Wallpaper - Acorn Street

Our Acorn Street wallpaper brings a classic urban atmosphere indoors, pairing a glowing black vintage street lamp with a rustic red brick wall. The dark "BOSTON" lettering stands out clearly against the weathered brickwork, while warm rust, orange, and earthy terracotta tones create a sense of architectural depth and quiet nostalgic character. Captured by photographer Tono Balaguer, this wall mural works beautifully to ground a space with historic charm and rich architectural texture. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see our Acorn Street design working particularly well as an accent wall in a dedicated home office, study, or reading room. The vertical form of the lantern and the horizontal rhythm of the brickwork give the scene a strong focal point that naturally draws the eye without overwhelming the entire space. Because the composition carries distinct graphic detail and pronounced shadows, we suggest giving it an open, relatively uninterrupted wall area, such as behind a desk or alongside a low bookshelf, where the street lamp and signage remain fully visible. In rooms with warm ambient lighting, the amber glow of the lantern and the deep rust tones of the brick take on an especially cosy feel.

Styling it

To let the graphic urban character of this mural wallpaper take centre stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings simple, grounded, and texturally rich:

• Complement the brick tones with warm, mid-to-dark wood furniture, such as a walnut or stained timber desk, which echoes the historic architectural mood of the scene.
• Introduce black metal accents in desk lamps, iron hardware, or minimalist shelving to visually pick up on the silhouette of the vintage street lantern.
• Balance the heavy visual weight of the brickwork by styling with soft textiles, such as a textured wool rug or muted upholstery in charcoal or warm grey.

Colour combinations

The palette of this design is defined by rich terracotta, rust orange, and weathered red-brown brick, contrasted by the deep black of the lantern and lettering. When decorating around this wallpaper, we recommend pulling out deep charcoal, soft black, or muted graphite for woodwork, window frames, or adjacent trim to create a crisp, tailored frame. For surrounding painted walls, warm off-whites, soft biscuit tones, or gentle stone greys work exceptionally well, providing a neutral backdrop that lets the warm earthy tones of the brickwork stand out naturally.
