Wallpaper - Temara Funk

Created by Julia Dreams, this geometric wallpaper brings a rhythmic, 1930s Art Deco influence into a monochromatic format. The motif builds vertical movement through undulating, wave-like stripes that frame repeating diamond shapes, alternating between deep charcoal black, soft smoky greys, and an off-white background. The hand-rendered, screenprint-inspired look softens the precise geometry, giving each line a lively, organic variation. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The distinct vertical flow of this wallpaper makes it particularly effective in transitional and compact spaces such as hallways, staircases, or a powder room. The upward wave structure naturally draws the eye along the wall, which helps emphasize ceiling height in tighter entryways. Because the repeat has clear graphic definition, we also see this working exceptionally well as an accent wall behind a console table or along a feature wall in a dining space. In a hallway, where doors and openings frequently interrupt the surface, the dense rhythm of the diamonds and ribbons holds together neatly without losing its visual continuity.

Styling it

Because the pattern carries a strong geometric presence, we suggest balancing the space with clean, structured furniture and restrained materials. Mid-century modern or retro silhouettes with simple profiles pair naturally with the 1930s aesthetic of the motif without competing for attention.

To complement the monochromatic palette, consider introducing warm wood tones or painted dark furniture to anchor the room. Matt black hardware or brushed brass accents can echo the crisp linework of the design, while simple textured fabrics on upholstery keep the surrounding environment grounded and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The motif is composed of deep charcoal black, medium smoke greys, and soft off-white. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, you can lean into the high-contrast drama or soften the transition across the room.

Pairing the wallpaper with a crisp off-white or light warm grey on adjacent walls keeps the room feeling open and allows the graphic linework to take centre stage. For a moodier, more tailored look, a deep slate grey or soft black on painted doors, baseboards, or cabinetry frames the pattern crisply. If you wish to bring in subtle colour accents through decorative pieces, muted tones like olive, terracotta, or ochre provide a warm, considered contrast against the monochrome base.
