Wallpaper - Samarkand Ferns, Brick Red

Our Samarkand Ferns wallpaper in Brick Red, designed by E. A. Séguy, brings together bold geometric structure and stylized botanical forms. Set against a deep brick red ground, vertical rectangular panels outlined with fine white dotted lines frame stylized fern fronds and spiraling leaves rendered in muted denim blue, dark navy, and creamy off-white. The block-print-inspired character and rhythmic, grid-like composition give the pattern a refined Art Nouveau aesthetic with a decorative graphic edge. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The structured vertical panels and rich earthy palette make this design an engaging choice for spaces where you want architectural interest. In a living room or a dedicated home library, we would consider using it across a primary feature wall or extending it around the entire room to create an enveloping, heritage-inspired atmosphere. The repeating vertical columns create an impression of height, which works particularly well along walls framed by high ceilings, panel moulding, or built-in bookshelves. Because the pattern carries strong contrast between the deep brick red background and the pale cream details, it holds its definition beautifully under warm, ambient evening lamps as well as diffused daylight.

Styling it

We recommend letting the strong decorative geometry of the wallpaper guide the rest of the interior. Mid-century or classic furniture in warm, mid-to-dark wood finishes, such as walnut or aged oak, complements the earthy undertones of the red ground. To balance the rhythmic lines of the fern panels, introduce seating upholstered in solid, textured textiles like bouclé or matte velvet rather than competing small-scale patterns. Deep patinated brass accents or muted black metal elements on lighting fixtures and table legs provide a crisp, modern counterpoint to the vintage Art Nouveau spirit of the motif.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a distinctive triad of rich brick red, dusty denim blue, and soft cream, grounded by dark navy panels. When planning adjacent walls and trim, warm off-white or soft linen shades offer a calm, natural pairing that draws out the creamy leaf highlights. For a deeper, more tailored contrast, rich navy or slate blue paint on doors and window architraves echoes the inner panel tones. If you prefer a seamless, monochrome feel, pairing the wallpaper with muted terracotta or rust-toned accents throughout the room enriches its earthy warmth.
