Wallpaper - Shimmering II

Created by Tanja Smedh, our Shimmering II wallpaper brings together an intricate, symmetrical kaleidoscope of overlapping foliage in rich tones of rust, bronze, gold, and warm earthy brown. Delicate vein details run through each leaf, creating subtle visual depth across the layered composition as it radiates outward from the centre. The design gives walls an artistic, tranquil character grounded in natural forms. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this wallpaper is designed to be straightforward to hang and adds an expressive focal point to interior spaces.

In the room

The mirrored symmetry and dense arrangement of leaves give this wallpaper a distinct architectural presence on the wall. In a dining room, we would position the design along an uninterrupted feature wall behind the table, where the central radial balance can anchor the entire seating area. It also works beautifully across a primary wall in a living room, especially where softer ambient lighting in the evening brings out the warmer rust and amber tones in the leaves. Because the foliage pattern is closely layered and visually rich, it sits best on a wall with minimal tall furniture breaks, allowing the full mirrored composition to unfold across the room.

Styling it

To complement the rich earthy palette, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, understated lines so the wall remains the primary visual feature. Warm-toned timber pieces, such as medium oak or stained walnut, sit naturally alongside the bronze and rust hues in the print. For accents and hardware, antiqued brass or patinated bronze mirrors and light fittings pick up the golden tones of the leaves without feeling overly reflective. Keeping upholstery in neutral, woven fabrics in shades of oat, biscuit, or warm taupe helps maintain a grounded and balanced interior.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by a warm, autumnal palette of rust orange, golden ochre, deep bronze, and earthy umber. To create a cohesive setting around it, we recommend carrying those undertones onto adjacent surfaces. Warm biscuit, soft sand, and deep terracotta work particularly well on surrounding painted walls or woodwork. If you prefer subtle contrast, a muted olive or moss green on nearby textiles or painted furniture complements the earthy nature of the foliage while allowing the golden shades to stand out.
