Wallpaper - Aware Ruby

Our Aware Ruby wallpaper, created in collaboration with designer Aina Cole, brings together rich carmine red, soft coral, and muted sage green in an expressive abstract composition. What catches our attention first is the horizontal movement across the wall, where layered impasto-like strokes and crackled visual textures suggest the depth of an oil painting. Pale lavender-grey accents cut across the center, adding contrast to the warm, earthy red tones. Produced as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic focal point into modern living spaces.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working particularly well across a main feature wall behind a sofa or low credenza. Because the composition has a strong horizontal sweep and distinct visual textures, giving it a wider uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping red passages and contrasting green fields to unfold naturally. The balance between warm carmine and cooler sage tones makes the wallpaper visually engaging without overwhelming the entire space, especially when balanced by neutral surrounding walls. In a dedicated meditation room or quiet lounge area, the fluid, organic landscape-like forms create an immersive, contemplative atmosphere that anchors the room.

Styling it

We would pair this mural wallpaper with low-profile furniture that keeps sightlines open and lets the artwork remain the primary focus. In an organic modern or contemporary setting, consider combining it with:

• Upholstered seating in neutral cream, warm oat, or soft taupe to balance the saturated carmine and coral reds.
• Medium to dark warm wood furniture, such as walnut or smoked oak, which echoes the deeper earthy red tones without competing with the pattern.
• Muted bronze, blackened steel, or matte ceramic accents that complement the weathered, painterly character of the design.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by deep carmine red, warm coral, soft sage green, and hints of pale grey. When painting adjacent walls, trim, or selecting larger textiles, we suggest pulling from these subtle supporting tones. A warm off-white or soft linen shade on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling open while letting the red motif stand out. Alternatively, an earthy muted sage green on surrounding walls or cabinetry creates a cohesive, grounded look by mirroring the green passages running through the center and base of the mural.
