Wallpaper - Black and Gold Geometric VII

Designed by Shirley Novak, our Black and Gold Geometric VII wallpaper brings together bold tribal-inspired pattern bands with rich painterly texture. The composition is divided into distinct vertical panels showcasing chevron zigzags, interlocking diamond mazes, and undulating wave forms. Deep black and earthy umber tones are set against warm off-white, with painterly brushwork revealing golden and ochre undertones across the textured strokes. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on strong vertical panels and expressive rhythmic geometry, we especially like this design on a wider living room wall. Giving the pattern room to unfold horizontally allows the alternating chevron, diamond, and wave motifs to establish their full graphic balance. It works wonderfully as a focused feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza where the vertical movement draws the eye upwards without competing with tall furniture. For a creative home studio or dedicated library, this wallpaper delivers an inspiring, gallery-like presence that defines the character of the entire space.

Styling it

The expressive, painted character of this design lends itself naturally to contemporary boho, eclectic, or postmodern interior schemes. We would pair it with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes to let the dynamic pattern carry the main decorative weight.

• Choose low-profile furniture in rich dark woods or warm natural timber to echo the earthy umber and black tones in the motif.
• Introduce plain woven textiles, such as boucle or heavy linen in cream or oatmeal, keeping solid upholstery quiet against the rhythmic wall panels.
• Incorporate matte black metal hardware or aged bronze lighting accents to reflect the bold graphic line work.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep charcoal black, warm umber brown, and soft cream, enriched by subtle ochre highlights in the brush marks. To complement these tones, we suggest styling surrounding walls and woodwork in warm off-white, parchment, or muted bone rather than stark brilliant white, which can feel too harsh against the painterly texture. For accent pieces and cabinetry, deep espresso, charcoal, or warm ochre draw out the rich, earthy depth present in the wallpaper.
