Wallpaper - Royal Hall Ruby

Our Royal Hall Ruby wallpaper, created by Tanja Smedh, brings an intricate, symmetrical damask motif together with deep burgundy and black tones. Inspired by heritage textile tapestries and classic Victorian decoration, the composition features ornate floral scrollwork and swirling leaves balanced by fine tonal shading that gives the surface rich visual depth. The dark, atmospheric palette gives the design a grounded, historic presence on the wall without feeling overly dense. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it simple and straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want to create an intimate, cocooning atmosphere. In a formal dining room or an evening sitting room, wrapping all four walls in the pattern establishes an enveloping, heritage-led character that feels both grand and inviting. If you prefer to use it on a single feature wall, we suggest placing it behind a dining table or behind a primary seating area on a wider, uninterrupted wall so the full symmetry and vertical rhythm of the damask motif can be appreciated. Because of the deeper burgundy base, warmer artificial lighting in the evening brings out the subtle shading and rich red undertones across the motif.

Styling it

To complement the Victorian heritage of the pattern, we would pair our Royal Hall Ruby wallpaper with interior elements that match its visual weight and classic character.

• Ground the room with rich, dark timber furniture or warm mahogany and antique brass accents that echo the historic damask style.
• Balance the detailed pattern with plain, heavyweight upholstery in velvet or textured wool in deep jewel tones or warm charcoal.
• Keep surrounding architectural features such as skirting boards, picture rails, and door frames painted in a matching dark tone or an off-black to create a seamless, sophisticated perimeter.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on deep burgundy, rich ruby red, and shading in soft black. To build a cohesive room scheme around it, we recommend drawing on deep plum, espresso, or dark charcoal for adjacent painted woodwork and trims to maintain the moody, classic feel. If you prefer a lighter contrast, warm muted neutrals with a slight red or taupe undertone will soften the edges without clashing with the red base. Accents in antique bronze, aged gold, or deep forest green also work harmoniously alongside the ruby backdrop.
