Wallpaper - Royal Hall Ruby

Our Royal Hall Ruby wallpaper pairs an intricate, symmetrical damask motif with deep burgundy and black tones. Designed by Tanja Smedh, the pattern weaves together curling acanthus leaves, decorative scrolls, and fine floral elements to give the wall a rich, tapestry-inspired look. The subtle shading between the deep red grounds and black linework creates remarkable visual depth across the repeat, capturing the formal elegance of Victorian heritage patterns. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper surface.

In the room

In a formal dining room, this design creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere that works particularly well when wrapping around all four walls. The darker burgundy palette gives the room visual warmth, while the rhythmic symmetry of the scrollwork grounds larger dining furniture and overhead pendant lighting. In a living room, we especially like using this design across a dedicated feature wall behind a sofa or fireplace mantel, where the detailed motif can serve as the primary decorative focal point without overwhelming everyday seating areas.

Styling it

• Anchor the deep tones with warm, dark wood furniture such as mahogany, walnut, or stained oak to mirror the classic heritage feel.
• Introduce muted brass or antique bronze hardware and lighting fixtures to subtly catch the eye against the dark red background.
• Balance the ornate pattern with solid, heavy textiles like velvet or dense woven upholstery in deep plum, charcoal, or warm neutral tones.

Color combinations

The motif itself is defined by deep burgundy red and soft black. When choosing colors for adjacent surfaces, warm charcoal or deep espresso paint on door frames and baseboards reinforces the dramatic Victorian mood. If you prefer a lighter contrast on ceilings or neighboring walls, look toward muted taupe, warm stone, or vintage parchment shades rather than cool, stark whites, which would create too harsh a boundary with the rich burgundy.
