Wallpaper - The Rex

Created by Julia Dreams, our The Rex wallpaper brings a rhythmic, 1970s revival aesthetic to modern interiors through concentric arches and clean vertical lines. What we particularly like about this design is how the interlocking geometric curves create an architectural sense of movement while maintaining a grounded, tranquil presence. The warm caramel and earthy brown tones sit across a softer base, giving the graphic screenprint-inspired line work a refined, monochromatic balance. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it simple and straightforward to hang.

In the room

The repeating arch motif carries a strong vertical direction that naturally draws the eye upward, making it especially effective in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the geometric pattern is disciplined and structured, we see it working beautifully across an expansive feature wall behind a low sofa or framing a clean workspace desk. In larger rooms with higher ceilings, the overlapping arches have ample space to repeat seamlessly, creating a sophisticated backdrop without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

To balance the defined linear geometry of the pattern, we suggest introducing soft, rounded furniture shapes and warm, organic textures.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile furniture in warm woods such as teak, walnut, or smoked oak to reinforce its retro mid-century character.
• Introduce curved upholstery, such as a bouclé armchair or a soft linen sofa, to echo the arched linework while softening the overall room layout.
• Use brushed brass or warm bronze lighting fixtures to complement the rich caramel tones and highlight the depth of the motif.

Colour combinations

The motif centers on earthy caramel brown lines set against a warm, muted neutral ground. When choosing surrounding paints and decor, we recommend continuing this earthy spectrum with creamy warm whites, soft beige, or deep taupe on adjacent walls and trim. If you want to introduce subtle contrast, muted olive green or rich terracotta accents in pottery and textiles will naturally complement the brown undertones without competing with the graphic structure.
