Wallpaper - Mandarona

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Mandarona wallpaper combines bold 1970s retro geometry with the visual character of layered screenprint textures. The repeating motif pairs expressive starbursts and interlocking geometric forms in warm rust and rich orange tones against a crisp off-white ground. What we particularly like is the rhythmic, mosaic-like quality of the shapes, which gives the pattern a lively cadence across the wall without feeling overwhelming. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design brings an energetic, design-led focal point to contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors alike.

In the room

In an entryway, Mandarona creates an instant sense of warmth and character right from the front door. The medium-scale repeat has enough structure to define compact spaces, giving smaller walls a vibrant, confident personality. In a larger living room, we see this working wonderfully on a feature wall behind a sofa or along a central chimney breast, where the geometric rhythm has space to unfold without competing with everyday furnishings. Because the motif is tight and orderly, it also holds its own on walls broken up by doorways or large windows, maintaining its visual cohesion across varied architectural layouts.

Styling it

The distinct 1970s revival feel of this design pairs naturally with mid-century silhouettes and warm interior finishes. We suggest balancing the graphic energy of the pattern with furniture that features clean, unornamented lines. Pieces in warm teak, walnut, or mid-tone oak echo the earthy undertones of the wallpaper while grounding the overall room.

To keep the focus on the geometric detail, surrounding upholstery works best in solid neutral fabrics or textured bouclé rather than competing prints. A low-profile credenza or sleek architectural lighting in matte black or brushed brass provides a crisp counterpoint to the warm terracotta and rust tones.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Mandarona wallpaper centres on warm rust, ochre-tinted orange, and sharp off-white geometric outlines. When decorating around it, you might lean into that warmth by pairing adjacent walls with soft cream, warm linen, or muted ivory rather than cold, stark whites. For a richer, more enveloping scheme, deeper terracotta, burnt caramel, or muted olive green on woodwork, shelving, or accent textiles create a harmonious, retro-informed contrast that feels grounded and considered.
