Wallpaper - Ruby Heart

Our Ruby Heart wallpaper, created in collaboration with designer Yvette St. Amant, centres on an ornate, sacred-heart-inspired motif rendered in deep crimson and antique gold tones. The central heart features delicate filigree scrolls, dotted detailing, and an elaborate decorative crest topped with jewel-like red accents, all set against a rich plum-toned backdrop patterned with subtle leaf silhouettes. This striking balance of bold geometry and quiet foliage creates an evocative, folk-art-inspired mural that makes an immediate decorative statement. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong central focal point and rich, dark ground, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an accent wall in a bedroom, dining area, or living room. In a bedroom, placing the design on the wall behind the headboard anchors the space with a dramatic, romantic presence. In a dining room or intimate sitting room, giving the mural an uninterrupted wall allows the full scale of the heart motif and its decorative crown to be appreciated from across the room. The deep plum and ruby palette feels especially warm and atmospheric under lower evening light, where the golden scrollwork catches the eye without overwhelming smaller spaces.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accents that echo its vintage, artisanal character:

• Choose dark or warm-toned wooden furniture, such as walnut, mahogany, or rich oak, which grounds the dramatic backdrop and complements the antique gold details.
• Introduce velvet or heavy linen textiles in muted berry, claret, or soft warm grey to echo the rich tones of the artwork while keeping solid textures around the patterned wall.
• Add warm brass or aged gold lighting fixtures and hardware to tie in directly with the ornate filigree border of the heart.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Ruby Heart wallpaper is defined by rich crimson red, antique gold, and deep aubergine-plum, softened by subtle slate-grey foliage in the background. When choosing complementary paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, we like using deep wine tones or moody aubergine for a fully immersive, enveloping room scheme. If you prefer a lighter contrast, warm off-whites, soft parchment, or muted taupe balance the darkness of the background while allowing the central red and gold illustration to stand out cleanly.
