Wallpaper - Early October

Our Early October wallpaper brings together the warmth and movement of an expressive abstract landscape, created by Silvia Vassileva. Broad, painterly brushstrokes evoke trees filled with rich autumn foliage in shades of orange, burnt orange, red and yellow, set against a pale blue sky layered with soft white clouds. Earthy greens, deep browns and terracotta tones blend across the ground, giving the composition a grounded, rhythmic depth. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an inviting, art-led focal point for modern and heritage-inspired spaces alike.

In the room

Because the composition has such strong horizontal balance and visual rhythm, we think this design works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing it behind a main sofa allows the broad landscape horizon to unfold naturally across the space. It also works beautifully in a bedroom as a warm, painterly backdrop behind a headboard, or in a quiet home library or study where the rich seasonal tones create an enveloping, contemplative atmosphere. Giving the mural room to breathe helps the sweeping brushwork and layered tree forms make their full visual impact.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes and warm materiality, allowing the artwork to provide the primary visual movement in the room.

• Choose warm mid-tone or darker wood furniture, such as walnut, teak or warm-stained timber, which naturally echoes the earthy browns and rich undertones in the lower half of the landscape.
• Introduce plain, unpatterned upholstery in textured weaves or soft boucle to balance the dynamic brushwork without competing for attention.
• Incorporate subtle accents in antique brass or darkened bronze on lighting and hardware, complementing the golden yellow and burnt orange highlights in the canopy.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich autumnal tones, including vibrant orange, burnt orange, warm golden yellow and deep red, balanced by earthy browns, muted olive greens, pale blue and soft white. When decorating around this design, we suggest drawing out the lighter, cooler sky tones with off-white, warm stone or soft chalky grey on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a moodier, more cohesive look, deep forest green, terracotta or a rich umber on surrounding architectural details will tie directly into the landscape's grounded base.
