Wallpaper - Batik Makasar

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Batik Makasar wallpaper combines structured geometric rhythm with the visual character of woven textile art. The pattern arranges warm cream diamond lines across the surface, accented by expressive red, coral, and deep navy or charcoal geometric focal points. What we particularly like about this design is how the retro, seventies-inspired geometry is softened by painted, textile-like brushwork and subtle tonal gradations. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this retro geometric design working especially well in a living room or a hallway and staircase area where its diagonal diamond repeat can introduce energy and graphic movement. The repeating motif has a clear visual rhythm, making it striking on a main feature wall behind a sofa or dining table. Because the cream base keeps the overall contrast balanced, our wallpaper also sits comfortably across multiple connecting walls without overwhelming the room. In a hallway or staircase, the angled lines naturally guide the eye upward, complementing the architecture of the space.

Styling it

To complement the 1970s revival feel of this wallpaper, we would pair it with warm mid-century or retro furniture profiles. Pieces in warm woods such as teak or medium oak ground the lighter cream backdrop, while clean silhouettes prevent the geometric pattern from feeling crowded. For surrounding upholstery and accents, picking up on the rich coral or deep navy tones in cushions or a low-profile armchair creates a cohesive, considered scheme.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a warm cream and off-white base, punctuated by coral-red, scarlet, and dark navy-charcoal centres. When selecting colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-white or light biscuit tones create a soft, seamless transition that keeps the room bright. For a bolder, more graphic interior, deep ink blue or terracotta accents on surrounding trim, doors, or cabinetry will draw out the rich tones embedded in the motif.
