Wallpaper - Aware Ruby

Designed by Aina Cole, our Aware Ruby wallpaper brings together expressive abstract forms and rich painted textures. The composition flows with sweeping horizontal bands of carmine, blush pink, and muted sage green, accented by delicate crackle and impasto-like brush marks that create depth across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our subtle, PVC-free paper, this design provides a striking artistic presence while remaining simple to hang in any interior.

In the room

We see Aware Ruby working exceptionally well as a bold feature in a contemporary living room or a dedicated meditation room. The broad, horizontal movement of the brushwork naturally draws the eye across the space, making it particularly effective on wider uninterrupted walls, such as behind a low sofa or credenza. Because the artwork carries strong painterly movement and varying tones of rich red and soft green, giving it room to breathe without tall furniture cluttering the surface allows the full visual narrative to unfold.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork take centre stage, we suggest balancing the wall with calm, grounding elements. Organic modern silhouettes and clean lines work nicely against the fluid abstraction, preventing the room from feeling visually busy.

When choosing furniture and accessories, consider low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, paired with warm wood finishes like walnut or dark-stained ash that complement the earthy depths of the red palette. Matte ceramics or subtle black accents help anchor the space without competing with the dynamic energy of the mural.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around deep carmine, coral, and soft rose tones, contrasted by subtle sage green and pale lilac-grey accents. To create a cohesive look, we recommend drawing from the lighter surrounding tones for adjacent walls, such as muted chalky white, soft warm grey, or a delicate dusty sage. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, bringing in deep burgundy or terracotta accents through cushions and upholstery ties the whole scheme together beautifully.
