Wallpaper - Record

Our Record wallpaper brings a classic vinyl disc into graphic close-up, celebrating mid-century music culture with striking visual clarity. Designed by Deborah Revell, the motif focuses on the fine concentric grooves of black vinyl contrasted against a vibrant red centre label, complete with the vintage "His Master's Voice" dog-and-gramophone emblem and historic catalogue lettering. The crisp graphic composition and bold interplay between deep charcoal black, rich red, and white text give this design an iconic presence that instantly anchors a room. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our wallpaper is designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a living room, hobby room, or dedicated home art studio where you want the wall to establish a distinct creative identity. Because the vinyl record is presented at such a dramatic, magnified scale, it is at its best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted feature wall where the full curve of the disc and the detail of the label remain visible. In an open living space or entertainment area, positioning our design behind a low sofa or media console keeps the central motif clear of obstruction while providing a graphic focal point for the entire room.

Styling it

To balance such a bold, retro-inspired motif, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated.

• Low-profile mid-century furniture in warm woods such as teak or walnut pairs naturally with the 1950s musical heritage of the design.
• Matte black metal lighting or shelving echo the graphic black tone of the vinyl grooves without competing for visual attention.
• Neutral, plain upholstery in charcoal or off-white lets the rich red centre label stand out as the primary accent in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep charcoal black and crisp white, punctuated by the vibrant red of the record label. For surrounding walls and woodwork, soft off-whites and cool light greys create an open, balanced backdrop that prevents the black from feeling too heavy. If you want to lean into a moodier retro aesthetic, surrounding charcoal grey paintwork will integrate the vinyl motif seamlessly. For accents across cushions, rugs, or decorative pieces, picking up the label's signature red in small doses ties the entire interior together.
