Wallpaper - Ancient Pathways I

In Ancient Pathways I by Nikita Jariwala, we have brought together abstract collage-like forms and painterly textures to create a graphic yet organic composition. Slate grey and charcoal shapes, detailed with expressive white and soft pinkish-grey brushstrokes, sit nestled within earthy, warm taupe-grey pathways. The contrast between the darker geometric fragments and the lighter mortar-like channels gives the design a rhythmic, architectural feel on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper murals make a distinctive addition to modern interiors.

In the room

We see Ancient Pathways I working particularly well in spaces where its bold composition and abstract layout can take centre stage. In a living room or behind a dining table, giving this design a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the balance of geometric shapes and curving pathways to unfold naturally. Because the pattern has a strong horizontal and mosaic-like flow, it anchors open-plan areas without overwhelming the eye. It is also an intriguing choice for an entrance hall or a dedicated study, introducing artistic depth and structure right from the first glance.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we recommend letting the graphic shapes remain the primary focal point of the room. Clean-lined contemporary furniture in warm natural oak or walnut complements the earthy taupe tones, while black metal accents echo the deeper charcoal notes within the abstract cut-outs. To balance the structured collage aesthetic, introduce tactile elements like woven linen upholstery, a low-pile wool rug, or minimalist ceramic vases.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around deep slate grey, muted charcoal, and earthy taupe, highlighted with soft white and subtle pale blush tones. For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, stone grey, or soft taupe paint shades will naturally extend the background channels. If you want to lean into a moodier look, pairing the mural wallpapers with deep charcoal trim or smoky grey accents creates a sophisticated, cohesive feel.
