Wallpaper - Overlaps

Created by Nadine Greeff, our Overlaps wallpaper presents an abstract geometric composition formed by sweeping, translucent watercolor washes in warm caramel and earthy brown tones. The intersecting bands overlap to create faceted shapes, soft gradations, and crisp white geometric negative space with the visible texture of fine watercolor paper. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a calm, artistic atmosphere to contemporary spaces while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room or home office, we see this design working beautifully on a main feature wall where the dynamic angles and diagonal movement have space to unfold. Because the watercolor washes vary from deep caramel to airy beige and clean white, the pattern creates visual interest without overwhelming the room. On a wall behind a desk or sofa, the broad geometric bands provide a tailored, artistic backdrop that draws the eye upward and outward, complementing both bright daylight and softer ambient lighting.

Styling it

The fluid lines and natural pigment gradations pair naturally with organic modern and contemporary interiors. We would balance the geometric movement of the wallpaper by choosing furniture with clean profiles and tactile, unpretentious materials. Warm wood tones, such as natural ash or honeyed oak, echo the caramel shades in the print, while matte off-white ceramics and woven textures like bouclé or textured cotton keep the overall space grounded and balanced.

Colour combinations

Our design is grounded in warm caramel, soft ochre-brown, and pale biscuit tones against clean white intervals. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-white or soft warm linen tones on adjacent walls and trim. For a deeper, more grounded contrast, rich cocoa, tobacco brown, or subtle terracotta accents in upholstery and decorative objects bring out the darker pigment edges where the painted bands overlap.
