Ruby Ardolino
UK
Ruby Ardolino is an interiors content creator and homeware business owner based in the UK, with a distinctive love for whimsical, dark academia inspired design. She is passionate about storytelling and creating spaces that feel both romantic and lived-in, where every detail adds a touch of atmosphere and imagination.
Ruby’s style blends rich, moody colours, vintage finds, and playful details, resulting in interiors that are cosy, dramatic, and full of character. She believes decorating is a form of escapism, a chance to build environments that comfort and inspire, whether through a flickering candle, a curious oddity, or a wallpaper that feels like it belongs in a storybook.
Her wallpaper collections are inspired by the romance of secret gardens, designed to feel timeless and a little mysterious. The green colourway offers a grounded, classic elegance, while the burgundy version with plum, pink, and gold accents brings opulence and drama to a space. Ruby loves how these designs can transform cosy corners like reading nooks and bedrooms, but also make a bold statement in unexpected places such as bathrooms or dressing rooms.
Above all, Ruby encourages others to embrace the mood of her designs and not shy away from darker tones. When paired with vintage furnishings, warm lighting, and tactile materials like wood and velvet, her wallpapers create an atmosphere that is both enveloping and inspiring.
