Wallpaper - Chasing Dahlia Sepia

Our Chasing Dahlia Sepia wallpaper, created by designer Mairin Kareli, brings together an intricate tapestry of overlapping botanical leaves rendered with the detailed character of traditional etching. Set in warm, earthy tones of caramel brown and soft beige, the layered composition pairs delicate linework with varied visual textures across each foliage element to create depth and gentle movement. The historic floral repeat has an organic rhythm that feels both classic and grounded. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our mural wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallway staircases where its rhythmic botanical detail has space to unfold. In a living room, placing this design on a feature wall behind a main sofa anchors the seating area with rich, warm tones without overwhelming the space. In a primary bedroom, wrapping an accent wall behind the headboard introduces an enveloping, grounded atmosphere. Because the etching-inspired foliage repeat has a balanced, mid-scale density, it also transitions naturally across the vertical height of a hallway or open staircase wall, where the movement of the leaves can be appreciated from different vantage points.

Styling it

To complement the earthy warmth and 19th-century botanical character of our design, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accents that emphasize natural texture and classic proportions.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as honey-toned walnut, warm cherry, or aged oak, to harmonize directly with the caramel and brown tones in the motif.
• Introduce tactile upholstery in textured boucle, raw linen, or soft suede in cream, oatmeal, or muted taupe to create a comfortable contrast against the detailed linework of the wall.
• Add small accents in antiqued brass, blackened bronze, or hand-thrown ceramics to subtly reinforce the vintage, historic feel without competing with the organic leaves.

Color combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper is built around warm sepia tones, including caramel, nutty brown, soft fawn, and creamy beige. To build a cohesive room around this design, we recommend looking to surrounding painted trim, adjacent walls, or cabinetry in soft off-white, warm parchment, or light greige. For a moodier, more tailored scheme, deeper tones such as warm espresso, terracotta, or burnt umber make striking accent colors for painted woodwork or accent furniture, picking up the darkest lines within the botanical pattern.
