Wallpaper - Conoid Grain, Oxblood

Our Conoid Grain, Oxblood wallpaper brings together the fluid, organic rhythm of fine timber grain and an intensely rich, dark palette. Deep oxblood and espresso tones form the backdrop, traced through with delicate, silvery-grey grain lines that create undulating visual movement across the vertical drop. The scale of the grain is finely detailed, giving the surface a sophisticated, graphic depth that reads as deep, uniform colour from afar and reveals intricate linear texture up close. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our design offers an atmospheric, tailored foundation for characterful interiors.

In the room

Because of its deep tones and vertical grain, we see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want to create an intimate, cocooning atmosphere. In a dining room or a dedicated study, wrapping all four walls creates a cohesive, library-like feel without making the room feel overly busy. The vertical flow of the woodgrain lines also lends itself naturally to rooms with high ceilings or hallway spaces, where the continuous linework draws the eye upward.

In a living room or bedroom, we would place this wallpaper across a main feature wall behind a sofa or headboard. The dark, wine-toned ground provides a striking backdrop that grounds lower furniture, while the fine grain detail prevents the dark wall from feeling flat or stark. In spaces with ample natural daylight, the subtler silvery undertones in the grain become easier to appreciate, while softer lamplight in the evening highlights the warmth of the deep oxblood base.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive, dark motif, we recommend balancing the rich backdrop with thoughtful contrasts in form and tone. Clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture with rounded edges helps soften the graphic verticality of the grain. To prevent the room from feeling too heavy, we suggest introducing lighter, textured upholstery such as cream bouclé or natural linen, alongside warm metallic accents like aged brass or bronze hardware that pick up on the warmth of the red undertones.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored in deep burgundy, oxblood red, and charcoal brown, highlighted with pale, chalky grey lines. Around this design, we particularly like pairing warm off-whites, soft stone, and muted taupe on surrounding trims and ceilings to create a crisp, tailored contrast. For a richer, tone-on-tone scheme, surrounding surfaces in deep olive green, burnt amber, or muted plum will sit harmoniously alongside the dark wine notes of the wall mural.
