Wallpaper - Jump Dark Leaves

Created by artist Cheryl Warrick, our Jump Dark Leaves wallpaper brings together mid-century graphic rhythm and expressive abstract mark-making. Overlapping leaf silhouettes are built from rhythmic dash-like strokes with a screenprint-inspired look, layered in ochre-gold, teal, and muted white against a solid dark charcoal backdrop. The repeating elliptical forms create an energetic visual cadence across the wall while maintaining a considered balance between positive texture and deep negative space. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper that gives the print a refined finish.

In the room

In a living room, we see Jump Dark Leaves working exceptionally well on a main feature wall behind a sofa or along a wide, uninterrupted wall area where the full rhythm of the repeating leaves can unfold. The dark background gives the wall substantial visual depth, while the vibrant teal and ochre dashed forms keep the surface lively and animated.

Because the geometric leaves carry a bold presence, giving the wallpaper space to breathe allows the individual print textures to be appreciated from across the room as well as up close. In a dedicated meditation room or quiet lounge area, the rhythmic repetition creates an immersive, contemplative atmosphere when wrapped around adjacent walls.

Styling it

To balance the graphic character of the motif, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with mid-century modern or contemporary furniture featuring clean, unornamented silhouettes. Low-profile credenzas and seating with simple geometric frames allow the patterned wall behind them to remain the focal point.

For materials, warm medium woods like teak or warm walnut resonate naturally with the retro feel of the artwork, while matte black metal accents echo the deep charcoal background. Keeping surrounding upholstery and textiles relatively quiet in solid tones ensures the expressive screenprinted markings on the wall stand out clearly.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is defined by a deep dark charcoal base, accented by teal blue, muted ochre, and off-white dash marks.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, charcoal or soft off-white offers a crisp, tailored framework that draws directly from the artwork. If you want to carry the wallpaper's palette further into the room, consider using muted teal or warm ochre accents through occasional seating, cushions, or decorative ceramics to create subtle visual connections across the space.
