Wallpaper - Jump Dark Leaves

Designed by Cheryl Warrick, our Jump Dark Leaves wallpaper brings rhythmic abstract forms together with a screenprint-inspired texture. Set against a deep, dark ground, overlapping leaf-like shapes are constructed from dashed, textured marks in muted ochre-yellow, teal blue and soft off-white. The graphic repetition and layered marks give the composition a mid-century character with a distinct mid-century modern feel. Printed made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates an expressive, art-led focal point across any wall.

In the room

In a living room, we see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall behind a sofa or media unit, where the large repeating ovals have ample uninterrupted space to display their visual rhythm. The deep background lends the room an intimate, enveloping atmosphere, while the dotted horizontal linework prevents the dark palette from feeling heavy or flat. Because the pattern relies on high contrast between the dashed motifs and the dark field, it also holds its presence nicely in a meditation room or quiet lounge area where softer, ambient lighting lets the teal and muted yellow accents stand out gently.

Styling it

To complement the graphic, retro-inspired aesthetic of the print, we would lean towards mid-century modern or contemporary minimalist furnishings with clean silhouettes. Low-profile seating in neutral textured fabrics lets the wall carry the primary visual interest without competing for attention.

Warm timber pieces, such as teak, walnut or rich oak coffee tables and sideboards, connect naturally with the earthy yellow tones in the pattern while balancing the darker teal and charcoal backdrop. We recommend keeping decorative accents simple and uncluttered, perhaps introducing matte black metal details or understated ceramic vessels to echo the print's handcrafted, screenprinted look.

Colour combinations

The motif is anchored by a dark charcoal base, layered with muted teal, dusty ochre-yellow and soft off-white markings. When planning surrounding walls, we suggest pulling directly from these tones:

• Soft warm whites or pale greys on adjacent walls keep the space open while harmonising with the lighter dashes in the print.
• Deep teal or dark charcoal paint on woodwork and trims creates a bold, seamless look that extends the mood of the wallpaper.
• Muted mustard or warm ochre accents in cushions or throws subtly echo the warm leaf shapes across the room.
