Wallpaper - Leaves Falling

Created by Silvia Vassileva, our Leaves Falling wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly abstraction to the wall through sweeping brushstrokes and rich tonal contrasts. The composition balances deep burnt orange, rust, and warm ochre against soft stone, cream, and muted grey undertones, giving the artwork a layered, oil-painted appearance. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is how the dynamic, textured strokes create movement across the canvas without feeling chaotic. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its expressive scale and painterly depth, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a main feature wall where the brushwork has space to unfold. In a dining room, placing the design alongside a dining table creates a warm, welcoming focal point that anchors the entire gathering space. It also works beautifully in a home office, den, or art studio, where the earthy palette and dynamic strokes bring visual warmth and artistic energy without overwhelming the space.

For room layout, an uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping movement and color transitions to be viewed in full. If placed behind lower furniture, such as a sideboard or low-back seating, the upper fields of cream, grey, and ochre remain clear, maintaining the wallpaper's sense of open horizon and painterly texture.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the visual hero of the room, we suggest pairing it with furniture in clean silhouettes and grounding materials. Dark timber or warm walnut furniture complements the deeper rust and dark brown brushwork, while upholstered pieces in textured linen, boucle, or soft wool echo the visual depth of the painted canvas.

Keep surrounding accessories relatively understated. Matte ceramic vessels, stoneware, or aged bronze accents pick up on the earthy tones without competing with the bold brushstrokes across the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres around rich burnt orange, warm ochre, deep terracotta, and muted charcoal-brown, balanced by neutral beige, pale cream, and cool grey undertones.

When choosing surrounding paint shades for adjacent walls, woodwork, or trim, warm stone, oatmeal, and soft off-whites allow the wall mural to blend seamlessly into the room. If you want a more cocooning feel, pulling out the deeper clay, terracotta, or warm taupe tones on neighbouring surfaces creates an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere.
