Wallpaper - 70s Ikat I

Our 70s Ikat I wallpaper brings a bold geometric rhythm to the room, using stacked diamond motifs with feathered, textile-inspired edges. The composition balances rich saffron, warm orange, and earthy brown tones against a soft cream backdrop, creating a warm and artistic presence across the wall. The symmetrical repeat captures the visual character of woven ikat textiles, giving the geometric layout a lively, handcrafted quality. Produced as made-to-measure murals printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang while introducing distinctive pattern to your interior.

In the room

In a living room, this design works particularly well on an accent wall behind a main sofa or across an uninterrupted dining area wall where the full geometric repeat has space to breathe. The repeating diamond structure creates continuous horizontal and vertical movement, making it a great focal point in spaces dedicated to entertaining or relaxed gathering. For a holiday home or a sitting area with plenty of natural daylight, the warm saffron and terracotta-toned oranges catch the light and create an open, cheerful atmosphere. Because the pattern has a strong graphic identity, giving it a relatively open wall lets the symmetry anchor the whole layout.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing its energetic geometry with grounded, organic textures and warm furnishings:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as teak, mid-tone oak, or rich walnut, which harmonises naturally with the brown and saffron elements in the print.
• Choose upholstered seating in quiet, solid neutrals like cream, oat, or muted tan to let the wall pattern remain the primary visual statement.
• Introduce woven natural fibres through jute floor rugs or unbleached cotton curtains to echo the textile-inspired, artisanal feel of the ikat print without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The palette within the design is defined by saffron, deep warm orange, chocolate brown, and a light cream base. To create a cohesive look across the wider room, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with warm off-white or soft biscuit paint on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you want to lean into a richer palette, accent cushions, ceramic lamps, or painted shelving in deep terracotta, russet, or burnt ochre will draw out the warmer tones from the diamonds. For contrast, subtle additions of matte black metalwork or deep charcoal accents help frame the pattern and keep the retro aesthetic feeling sharp and contemporary.
