Wallpaper - Autumn Leaves Red

Designed by Becky Thorns, our Autumn Leaves Red wallpaper pairs bold botanical shapes with clean linear markings across a rich, terracotta-red backdrop. Crisp white leaves, some drawn with fine outlines and others filled with chalky screenprint-inspired texture, float alongside graphic striped brush blocks to create an energetic, rhythmic repeat. What we particularly like is how the high-contrast motifs give the design a modern, artistic presence on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings warm colour and expressive pattern into contemporary homes.

In the room

Because the motif carries a strong contrast between the vibrant red ground and bright white foliage, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a creative art studio, home study, or living area. In a larger room, giving the wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the playful balance of filled and outlined botanical forms to repeat without disruption. If you are decorating a meditation room or a reading corner, placing this design behind low seating creates a grounded, enveloping backdrop that feels warm rather than overpowering.

Styling it

To balance the bold graphic quality of the pattern, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, architectural silhouettes and minimal surface fuss. Warm timber tones, such as mid-century teak or light ash, sit naturally against the terracotta background without competing for attention. We would keep large upholstered pieces in quiet neutral tones, allowing the crisp botanical shapes to remain the primary visual focus of the space. Simple ceramic accents or unpolished earthenware can subtly mirror the artisanal, hand-printed character of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep burnt-orange red base and crisp, textured white motifs. To build a cohesive palette around it, soft off-white or creamy ivory on neighbouring walls and woodwork creates a clean, intentional transition that highlights the botanical outlines. For a richer, more layered interior, you can introduce earthy accents such as muted olive green, ochre, or warm cinnamon through cushions, throws, or decorative objects.
