Wallpaper - Burl Wood, Toasted

Our Burl Wood, Toasted wallpaper captures the intricate visual character of book-matched timber veneer, rendered in deep mocha and toasted brown tones. Swirling grain figures and clusters of darker knots unfold across a balanced, symmetrical composition reminiscent of 1920s and 1930s Art Deco wood inlay. The warmth of the earthy palette gives the surface a rich visual depth while maintaining a disciplined, architectural order. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a sophisticated focal point to private living spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room, study, or home library where its tailored, paneled visual rhythm creates an inviting, enveloping atmosphere. Because the symmetrical veneer pattern creates defined visual panels, giving the mural a continuous wall behind a dining table or credenza allows the full composition to be appreciated without interruption. In a dedicated den or home theater, the deep mocha palette adds an intimate, grounded feel that handles low evening lighting naturally. For a home office, placing this design behind a desk establishes a stately, focused backdrop without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

The distinct Art Deco and mid-century heritage of the burl wood motif pairs naturally with clean-lined furnishings and tailored silhouettes.

• Choose upholstery in textured bouclé, warm wool, or matte velvet in shades of ivory, camel, or deep olive to soften the graphic symmetry of the wood grain.
• Accent with polished brass, antique bronze, or blackened metal details on lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware to echo the vintage craft aesthetic.
• Incorporate solid dark walnut or matte lacquered surfaces rather than competing wood grains, allowing the intricate veneer pattern on the wall to remain the primary feature.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich foundation of mocha, toasted brown, and deeper espresso knots with warm, earthy undertones. To create a cohesive palette, we recommend pairing it with surrounding paint colors such as warm alabaster, soft biscuit, or muted stone on neighboring walls and trim. For a moodier, monochromatic setting, deep chocolate or smoky charcoal on architectural woodwork extends the richness of the motif. If you want to introduce a contrasting accent through art or soft furnishings, muted forest green, terracotta, and soft amber sit comfortably alongside these toasted timber tones.
