Wallpaper - Gathering Acorns

Designed by Yvette St. Amant, our Gathering Acorns wallpaper brings a charming folk-art sensibility into the home with a decorative woodland composition. A deep maroon and burgundy squirrel adorned with delicate white floral scrollwork sits surrounded by stylized acorns in soft pink and warm ochre, accompanied by muted sage leafy sprigs and golden oak leaves. Set against an off-white background with subtle tonal flower line art, the illustrated pattern balances warmth and playful storytelling. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure.

In the room

The cheerful character and warm earthy palette make this design especially fitting for nurseries, children's bedrooms, and playrooms. Because the central motif features distinct decorative figures and leafy accents, we like it positioned on an accent wall behind a crib, a child's bed, or along a reading corner where the illustrated details can be enjoyed up close. In larger playrooms, running the wallpaper across continuous wall areas creates an inviting, storybook environment without feeling overwhelming, thanks to the calm, light background that keeps the overall space feeling open.

Styling it

To complement the rich burgundy silhouette and woodland motif, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with warm, natural materials. Simple wooden furniture in pale birch, natural pine, or warm oak grounds the room with a gentle craft aesthetic that echoes the folklore illustration style.

For textiles, soft cotton or woven wool blankets in muted cream, dusty rose, or pale olive help carry the wallpaper's secondary tones into the rest of the decor. Keeping surrounding storage units and shelving in clean off-white or soft painted finishes ensures the detailed squirrel illustration remains the visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a rich burgundy base on the main figure with accents of golden ochre, dusty pink, muted sage green, and soft cream line work on an off-white backdrop.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, painted woodwork, or larger furnishings, soft off-white or warm beige tones provide a seamless transition that matches the background. If you prefer a subtle hint of color, a gentle sage or muted clay pink drawn from the acorns and foliage adds character while keeping the room harmonious. For a bolder, grounded contrast, deep burgundy or forest green trims can frame the wallpapered area with traditional charm.
