Wallpaper - Rings of Life II

Created by Albena Hristova, our Rings of Life II wallpaper brings together painted cross sections of tree trunks, arranged across a subtle cross-hatched dark backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is how the circular growth rings vary in scale and tone, ranging from soft beige and warm amber to deep umber and weathered brown. The layered circular forms create an organic, balanced rhythm across the wall, giving the composition a grounded, tactile appearance. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper that complements the visual depth of the print.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in living rooms, studies, and home libraries where you want to introduce visual warmth and organic pattern. Because the circular tree rings vary considerably in size, giving the mural a broader, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full composition of overlapping wood slices to be seen clearly. In a living room, it makes a handsome backdrop positioned behind a low sofa or credenza. For a study or library, placing this design on a main feature wall creates a quiet, grounded atmosphere that pairs naturally with open shelving and collected books.

Styling it

To complement the rich, earthy character of the design, we suggest leaning into contemporary organic modern or refined rustic interior styles:

• Keep larger furniture pieces relatively simple in form so the round geometry of the tree rings remains the focal point of the room.
• Pair with warm natural timber, such as mid-tone oak or walnut, which echoes the authentic woodgrain tones within the artwork without competing with the motif.
• Introduce textured upholstery and cushions in brushed cotton, wool, or tactile boucle to enhance the visual softness of the space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper draws on a rich natural palette of umber, deep warm brown, tan, and creamy beige. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend using soft off-white or light putty on adjacent painted walls and woodwork to maintain an airy feel. For deeper contrast, charcoal or dark espresso accents on shelving or window frames tie directly into the dark woven background. If you wish to introduce subtle accent shades through textiles or accessories, muted olive green, terracotta, or burnt ochre harmonize effortlessly with the wood tones.
