Wallpaper - Aster & Cranes

Our Aster & Cranes wallpaper, created by Yumeee, brings together graceful Japanese red-crowned cranes in flight among intricately layered floral blooms across a deep burgundy ground. What we particularly like about this design is the interplay between the dynamic birds with their sweeping wings and the stylised chrysanthemum blossoms, rendered in soft pink and contrasting line art with a subtle textile-inspired visual weave. The rich, earthy backdrop gives the composition an atmospheric depth that feels both dramatic and grounded. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper, it is printed on paper with a subtle physical structure and is designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in spaces where you want to create an intimate, cocooning atmosphere. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bed headboard creates an arresting focal point that frames the sleeping area without overwhelming the room. The rhythm of the cranes and the curved floral petals adds natural movement, making it equally fitting for a dressing room where the deep burgundy tones can establish an elegant, private sanctuary. Because the motif balances dense, painterly flowers with finer linear outlines, it holds up well on larger feature walls as well as across more compact, enclosed spaces where the full depth of the palette can envelop the room.

Styling it

To complement the rich tones and Asian-inspired aesthetic of our design, we suggest balancing the wall with furniture in darker woods or sleek lacquered finishes that echo the grounding red-wine backdrop. Keeping large upholstered items in neutral, muted tones allows the expressive pattern to remain the visual centrepiece.

For accessories and accents, brushed bronze or muted black metal hardware pairs naturally with the deep colourway, while simple ceramic pieces in off-white or soft rose provide a clean, contemporary counterpoint to the detailed illustrated motif.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a deep burgundy base, lifted by shades of dusky pink, soft rose, cream, and charcoal in the cranes and floral petals.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and textiles, we recommend pairing the design with muted neutrals such as warm taupe, linen beige, or soft grey-white. If you prefer a richer, more immersive scheme, deeper shades like plum, dark charcoal, or dark espresso wood finishes will highlight the dramatic earthy base of the pattern.
