Wallpaper - Mandala and Paisley

Our Mandala and Paisley wallpaper by Silvia Vassileva brings together ornate circular mandalas and fluid paisley teardrops across a warm, painterly sunflower yellow ground. Broad brushwork, soft distressing, and layered linework give the pattern an expressive, painterly appearance, balanced by accents of brick red, soft teal blue, olive green, and warm cream. The overlapping motifs create a rhythmic, heritage-inspired composition with a distinct vintage 1970s feel. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper introduces rich artistic warmth to any feature wall or inviting living space.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want visual warmth and a considered, artistic focus. In a living room, placing this wallpaper on a main feature wall behind a sofa allows the full scale of the mandalas and curving paisley flourishes to unfold without feeling crowded. The large motifs and dense layering give the wall substantial visual weight, which can anchor a seating area naturally.

For a dedicated meditation room, snug, or quiet reading nook, the warm golden undertones and fluid ornamental curves create an intimate, enveloping atmosphere. Because the composition contains so much detail and overlapping movement, we suggest giving it a relatively open wall where larger furniture does not cut off the rhythm of the design.

Styling it

When styling around our Mandala and Paisley design, we recommend keeping the larger companion pieces grounded and tactile so the wall remains the primary pattern in the room.

• Pair with warm-toned mid-century or vintage furniture in teak, walnut, or honeyed oak, which naturally complements the rich yellow backdrop and 1970s artistic spirit.
• Choose low-sheen textured upholstery, such as corduroy, woven bouclé, or matte velvet in terracotta, olive, or warm oatmeal, to echo the bohemian warmth without introducing competing prints.
• Incorporate subtle accents in muted antique brass or aged bronze across floor lamps and hardware to tie into the golden hues.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a rich foundation of sunflower yellow, golden ochre, and warm parchment, detailed with deep terracotta red, sage green, and touches of cerulean and slate blue.

To create a cohesive scheme around the wallpaper, we recommend drawing from the lighter cream and warm sand tones within the background for adjoining walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more saturated interior, a muted olive green or soft terracotta on adjacent walls or joinery will pick up the inner details of the mandalas. Deep teal or dusty blue also works beautifully as a companion colour for soft furnishings, pulling out the cooler painterly highlights in the paisley motifs.
