Wallpaper - Batik Barus

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Batik Barus wallpaper brings together bold geometric diamond shapes and a spirited 1970s revival aesthetic. The composition balances broad coral and warm orange tones with crisp diagonal lines and vivid turquoise accent insets. A subtle painted texture runs through the forms, softening the structure and giving the repeating chevron rhythm a crafted, batik-inspired character. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an energetic, warm presence to the wall.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in dynamic, informal spaces such as a playroom or a teenage room, where its lively geometry and upbeat palette set an expressive tone. Because the diamond repeat is defined and rhythmic, it works brilliantly across a main feature wall, such as behind a desk or a reading nook, without overwhelming the entire space. In slightly larger rooms with good natural daylight, the contrast between the warm coral background and the sharp turquoise cutaways really comes alive.

Styling it

To let the geometric pattern lead the room, we would keep the larger surrounding furniture relatively simple and grounded. Mid-toned wood furniture or painted white pieces pair naturally with the 1970s character without competing with the wall. For soft furnishings, solid-toned textiles in warm terracotta, cream, or muted teal echo the shapes in the motif and help tie the room together comfortably.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its coral orange base, off-white linear framing, and bright turquoise accents. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light warm stone creates a clean, calm border that frames the pattern nicely. If you want to lean into a richer palette, pairing it with accents in deep teal, warm terracotta, or muted peach draws directly from the artwork's balanced warmth.
