Wallpaper - Batik Makassar

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Batik Makassar wallpaper combines vibrant geometric shapes with an ikat-inspired woven character. Symmetrical diamond medallions in rich cherry red, coral, turquoise green, and deep navy repeat in an open diagonal grid across a soft cream backdrop. The painted visual texture and dynamic linework give the pattern a lively retro spirit reminiscent of 1970s textile design. Printed to order on our made-to-measure, PVC-free paper, this wallpaper brings bold color and structured geometric rhythm to living rooms and home studies.

In the room

The open repeat and distinct diamond framing make Batik Makassar an engaging choice for spaces where you want a clear sense of pattern without overwhelming the walls. In a living room, we love seeing this design applied behind a sofa or across an accent wall, where the repeating medallions create an artistic focal point while leaving plenty of visual breathing room.

Because the geometric motifs are spaced evenly on a warm cream ground, the design also adapts comfortably to a dedicated home study or reading room. The balance between structured linework and expressive color keeps the room feeling stimulating yet organized, whether framed around shelving or featured on a wider uninterrupted wall.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the wallpaper take the lead, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture that shares a subtle mid-century or retro sensibility. Furniture in warm medium wood tones, like teak or honeyed walnut, naturally complements the warm cream base and accentuates the cherry red details.

When choosing upholstery and accents, picking up on the turquoise or coral accents creates a cohesive, eclectic look. Keeping larger upholstery pieces relatively simple in texture allows the crisp geometry and layered colors of the wall mural to remain the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

Our Batik Makassar wallpaper centers on bold cherry red, bright coral, turquoise, and deep navy set against a creamy neutral background. To build a balanced palette around the design, consider drawing out the rich reds and navies through accent cushions, artwork frames, or painted woodwork.

For adjacent walls, soft warm off-whites and pale sand tones match the background closely, creating a smooth transition throughout the room. If you prefer a bolder interior style, rich teal or deep peacock on nearby trim or shelving creates a striking, maximalist dialogue with the turquoise motifs in the pattern.
