Red Wallpaper

How to use red wallpaper

Red advances, so it makes a room feel smaller and warmer at once, which is exactly right for a dining room, a hallway or a study and exactly wrong for a small bedroom. The liveable reds are rust, brick and burgundy; a rust stripe in a hall or a burgundy ground behind a dining table looks expensive and never dates. Pair red with cream rather than bright white, and with dark timber, and keep it to one wall or one small room.

Where to start

Of the designs on this page, the most ordered over the last twelve months, in any colourway, were five Sandberg designs: Gustav, Magnus, Wilma, the rust-red stripe Estelle and Sam; the most sampled was Argile. Red by style: stripes and floral. Neighbouring colours: orange and pink.

Can I get a sample first?

Yes. A4 samples are A$10 each plus A$5 postage within Australia, A$18 to New Zealand and A$35 elsewhere, sent by letter mail and usually with you within a week. Colour is the one thing a screen cannot settle, so we recommend it.
