Wallpaper - Vintage Arabesque Decoration, plate no. 92

Our Vintage Arabesque Decoration, plate no. 92 wallpaper brings together intricate geometric framing and historic ornamental detail, drawn from the work of Émile Prisse d'Avennes. The composition centres on a structured grid of interlocking octagonal and rectangular panels, filled with fine floral scrollwork and stylised vine motifs. Rendered in a warm palette of earthy brown, soft beige, and caramel tones, the pattern carries a carved, stucco-like visual texture that gives the wall a quiet sense of architectural depth. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper that complements the vintage character of the print.

In the room

Because of the balanced, repeating geometry, this design works beautifully across a dedicated accent wall or throughout an entire room where you want a considered, heritage feel. In a living room, we love seeing this wallpaper on a main wall behind a low-profile sofa, allowing the rhythm of the panels to remain largely uninterrupted. It is equally at home in a private library, study, or dining room, where the warm earthy tones create an intimate, grounded atmosphere. In spaces with tall ceilings, the vertical alignment of the arabesques guides the eye upwards, while rooms with softer, warm-toned lighting help the caramel highlights feel especially rich and enveloping.

Styling it

When styling around such a detailed geometric motif, we recommend letting the pattern serve as the primary decorative element in the room. Pairing this design with clean-lined furniture helps balance the historical complexity of the print without competing for attention.

• Choose warm wood pieces, such as walnut, mid-toned oak, or dark stained timber, which echo the deep brown tones in the pattern while keeping the overall aesthetic natural and grounded.
• Introduce tactile upholstery in textured neutral weaves or smooth leather in cognac and tan shades to bring depth and comfort to seating areas.
• Incorporate muted antique brass or aged bronze hardware and lighting accents that pick up on the warm caramel elements of the motif.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built upon a foundation of earthy browns, warm beige, and glowing caramel highlights. When selecting surrounding wall paint or architectural trim, soft warm off-whites, creamy stone tones, or pale taupes create a gentle, low-contrast transition that feels understated and cohesive. For a bolder, moodier interior, deep espresso brown, rich cocoa, or muted ochre on adjacent joinery and doors will frame the wallpaper and highlight its intricate panel structure.
