Wallpaper - Gramaphone

Our Gramaphone wallpaper features a classic turn-of-the-century record player, captured with crisp photographic clarity against a clean, light backdrop. What we particularly like is the dynamic contrast between the sculptural, petal-fluted brass horn and the rich, dark umber wood base. Finer details like the iconic ornate Victrola emblem, tone arm, vinyl record, and metallic hand crank give the motif an authentic heritage character. Created by Deborah Revell, this design makes a striking focal point for music lovers and vintage-inspired interiors alike. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, our wallpapers are made-to-measure and completely PVC-free.

In the room

Because the motif has such a strong, sculptural silhouette with plenty of open space surrounding it, we find it works best on an accent wall where the full piece can be appreciated without feeling crowded. It creates an evocative atmosphere in a home library, study, or reading nook, sitting comfortably behind an armchair or low bookshelf. In a living room, positioning the design on a feature wall or behind a media unit naturally celebrates a passion for music and history. We recommend keeping larger pieces of tall furniture away from the centre of the wall so the flare of the brass horn remains fully visible.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this design with interiors that lean into heritage, classic, or mid-century aesthetics. The warm tones in the woodwork naturally harmonise with deep timber finishes such as antique oak or walnut, as well as classic leather seating and book-lined shelving. To balance the statement quality of the gramophone, keep surrounding decorative accessories relatively curated: simple vintage frames, muted brass lamps, and textured wool or woven textiles work wonderfully together without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres around warm metallic brass, deep umber brown, and black vinyl accents, set against a crisp off-white background. For adjacent painted walls, we would look to warm neutral tones like soft parchment, ecru, or pale stone to maintain the airy feel of the mural. Alternatively, if you want a moodier, more atmospheric room, rich heritage shades like deep forest green, warm chocolate, or navy blue on adjacent walls will pick up on the antique warmth of the wooden base and brass horn.
