Wallpaper - Leaves of Rust

Our Leaves of Rust wallpaper captures a dense carpet of autumn foliage, where rich maple leaves scatter across an earthy sunflower yellow background. Designed by Ludmila Shumilova, this nature-inspired pattern layers warm red, rust, and golden yellow tones to create an organic, textured visual rhythm. The pointed tips and jagged silhouettes of the fallen leaves overlap naturally, giving the wall depth and seasonal character without feeling rigid. Produced to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a grounded, warm atmosphere to any interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in an entryway or living room where you want to introduce warmth and visual texture. In a hallway or entrance, the scattered foliage creates an inviting transition from the outdoors, working nicely along narrow walls or near coat hooks where the pattern adds interest without needing large stretches of empty wall. In a living room, we would place this wallpaper across a main wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Because the leaves form an all-over, organic ground cover rather than a single pictorial focal point, the repeat handles interruptions from furniture, doorways, and wall lighting effortlessly.

Styling it

Because the wallpaper has a rich distribution of warm tones, we suggest balancing it with quiet, solid furnishings that let the foliage breathe.

• Pair with warm, natural timber such as mid-tone oak or walnut to complement the earthy undertones of the design.
• Choose upholstered seating in neutral, unpatterned woven fabrics to prevent visual competition with the layered leaves.
• Introduce understated black metal accents in lighting or hardware to ground the golden yellow hues and define the room's outlines.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a vibrant base of sunflower yellow, interwoven with rust red, burnt orange, and warm earthy ochres. When planning the rest of the room, we suggest keeping adjacent walls in soft off-whites, muted warm stone, or pale biscuit to keep the space bright. For trims and skirting boards, a deeper earthy terracotta or warm charcoal can provide a crisp, considered frame that echoes the darker leaves within the motif.
