Baroque was never shy, and this does not apologize for it. Acanthus Ember is a baroque plume wallpaper that sweeps flowing scrolls of teal and burnt orange across a black ground: opera-house color on a midnight stage. The mood is unhurried, the effect fully committed.

The design

Flowing baroque plume motifs in teal and burnt orange sweeping over black. Grand movement, saturated contrast, old-world drama. The burnt orange takes the light and the teal takes the shadows, which keeps the wall deep rather than flat. By day the black ground reads formal, and after dark it disappears entirely, leaving the plumes to float. Distance simplifies it into pure movement, and standing close rewards the staring.

Works best in

Dining rooms, bedrooms, dramatic entryways, home bars, powder rooms and hosts who own a candelabra unironically.

Style notes

This is opera-house staging translated for a house that hosts. It wants dark mahogany, antiqued gold, smoked glass, and velvet in peacock or rust. In a dining room it sets the tone before the first course, and in an entryway it announces the whole evening. Keep the trim black and the candles real.

Order with confidence

Acanthus Ember is an original WALLPLICITY design, built as a seamless repeat so the scrolls sweep across every panel in one grand gesture. Available as peel and stick or traditional wallpaper. Samples available, and teal against orange is a duet worth hearing in your own room.
