Wallpaper - Horta

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Horta wallpaper brings a warm, 1970s revival feel to the wall through an open scattering of stylised sun motifs. Set against a rich terracotta rust background, the sunburst symbols vary in their ray shapes, some radiating with sharp geometric points, others with gentle wavy curves, and several rendered in delicate stippled dots. The contrasting golden ochre tones stand out clearly against the earthy base, creating a playful yet grounded rhythm across the surface. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want warmth and personality without an overpowering, heavy pattern. In a playroom, teenage bedroom, or home art studio, the dispersed sun symbols create visual interest across the entire wall while leaving plenty of open background space to keep the atmosphere relaxed. Because the repeat has generous breathing room between the motifs, it functions beautifully on a primary feature wall behind a desk or bed, but it can also wrap around multiple walls in smaller rooms without feeling crowded.

Styling it

The 1970s inspiration behind the design makes it a natural fit for retro-leaning or bohemian interiors. We would pair this wallpaper with warm, natural timber furniture such as teak, rattan, or mid-tone pine, which echo the earthy warmth of the rust background. To balance the graphic nature of the sun motifs, keep surrounding fabrics and upholstery relatively plain. Simple textured cottons, unbleached canvas, or brushed corduroy in cream and warm sand tones allow the pattern to remain the main decorative element in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a deep terracotta rust ground accented by golden ochre suns. When choosing paint colours and decor for surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale biscuit, and muted sand tones will create a soft, inviting transition that lets the wallpaper lead. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in rich olive green, mustard, or burnt amber create a cohesive, earthy palette that highlights the 1970s aesthetic.
