Melusine Burgundy
Also available in:
Mélusine Bordeaux is a wave-patterned wallpaper in deep red and terracotta. The lines run in repeating curves across the wall, closer to a drawn ripple than a geometric repeat, and the two shades sit near each other in depth so the pattern reads as one warm field rather than as high contrast.
Pattern and finish
The surface is matte, so the red holds its depth instead of flattening out under lamplight or a bright window. A textured surface adds fine relief you can feel with your hand, which gives the curved lines a little physical edge and helps hide minor unevenness in the wall beneath. Because the waves are horizontal in feel, the pattern tends to widen a room visually, which is useful on a short wall or in a narrow hallway. More designs with this kind of raised surface are in the textured range, and related motifs are gathered under wave patterns. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Colors and style
The bordeaux shading keeps the design grounded, while the terracotta tones lift it toward a warmer, earthier register. That combination suits Asian-inspired schemes, boho chic rooms and retro or modern-art interiors. It works alongside dark wood, rattan, brass fittings and plain textiles in cream or clay. Keep other patterns in the room minimal and let paintings or mirrors sit against it.

- Bedrooms, on all four walls or a single wall
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a dining room the warm reds work well under evening light, and in a home office the pattern gives a plain desk wall some structure without making the space feel crowded.
