Wallpaper - Shimmering II

Designed by Tanja Smedh, our Shimmering II wallpaper brings together botanical detail and symmetrical balance across an earthy palette of rust, golden amber, and deep brown tones. Overlapping foliage unfolds from the centre in a mirrored kaleidoscope composition, layered with delicate, fine vein work that gives the foliage visual depth. The block-print-inspired aesthetic softens the formal symmetry, creating a calm and artistic presence on the wall. Produced made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a grounded yet decorative atmosphere.

In the room

Because the design relies on a symmetrical, central axis, we particularly like it on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full repeat can breathe. In a dining room, centering the motif behind a table immediately anchors the room and establishes an inviting focal point for shared meals. It also works beautifully in a living room, positioned behind a low-backed sofa so the intricate foliage pattern remains largely in view. The warm bronze and orange hues respond subtly to lighting changes, appearing rich and grounded under warm evening lamps and revealing their softer tonal nuances in natural daytime light.

Styling it

To balance the intricate line work and mirrored arrangement of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple. Mid-toned to dark timber furniture, such as walnut or stained oak, complements the deep brown and rust undertones in the print naturally. Matte black accents or antique brass fixtures create a clean dialogue with the warm metallic-looking hues without competing with the pattern. Upholstery in textured neutral weaves or smooth leather grounds the space, allowing the detailed botanical composition to remain the main visual feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself contains a rich range of rust, warm amber, muted gold, and earthy brown tones. For adjacent painted surfaces, we suggest pairing it with soft, warm stone or muted biscuit shades to keep the overall atmosphere light and balanced. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, choosing a deep chocolate brown, burnt terracotta, or warm umber for surrounding walls, woodwork, or skirtings echoes the darker shadows within the botanical layers.
