Wallpaper - Chamelion Burnt Orange

Our Chamelion Burnt Orange wallpaper, designed by Nina Leth, combines expressive wildlife illustration with a warm, textile-inspired background. The pattern features chameleons perched along winding branches, surrounded by delicate foliage, small berries, and fluttering moths. Set against a soft blush pink backdrop with a subtle woven visual texture, the earthy burnt orange and slate blue-grey tones give the motif an artistic, heritage-infused character. Each order is made-to-measure on PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure, making it straightforward to hang while bringing a distinctive, whimsical mood to your interior.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces where its playful details can be appreciated up close. In a bedroom or dressing room, the warm earthy palette creates an inviting, characterful backdrop behind a bed or dressing table. It also sits wonderfully in a study, library, or dining room, where the illustrated creatures and botanical elements introduce a relaxed, vintage-leaning charm.

Because the repeat has a generous vertical rhythm with curved branches and coiled tails, it works well on a focal wall without overwhelming the space. In larger rooms with good natural daylight, the gentle contrast between the blush background and the shaded orange and grey tones remains clear and balanced, while in a powder room or entryway, wallpapering across all walls creates a wonderfully immersive, storybook feel.

Styling it

To complement the hand-drawn quality and textile-like backdrop of our design, we would pair it with furniture that shares a classic or mid-century sensibility:

• Choose warm wood furniture such as vintage teak, aged oak, or dark stained timber to pick up the rich burnt orange tones in the illustration.
• Introduce natural linen or wool upholstery in neutral oat or soft terracotta to echo the design's woven visual character without competing with the motif.
• Accent with antique brass, bronze, or blackened metal hardware and lighting to enhance the heritage aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper rests on an earthy foundation of burnt orange, warm terracotta, and muted slate blue-grey, grounded by a dusty blush pink base.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we recommend soft, warm neutrals like plaster pink or warm stone to maintain a seamless, tonal flow. If you prefer a richer contrast, pulling out the deep slate blue or charcoal-grey from the branches creates a striking, sophisticated framing effect on skirtings and architraves. Deep terracotta and rusty ochre accents in cushions, ceramics, or lampshades also tie in naturally with the warm chameleon figures.
