Wallpaper - Burl Wood, Toasted

Our Burl Wood, Toasted wallpaper captures the intricate visual character of classic timber veneer, defined by rich mocha and warm reddish-brown tones. Swirling organic grain and small dark knots repeat across the surface in a balanced, rhythmic composition inspired by Art Deco and 1920s wood inlay. The warm earthy palette gives the motif a grounded visual weight while retaining a refined, decorative feel. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love how this design brings architectural depth to dedicated living spaces, dining rooms, studies, and home offices. In a home library or study, wrapping all four walls creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere reminiscent of classic panelled interiors. Because the swirling burl pattern is relatively dense and detailed, it also works wonderfully on a feature wall behind a sofa, a dining table, or a desk, where it provides a rich visual backdrop without overwhelming the space. In rooms with generous warm lighting, the subtle transitions between the toasted brown and deeper mocha tones become especially inviting in the evening.

Styling it

The rich 1920s inspiration behind this motif makes it a natural partner for tailored, retro-leaning interiors as well as grounded contemporary spaces.

• Pair the warm timber tones with upholstered seating in deep velvet, bouclé, or matte woven fabrics to create a soft textural counterpoint to the graphic wood grain.
• Accent the room with warm brass or bronze architectural lighting, which highlights the amber undertones in the pattern.
• Choose furniture with clean, architectural lines rather than overly ornate woodwork, allowing the intricate swirl of the wall mural to stand out as the primary decorative feature.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a rich foundation of mocha, toasted brown, and deep reddish-brown tones with darker knot accents. When decorating around it, warm neutrals such as cream, parchment, and soft taupe keep the surrounding space bright and balanced. For a more dramatic, layered look, deep forest green, petrol blue, or warm tobacco shades on painted doors, skirtings, or surrounding joinery echo the earthy depth of the wallpaper.
