Wallpaper - Acorn Street

Our Acorn Street wallpaper brings a historic cityscape perspective into the home, focusing on a glowing black vintage street lamp mounted against a textured red brick wall. Created by Tono Balaguer, the composition features bold "BOSTON" lettering and warm shadows that stretch across the masonry, giving the scene an authentic architectural character. Rich rust, terracotta, and earthy brick tones establish a warm, grounded visual anchor that works particularly well when given a full wall to set the mood of a room. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure based on your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a home office or a dedicated study, where the architectural details and warm brick tones create an inviting, contemplative environment. The scale of the vintage street lamp and the masonry benefits from a relatively open wall, allowing the shadow lines and typography to be seen without being cut off by tall bookcases or bulky storage units.

Because the scene contains strong directional light and deep cast shadows, it pairs naturally with rooms that have controlled ambient light or warm evening lamps. On a feature wall behind a desk or reading chair, the mural wallpaper adds depth and the feeling of an authentic urban exterior brought indoors. In open floor plans, giving this design a dedicated accent wall establishes a clear visual zone while keeping the surrounding space grounded.

Styling it

The strong brick texture and vintage metalwork in our wallpaper call for simple, considered furnishings that do not compete with the architectural motif.

• Choose darker wood finishes like walnut or stained ash for desks, shelving, and chairs to balance the deep shadows in the masonry.
• Incorporate matte black metal details in reading lamps or desk hardware to visually connect with the iron street lantern.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in quiet, neutral textiles so the focus remains on the brick detail.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by warm rust, deep earthy reds, weathered terracotta tones, and the deep black of the cast-iron lamp and typography.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, or cabinetry, warm charcoal or deep muted graphite picks up on the ironwork and dark lettering without overpowering the room. For a softer, lighter approach, a warm linen or muted stone paint tone on adjacent walls keeps the space bright while complementing the mortar between the bricks. Dark espresso finishes and aged bronze accents also work harmoniously alongside the earthy red palette.
