Wallpaper - Gathering Acorns

Created by Yvette St. Amant, our Gathering Acorns wallpaper brings a whimsical woodland motif to life with artistic folk details. At the center, a deep burgundy squirrel is decorated with delicate white floral line work, surrounded by scattered acorns, warm golden-orange oak leaves, and soft green leafy sprigs. A subtle cream background with faint white botanical outlines provides a calm foundation that lets the illustrated elements stand out. Printed as PVC-free wall murals tailored to your exact measurements, this design pairs playful charm with a grounded, earthy palette.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a nursery, toddler room, or playroom where its storybook character can set an imaginative tone. The balanced placement of the squirrel, foliage, and acorns gives the wall visual interest without feeling overwhelming. On a main feature wall behind a crib, low bed, or reading bench, the motif creates an inviting focal point while leaving plenty of room for surrounding wall space. Because the pattern relies on warm, natural tones over a light cream backdrop, it also sits comfortably across multiple walls in a compact bedroom or dedicated play corner without dominating the space.

Styling it

We would pair this wallpaper with simple, characterful furnishings that echo its heritage folk charm. Natural warm wood tones, such as honey pine or light birch, complement the golden leaves and earthy details beautifully. To keep the focus on the illustrated artwork, we suggest opting for unpatterned bedding, curtains, and rugs in soft cream, muted rose, or warm oatmeal. Painted furniture in antique white or a soft sage green helps anchor the room, creating a cohesive, cozy interior that feels thoughtfully curated rather than busy.

Color combinations

Our design centers around rich burgundy, warm mustard orange, soft sage green, and light acorn brown set against a pale cream backdrop. When decorating the rest of the space, we recommend drawing from these warm accents. Painting adjacent walls, wainscoting, or trim in a soft ivory, gentle linen, or warm putty maintains an airy, light-filled environment. For a deeper, cozier mood in a bedroom or reading nook, pulling out the earthy burgundy or muted leaf green for painted woodwork or accent pillows provides a striking, harmonious connection to the wallpaper.
