Introducing Quiet Worlds: A Designer Wallpaper Collection by Grigory Gladarev

Some interiors are designed to make an immediate statement. Others reveal themselves more slowly, creating atmosphere through colour, texture, scale and subtle visual movement.

The new Quiet Worlds wallpaper collection by Grigory Gladarev explores this quieter and more considered approach to interior design.

Created in collaboration with Kaleon Wallpaper, Quiet Worlds brings together atmospheric landscapes, abstract horizons, architectural geometry, botanical forms and richly textured surfaces. Although the designs move through different artistic directions, they share a distinctive visual language: calm, expressive and deeply connected to the spaces they inhabit.

This is wallpaper designed not simply to decorate a wall, but to influence how an entire room feels.

Meet Grigory Gladarev

Grigory Gladarev is a furniture designer and surface artist whose work moves between objects, interiors, pattern and visual composition.

His understanding of furniture and spatial design brings an important perspective to the collection. Each artwork has been considered in relation to architecture, proportion and the objects that may eventually sit in front of it.

Rather than treating wallpaper as a flat decorative surface, Quiet Worlds approaches the wall as part of the complete interior. Lines interact with furniture, distant horizons create a sense of space and layered forms shift depending on how the room is lit and experienced.

That multidisciplinary perspective can be seen throughout the collection, particularly in the way organic shapes sit beside structured compositions and painterly surfaces.

A collection built around atmosphere

Quiet Worlds is united by atmosphere rather than by one particular motif.

Some designs feel expansive and meditative, using softened mountain forms, distant landscapes and blurred horizons to create visual depth. Others are more architectural, combining geometric planes, arches and strong directional lines.

Botanical and figurative artworks introduce another dimension, balancing expressive plant forms with muted, earthy palettes. Textural designs sit somewhere between painting and pattern, bringing movement to the wall without relying on highly defined imagery.

The result is a varied collection that can move from understated and contemplative to expressive and sculptural, while still feeling visually connected.

Atmospheric landscapes and imagined horizons

The landscape designs are among the most immersive artworks in Quiet Worlds.

The Roerich series uses layered mountains, softened silhouettes and changing light to suggest distant, almost imagined environments. Designs such as Roerich Twilight, Roerich Silence, Roerich Peaks and Roerich Hills create a feeling of openness without becoming literal photographic landscapes.

These murals work particularly well in bedrooms and living rooms, where their horizontal movement can make the room feel wider and more restful. Positioned behind a bed or sofa, the landscape becomes an architectural backdrop rather than a conventional feature wall.

The Velvet and Rotko designs explore a similar sense of distance through abstraction. Faded colour transitions, cloud-like forms and layered horizons create artworks that sit between landscape painting and contemporary wall design.

These designs are particularly effective when paired with low furniture, soft textiles and warm, indirect lighting.

Abstract geometry with an architectural character

Quiet Worlds also contains a stronger geometric direction.

The Silent, Lunar and Avant designs introduce arches, planes, intersecting lines and cubist-inspired compositions. These artworks create structure and rhythm, making them suitable for contemporary interiors that need a more defined visual focal point.

A geometric mural can help organise the proportions of a room. Vertical forms can emphasise ceiling height, while long horizontal lines can visually extend a wall.

Rather than using small repeating shapes, many of these designs operate as complete compositions across the surface. This allows the wallpaper to feel closer to a large-scale artwork or architectural installation.

Botanical forms with a painterly approach

The botanical designs within Quiet Worlds are not traditional floral wallpapers.

The Emil and Amber artworks use softened outlines, layered foliage, expressive flowers and, in some designs, figurative elements. Their botanical forms feel painted and atmospheric rather than precise or illustrative.

This gives the designs a timeless quality and makes them easier to combine with different furniture styles.

In a bedroom, an oversized botanical mural can create softness behind the bed. In a dining room, it can provide a dramatic backdrop without requiring additional wall art. In a boutique restaurant, reception area or commercial interior, it can establish an immediate sense of identity.

Organic texture and quieter surface detail

Not every wall needs a recognisable scene.

The Ettore and Agnes designs explore line, grain, organic markings and horizontal divisions. These wallpapers are ideal for interiors where texture and movement are needed, but a detailed landscape or botanical composition would feel too dominant.

Their restrained character allows furniture, lighting and artwork to remain prominent while the wall adds depth in the background.

These designs can work especially well in minimal living rooms, offices, hallways, dining spaces and contemporary commercial environments. They also pair naturally with materials such as timber, linen, travertine, leather, brushed metal and textured upholstery.

A considered palette for contemporary interiors

The Quiet Worlds colour palette moves through muted neutrals, mineral greys, soft blues, earthy browns, ochre, clay, charcoal and natural greens.

These are colours designed to sit comfortably within an interior rather than exist separately from it.

Warm neutral murals can be paired with oak, walnut, cream upholstery and natural stone. Blue and grey designs work beautifully with darker timbers, brushed metal and cooler architectural finishes. Brown, clay and ochre palettes can bring warmth to rooms with polished concrete, white walls or minimal furniture.

When selecting a design, consider the permanent finishes already present in the room. Flooring, cabinetry, benchtops and large furniture pieces should help guide the wallpaper palette.

A sample is always recommended before ordering the full wall, allowing you to view the colour and material texture under the actual lighting conditions of your space.

Designed for residential and commercial interiors

Although Quiet Worlds has a consistent artistic identity, the collection can be used across many types of spaces.

In a bedroom, choose a soft landscape, horizon or botanical mural to create a calm focal point behind the bed.

For a living room, select a large-scale artwork that relates to the width of the sofa and surrounding furniture. Designs with long horizons or layered geometric forms are particularly effective across wider walls.

Dining rooms can support stronger compositions, including darker landscapes, figurative botanicals and graphic architectural designs.

In offices and study rooms, abstract textures and restrained geometry can introduce personality without creating excessive visual distraction.

Restaurants, reception areas, boutique accommodation and other commercial environments can use the more expressive murals to help establish a distinctive atmosphere and memorable interior identity.

Custom printed for your wall

Every Quiet Worlds design can be custom printed to suit the dimensions of your wall.

Custom sizing allows the artwork to be scaled and positioned according to the architecture of the room. This is particularly important for murals, where significant visual elements should not be hidden behind furniture, doors or other permanent features.

Before placing an order, measure the complete width and height of the wall, including the areas behind doors, windows and furniture. You can follow Kaleon’s wall measurement guide to prepare your dimensions.

The Kaleon team can also help review the scale and positioning of the design when adjustments are needed.

Paste the Wall or Peel & Stick

Quiet Worlds is available in Kaleon Wallpaper’s Paste the Wall and Peel & Stick materials.

Paste the Wall is the recommended option for long-term residential interiors and durable commercial projects. It has a refined matt linen texture and is installed by applying wallpaper adhesive directly to the prepared wall.

Peel & Stick is removable and repositionable during installation, making it suitable for renters, temporary installations and projects where greater flexibility is required.

Both materials are custom printed in Sydney and supplied in manageable panels. You can compare the options in Kaleon’s wallpaper materials guide.

A quieter way to make a statement

Quiet Worlds demonstrates that statement wallpaper does not always need intense colour or highly decorative pattern.

A wall can feel expressive through scale, composition, texture and atmosphere. It can become the element that connects the furniture, lighting and architecture without competing with them.

Through landscapes, geometric forms, botanical compositions and organic surfaces, Grigory Gladarev has created a collection that encourages a slower and more personal experience of the interior.
