Wallpaper - Aware Ruby

Aware Ruby by Aina Cole brings the expressive energy of abstract oil painting onto a generous architectural scale. The design features sweeping horizontal strokes and textured layers in deep carmine red, coral, and soft rose, accented by muted celadon green and pale grey tones that resemble an expressive coastal landscape. Fine crackle details and layered impasto textures create rich visual depth across the surface. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this wallpaper is easy to hang and works beautifully as a striking artistic focal point in modern interiors.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room, where the wide horizontal movement can expand across a main wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Because the artwork reads almost like an expansive, abstracted panorama, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the flow of sweeping brushstrokes and shifting color fields to be appreciated in full. It also makes an inspiring backdrop in a dedicated meditation room or creative home studio, where the interplay of earthy ruby tones and cool celadon greens sets an artistic, grounding atmosphere.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we suggest balancing the wall with low-profile contemporary or organic modern furniture. Grounding the space with warm, natural wood pieces, such as low walnut or stained ash credenzas, echoes the rich undertones in the paintwork. Smooth, unpatterned upholstery in chalky white, soft ecru, or muted charcoal creates a calm foreground that prevents the room from feeling visually busy, allowing the layered brush marks and intricate visual textures of the mural wallpapers to take center stage.

Colour combinations

The design is built around rich carmine red, dusty coral, terracotta, and soft blush tones, contrasted with touches of muted celadon, sage green, and cool grey. For surrounding walls and millwork, warm off-whites, pale linen tones, or soft sage create a cohesive, complementary backdrop. If you prefer a moodier, more dramatic interior, drawing out the deeper carmine or pairing the wall mural with dark slate grey paint on adjacent trims will create a bold, enveloping space.
