Wallpaper - Gramaphone

Our Gramaphone wallpaper by Deborah Revell captures the vintage character of an authentic turn-of-the-century music player set against a clean, plain background. The design is anchored by a flared brass horn with a petal-like rim, warm golden reflections, and a carved wooden cabinet showing deep umber tones, a classic crank handle, and historical Victrola branding. A black disc sits ready on the turntable, giving the motif an immediate sense of nostalgia and musical heritage. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this is a single focal motif presented against an open backdrop, we would place this design on a clear feature wall where its silhouette can stand out. It works especially well in a living room, home library, or dedicated study where vintage and music-inspired themes feel naturally at home. In a living room, positioning the mural wallpapers behind a low sideboard or low-backed sofa keeps the horn and turntable in full view. Giving the wall ample breathing room allows the details of the brass and woodwork to serve as the visual anchor of the space.

Styling it

We recommend styling this design alongside furnishings that echo its heritage character:

• Pair with dark timber furniture, such as antique walnut or stained oak, to harmonise with the warm wooden casing of the machine.
• Introduce classic leather seating or tailored upholstery in muted heritage tones to maintain a refined, traditional aesthetic.
• Incorporate subtle brass or antiqued metal lighting and accents to complement the golden tones of the horn without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on deep umber browns, aged brass gold, and the soft black sheen of the record, contrasted against a bright neutral base. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, parchment tones, and rich cream paints create a seamless transition. If you prefer deeper contrast, heritage shades such as dark olive, rich tobacco brown, or deep vintage burgundy on adjacent walls or trim will enhance the warm tones in the woodwork.
