Wallpaper - Old Manor

Our Old Manor wallpaper, designed by Alex Medvedev, brings together the rich ornamental tradition of 19th-century Arts and Crafts design and antique woven tapestries. Set against a deep, moody umber brown background, the repeating motif features stylized botanical forms, acanthus scrolls, and layered floral medallions in earthy shades of brick red, ochre gold, dusty cornflower blue, and muted sage. A subtle vintage patina in the artwork gives the composition a historic, weathered depth that feels grounded and full of character. Like all our wall murals and wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its deep backdrop and intricate vertical rhythm, we particularly like Old Manor in spaces meant to feel inviting and layered. In a living room or a dedicated home library, it establishes an enveloping, intimate atmosphere that works wonderfully across all four walls or as a focused statement behind low seating or bespoke bookshelves. The structured repeat lends a sense of height to rooms with standard or lower ceilings, guiding the eye upward along the scrolling vines. In a formal dining room or a quiet study, giving the wallpaper a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall lets the full symmetry and variety of the botanical motifs unfold naturally.

Styling it

To complement the rich heritage feel of Old Manor, we suggest pairing it with interior pieces that share its grounded warmth and artisanal character.

• Deep wood tones such as walnut, antique mahogany, or stained oak provide a natural foundation that harmonizes with the dark umber background without competing for attention.
• Upholstery in matte, tactile textiles like heavy woven linen, velvet, or textured wool in warm neutral or muted rust tones helps soften the bold repeating motif.
• Aged brass or blackened iron lighting fixtures echo the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, offering quiet metallic contrast against the darker floral patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette of this wallpaper is rooted in a dark umber brown ground, accented by earthy brick red, warm ochre, dusty blue, and soft olive tones. When choosing paint for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in joinery, we suggest looking to these existing shades to create a unified palette. A rich, earthy terracotta or muted brown-black on architraves and skirting creates a seamless, moody look. If you prefer more contrast, a soft parchment or muted warm stone lifts the space while keeping the focus firmly on the mural wallpapers.
