Wallpaper - Gathering Acorns

Our Gathering Acorns wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a decorative woodland scene to life with warmth and charm. A rich burgundy squirrel, detailed with delicate white floral trail motifs across its curved tail and body, sits surrounded by ochre and pink acorns with dotted caps alongside soft green and golden oak-style foliage. A subtle cream backdrop layered with fine white floral outlines gives the composition a gentle, layered depth. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a light structure in the paper, this design provides a welcoming, storybook feel.

In the room

We find this design works exceptionally well in children's spaces, nurseries, toddler rooms, and dedicated playrooms. The central squirrel motif offers an engaging focal point, making it a natural choice for a feature wall behind a cot, a low reading nook, or along a main play area. Because the background remains soft and light, the pattern can also wrap across multiple walls in a nursery without overwhelming the room, creating an immersive, playful environment where the decorative botanical details invite close viewing.

Styling it

To complement the folkloric and English country style undertones of the design, we suggest pairing it with warm, understated room elements. Natural wood furniture in honey pine, light birch, or painted off-white finishes lets the rich red-brown tones of the squirrel stand out without visual clutter. Soft, tactile textiles such as chunky knit blankets, plain washed cottons, or simple wool rugs in oatmeal and heather shades help anchor the room, keeping the focus entirely on the wallpaper's illustrated story.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep burgundy-red silhouette, earthy ochre leaves, muted sage green foliage, and soft pink acorn accents on a pale cream ground. When planning your surrounding palette, warm off-whites, buttermilk tones, or soft linen paints on adjoining walls and woodwork will seamlessly echo the backdrop. For a slightly more grounded look, introducing warm ochre, muted russet, or soft moss green accents through painted furniture, cushions, or storage boxes will beautifully highlight the secondary botanical shades in the pattern.
