial work, the imagery has been installed in over 5,000 rooms and locations across the UK, every project handled directly from first brief to final file.

Also for the NHS  A curated series of framed prints for a Hertfordshire NHS GP practice group, installed across six surgery sites, chosen to bring a sense of calm to waiting rooms that can feel anxious for patients.

Selected work

Where the work lives.

My commissioned and curated woodland artwork is made for commercial interiors and installed in guest lodges, therapy spaces and healthcare environments across the UK. Clients have included Center Parcs and the NHS.

Every piece is chosen or made to suit the tone and design of the space. Where it helps, I license selected images from my own catalogue for commercial use. Where an image is not available to license, I can create a new version of the same subject.

In their words

What clients say.

The TIFFs look incredible. We're really looking forward to printing these as one-piece murals. Super-sharp, with the detail and colour profiles spot on.

We added one of Tim's woodland murals to our yoga room and it's brought a real calm to the space. Guests often pause to take it in before a session. Tim was thoughtful throughout and coordinated with our designer so the tones fit the room.

Who you work with

About Tim.

I am a professional woodland and nature photographer based in Hertfordshire. I make calming, large-format woodland prints and feature-wall installations for commercial interiors, made to suit a space's tone and purpose.

My panoramas and commercial prints are installed in eco-lodges, wellness retreats, healthcare spaces and hospitality interiors across the UK. This includes work commissioned for every lodge across four Center Parcs villages, now rolling out across them, with a fifth in production. I work directly with interior designers, marketing teams and production partners, so the images do not only look right on the wall but change how the space feels to be in.
