Wallpaper - Acanthus Trellis

Our Acanthus Trellis wallpaper pairs an ornate, symmetrical leaf pattern with a warm oat-coloured background. Stylised acanthus leaves radiate outward from each corner to shape an elegant oval frame, creating a balanced botanical composition with an etching-inspired character. Created by RNM Arts, this design draws on classical heritage and Art Nouveau influences, using deep earthy green tones against a soft, warm base to give the motif a timeless, refined presence. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a formal dining room or a dedicated home library. The structured rhythm of the acanthus trellis gives the wall an architectural balance, making it a natural choice behind a dining table or alongside built-in bookcases. Because the repeat has a clear, symmetrical geometry, it sits comfortably across a wider uninterrupted wall as a focused feature, but it also carries enough visual weight to dress all four walls in a traditional dining space without feeling cluttered.

The warmth of the oat background softens the contrast with the dark green leaves, so the motif remains grounded even in rooms with shifting daylight. In brighter afternoon sun, the fine etching-style line work within the leaves stands out cleanly, while under lower evening lamplight, the pattern feels intimate and enveloping.

Styling it

To complement the classical character of the pattern, we would lean towards heritage-inspired furnishings that share its sense of proportion:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, mid-to-dark wood furniture such as a walnut dining table, mahogany sideboard, or dark stained shelving to echo the depth of the green leaves.
• Introduce classic brass or antique bronze hardware in lighting fixtures, curtain poles, or cabinet handles to pick up the warm undertones of the oat backdrop.
• Choose quiet, tailored textiles in natural weaves for upholstery or dining chair cushions, keeping them in muted neutral tones so the botanical trellis remains the focal point.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around earthy dark green foliage set over a warm oat and yellow-beige base. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we recommend working with this warm foundation.

A muted cream, warm stone, or soft oat paint on adjacent walls keeps the space cohesive and open. For skirting boards, door frames, or panelling, pulling out the deep forest green from the leaves creates a tailored, period-appropriate contrast. If you prefer a lighter look, a soft neutral with warm yellow undertones allows the green pattern to stand out as the primary colour statement.
