Wallpaper - Egyptian Ornaments - Bes

Our Egyptian Ornaments - Bes wallpaper brings together structured geometric borders inspired by ancient Egyptian decorative motifs and 1930s graphic prints. The composition is divided into distinct horizontal bands, pairing ochre yellow and warm grey arches detailed with red dotted accents and green triangular shapes in the upper tier with stylized floral and teardrop elements along the lower register. Crisp outlines and a balanced earthy palette of dijon yellow, grey, white, vibrant red, and deep green give the design an expressive, graphic rhythm. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, our wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a study, library, or living room where its rhythmic frieze-like quality can bring architectural definition to the space. Because the design has clear horizontal bands and strong graphic definition, it creates an elegant focal point on an accent wall behind a sofa, a low bookshelf, or a study desk. In rooms with standard ceiling heights, the structured repeats add visual width and character across uninterrupted wall surfaces. For a dedicated home library or reading room, wallpapering multiple walls envelopes the room in rich historical geometry without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

The vintage screenprint feel and Art Deco sensibility pair naturally with mid-century or classic furniture. We would complement the geometric structure with warm woods, such as walnut or rich teak, which echo the earthy dijon yellow tones in the motif. Keep surrounding decorative pieces relatively streamlined to allow the intricate border patterns to take center stage. Brass light fixtures, matte dark metal accents, and unpatterned upholstery in textured weaves like bouclé or wool provide a grounded, cohesive balance to the vibrant red and green details.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a grounded base of dijon yellow and muted grey, punctuated by accents of vivid red, rich green, and clean white. To complement this palette, we suggest pairing adjacent walls and woodwork with soft, warm neutrals, muted oatmeal, or an understated stone grey that connects with the grey architectural shapes. For a bolder, more enveloping interior, deep olive green or rich terracotta paint on surrounding joinery, doors, or trim pulls directly from the secondary decorative elements and heightens the historic character of the room.
