Wallpaper - Burl Wood, Toasted

Our Burl Wood, Toasted wallpaper captures the intricate, swirling grain of classic burl veneer, translated into a rhythmic and symmetrical wall covering. Deep reddish-brown and mocha tones blend with warm earthy undertones, punctuated by subtle knot details that echo traditional wood inlay craftsmanship. The flowing curves bring an organic visual structure to the wall, offering a grounded and tailored aesthetic inspired by 1920s and 1930s interiors. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design provides a rich architectural finish for sophisticated interior spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want to create an intimate, cocooning atmosphere. In a dining room, study, or home library, the rich brown tones and swirling grain add warmth and depth to the walls without feeling overwhelming. The symmetrical repeat makes it an excellent choice for a dedicated feature wall behind a sideboard, desk, or sofa, where the balanced composition can be fully appreciated. In larger living rooms or a dedicated home cinema, using the design across all four walls wraps the room in a warm, tailored look reminiscent of classic mid-century panelling. Because the visual pattern has moderate contrast, it holds its detail well in softer ambient lighting as well as in spaces with generous daylight.

Styling it

To complement the rich 1920s and retro influence of the pattern, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, intentional silhouettes:

• Balance the swirling movement of the motif with understated upholstered pieces in warm neutral fabrics, deep boucle, or muted cognac leather to keep the room grounded.
• Introduce warm metallic accents, such as brushed brass or aged bronze lighting and hardware, which naturally draw out the golden-red undertones of the timber pattern.
• Choose surrounding furniture in darker stained timber or painted finishes in deep charcoal or soft black rather than competing wood grains, allowing the wallpaper to remain the primary surface feature.

Colour combinations

The palette of this design centres on deep mocha, toasted brown, and warm terracotta-reddish hues, balanced by softer earthy undertones within the grain lines. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or cornicing, we recommend soft, warm neutrals such as creamy parchment or gentle muted stone, which keep the room feeling bright and cohesive. For a more dramatic, layered scheme, deep olive greens, burnt umber, or rich espresso tones on skirtings and architraves create a seamless, sophisticated transition from wall to trim.
