Wallpaper - Opening the Wine

Our Opening the Wine wallpaper captures a tranquil still life composed with classic warmth by artist Danhui Nai. Two wine bottles and two filled glasses sit beside a ready corkscrew on a rustic tabletop, framed by trailing autumn grape leaves in soft orange and green tones. Subtle light reflections across the glassware balance the earthy palette of fawn, ochre, and warm natural browns. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free design with a delicate physical texture in the paper, this wall mural brings an artistic, welcoming atmosphere to residential dining areas.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well on an accent wall in a dining room, where the still life motif can naturally anchor the social center of the home. The painterly composition has enough presence to define a dedicated dining area within an open-plan layout, yet the muted fawn backdrop prevents it from overpowering the surrounding space. Because the key visual details, such as the glassware and autumnal foliage, are concentrated across the midground of the scene, the design sits comfortably behind a dining table or above a low sideboard without losing its most expressive elements.

Styling it

To complement the classical, heritage feel of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with warm, natural materials that echo its painterly brushwork. Furniture in mid-toned or deeper woods, such as walnut, fruitwood, or aged oak, connects naturally with the earthy tabletop in the motif.

For surrounding furnishings, we suggest keeping shapes classic and silhouettes relatively quiet. A simple timber credenza or a traditional dining table lets the artwork remain the focal point. To complement the vintage character without cluttering the room, you might introduce small accents in antique brass, unlacquered bronze, or muted ceramic tableware that reflect the warm tones of the composition.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design revolves around an earthy harmony of fawn yellow, soft amber, warm browns, and muted olive greens in the grape leaves.

When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we like pairing this mural with soft parchment neutrals, muted stone, or warm off-whites to let the wallpaper stand out naturally. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel around the dining area, deep moss green, warm olive, or a subdued caramel brown drawn directly from the leaves and background can frame the wall mural beautifully.
