Wallpaper - Forest Floor I Plum

Our Forest Floor I Plum wallpaper by Sarah Adams brings together soft plum tones, deep burgundy, and organic abstract shapes inspired by the quiet floor of a woodland. The design carries the visual depth of oil paint layered with the subtle appearance of weathered plaster and stucco, giving the surface a warm, grounded character. We make our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, making it straightforward to introduce rich, artistic depth to your home.

In the room

The deep burgundy and plum palette gives our design a quiet, enveloping atmosphere that works beautifully across spaces meant for retreat or intimate conversation. In a bedroom or guest room, we see this working well behind a low headboard where the abstract oil-painted forms can spread upward across the wall. In a home office, library, or den, the darker tones create a focused backdrop that pairs naturally with low-sheen shelving and quiet reading corners.

Because the forms are abstract and organic rather than sharply defined, the pattern adapts easily to both larger uninterrupted walls and more compact spaces like an entry, dressing room, or powder room. In an entryway or powder room, wallpapering all surrounding walls creates a rich, jewel-box effect where the warm plum tones feel intentional and complete. For an open dining room or living room, we often prefer placing it on a primary feature wall where the painted visual texture anchors the seating or dining area without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The artistic, plaster-like look of this design sits comfortably between heritage aesthetics and contemporary wabi-sabi interiors. To balance the depth of the plum and burgundy tones, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes simple and grounded.

• Pair with warm, dark woods such as walnut or smoked oak to reinforce the earthy depth of the forest-inspired palette.
• Introduce unpolished stone, matte ceramics, or blackened metal hardware to echo the weathered, plaster-like visual texture.
• Use low-sheen upholstery in natural linen or wool in muted neutrals to let the rich wall murals carry the visual weight of the space.

Color combinations

The core palette in our wallpaper centers on warm plum, deep burgundy, and soft earthy undertones. When choosing colors for surrounding trim, adjacent walls, or cabinetry, we like working with muted tones that either harmonize with or soften that rich base.

Deep charcoal, muted aubergine, and blackened brown bring out the moodier qualities of the design, working particularly well on interior doors, baseboards, or built-in bookshelves. For a softer balance on neighboring walls or large ceiling areas, soft chalky whites, warm mushroom, or muted taupe provide a gentle contrast that keeps the room feeling warm and cohesive rather than stark.
