Wallpaper - Gathering Acorns

Our Gathering Acorns wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Yvette St. Amant, brings a whimsical woodland story to the wall. A central burgundy squirrel adorned with delicate white floral line art sits amongst playful acorns in soft pink and ochre, surrounded by leafy green sprigs and warm autumn foliage. A quiet cream background filled with subtle white flower outlines gives the motif a layered, folk-inspired charm. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working wonderfully in children's spaces, including nurseries, toddler bedrooms, and playrooms. The gentle rhythm of the woodland elements gives the wall plenty of character without overwhelming the space. In a nursery, we would place this wallpaper behind a cot or low shelving to anchor the room's main visual focus. For a toddler or child's bedroom, it works just as naturally across a larger feature wall or wrapped around a dedicated play corner, where the detailed botanical flourishes on the squirrel's tail can be enjoyed up close.

Styling it

The artistic, folkloric character of the illustration pairs naturally with simple, grounded furnishings that echo an English country or modern rustic mood. We would combine this mural wallpaper with warm natural wood furniture, such as pine, ash, or painted timber pieces in soft neutral shades.

To keep the room balanced, select relatively understated soft furnishings that let the wall pattern lead the interior. Simple woven cotton blankets, textured woollen rugs in warm off-white, and understated window dressings will complement the illustrative style without competing with its warm autumn charm.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around rich burgundy and warm earthy tones, supported by soft pink, mustard ochre, gentle leaf green, and a warm cream ground. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and skirting, we recommend drawing directly from these background and accent shades.

A warm ivory, soft biscuit, or muted cream on adjacent walls helps maintain a light, cohesive backdrop. If you prefer a subtle accent colour, a gentle sage green or muted rose pink taken from the foliage and acorn details creates a charming tonal harmony across painted trim, doors, or cabinetry.
