Burgundy & Red Wallpaper

Red wallpaper brings warmth and confidence to a room, and deeper burgundy, maroon and wine red shades feel especially rich on a wall. This collection ranges from oxblood and madder florals and classic acanthus scrolls to crimson stripes, traditional roses and African-inspired weaves in rust and earthy reds. Japanese wave patterns, painted chevrons and tile designs add a graphic edge, and there are playful options for kids’ rooms too. Dark red wallpaper is ideal for a dining room, study or main bedroom where you want a cosy, enveloping feel by evening lamplight, while brighter reds make an energetic feature wall in a passage or guest loo. Balance strong red with cream, warm wood and greenery. Preview it in the room visualiser, then choose Peel & Stick or Traditional, printed to order in Johannesburg. See pink wallpaper, orange and terracotta wallpaper or dining room wallpaper.

Frequently Asked Questions ▼

Which rooms suit red or burgundy wallpaper?

Deep burgundy, maroon and wine red are lovely in dining rooms, studies and main bedrooms, where they feel warm and intimate in the evening. Brighter crimson and scarlet work best in smaller doses, such as a passage, guest loo or a single feature wall, where a burst of energy is welcome.

Will dark red wallpaper make my room feel smaller?

Dark red can make walls feel closer, but that usually reads as cosy rather than cramped. To keep a smaller room balanced, use it on one feature wall, choose a design with a lighter ground or a cream motif, and keep ceilings, trims and flooring lighter so the space still has contrast.

What colours go well with burgundy wallpaper?

Burgundy pairs beautifully with cream, soft blush, warm wood and natural linen for a classic look. For something bolder, try deep green, navy or mustard accents. Greenery and terracotta pots bring out its earthy side, while crisp white trims make the red look cleaner and more contemporary.

What is the difference between burgundy, maroon and wine red?

They are all deep reds. Burgundy leans slightly purple, like red wine, and maroon leans brown, closer to oxblood or rust. Wine red is a broad term covering both. Look at each design in the room visualiser, because lighting and the colours around it will shift how warm or cool the red appears.
