Wallpaper - Leaves of Rust

Our Leaves of Rust wallpaper, designed by Ludmila Shumilova, brings together a dense scatter of autumn foliage across a warm sunflower yellow backdrop. The composition is layered with maple leaves in shades of golden yellow, earthy ochre, rust orange, and deep red, with pointed tips and jagged contours that overlap organically across the surface. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between its warm, rich palette and the lively, natural rhythm of the scattered leaves. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make it easy to introduce a welcoming seasonal feel to your home.

In the room

In an entryway or hall, this wallpaper establishes an immediate sense of warmth from the moment you step inside. The dense, scattered arrangement of leaves has an organic flow that works particularly well across narrower walls or spaces broken up by doorways, where the pattern does not rely on strict symmetry to feel complete. In a living room, we see this working beautifully on a main feature wall behind a sofa or along an open dining area, where the earthy yellow and rust tones provide a rich visual anchor without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

Because the foliage pattern has plenty of movement and visual detail, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones, such as mid-toned oak or teak, to echo the organic nature of the motif. Keeping surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in solid, unpatterned fabrics allows the wallpaper to take centre stage while maintaining a balanced, cohesive look throughout the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a warm palette of sunflower yellow, rich rust, burnt orange, and earthy reds. When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls, skirting boards, or cabinetry, we recommend soft warm whites, muted biscuit tones, or gentle linen shades that let the gold and yellow base glow. For a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing on the deeper rust and earthy red tones from the leaves for accent cushions, pottery, or painted woodwork creates a wonderfully grounded atmosphere.
