About Casart Nature Noticed Panel 1 Artistic Wallpaper
We’ve always been fascinated by nature and art history. Our Nature Noticed collection is a combination of these two studied fields.
Our Nature Noticed Panel 1 is the First in Our Series
Nature Noticed Panel 1 artistic wallpaper is our first of several new designs in the Nature Noticed series. They comprise of sketches and refined illustrations from our nature journal. We showcase them on a Gustavian-inspired, faux-paneled wall, as a gallery-display wall. Mix and match the designs and their order. Use the Bookcase Backing sizes as sections to complete a customized artistic gallery wall or wall the way you would like. See our room example below for a visual explanation.
Details of our Nature Noticed Panel 1 Design
This display concept is much like the Dutch painters used in their 17 century “cabinet of curiosities” paintings, when there was great focus on nature, life and death. Objects of natural wonder were depicted in a hyper-realistic style with optical illusion. This was all a part of philosophical reflection on the life cycle. Collected “curiosities” of nature would cause one to reflect and remember man’s place in nature with spiritual meditation.
Visual Reference for a Modern Cabinet of Curiosities During Covid
Rather than depict these illustrated observations in a traditional, trompe l’oeil style (one of our favorites), Casart Coverings takes a modernized approach on this old-world depiction. Our effort is on getting back to this type of observation of nature while being in the present moment, pausing, being still, realizing life is fleeting and to enjoy and celebrate it with others while we can. Click to read more about our inspiration for our Nature Noticed designs and how drawing in-nature sketches for the designs was our way of communing with nature during the pandemic lock down.
The Horizontal Display of the Nature Noticed 1 Panels
We offer the designs in full panel sizes, 52″ w x 96″ (8′) h, as well as separated into four individual segments that are bookcase backing size, 52″ w x 48″ h each. These segments allow you to use the design in smaller areas such as bookcase backings and backsplashes or even on a flat door to make it look paneled, but you can also mix and match and combine the designs in any order — not just as we have them on the full roll size.
Full Flexibility: Intermix • Combine and Coordinate • Create Your Own Personal Design
The Nature Noticed designs have a lot of flexibility. Create how you want them displayed and extend the width or the height with the various sections and sizes. Nature Noticed Panel 2 is the second set in a vertical format. We offer this design in a horizontal format with architectural panels that have sketches and as plain architectural panel sold separately in the Architectural Collection without any sketches. This way you can create full “faux” paneled walls and intermix the panels with the nature sketches. Click to see how you can further customize your Casart removable wallpaper panels.
UPCOMING in the series:
We look forward to adding our large-scale Nature Noticed Garden Murals. Use for an accent wall with just one 52″ wide roll. All four seasons can envelope a room in “surround-site” view.
Be on the lookout too for our coordinating Casart Décor accessory items that complement our Nature Noticed designs.
Look for other similar nature-oriented designs in our Sea Life and Botanical collections and by searching nature at this link. Search “Nature” on each category and collection page from the Shop. You’ll find that most of our designs have this subject in mind.

Since the cabinet of curiosities was a precursor to the modern art museum, click here to read our “Let’s Get Buggy with It” blog post on the fabulous Wonder exhibit that reopened the Renwick Gallery in 2015 with Jennifer Angus’ incredible display of insect-studded walls. This is a perfect example of where nature’s grossest creatures (like BroodX Cicadas of the moment 🙂 can be truly fascinating and beautiful. This Wonder exhibit also propelled the Instagram craze as being the most photographed — at the time.
