Wallpaper - Boho Symbols Purple

Created by Jess Aiken, our Boho Symbols Purple wallpaper pairs a rich eggplant purple backdrop with playful geometric motifs in a painterly watercolour look. The composition arranges layered teal and yellow diamonds alongside framed magenta squares and small mint-green crosses into a structured, rhythmic grid. This balance between precise geometric placement and soft, hand-painted visual texture gives the pattern its whimsical 1980s retro character. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, offering a distinctive accent for creative and expressive spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces that welcome colour and playful personality, such as a creative home office, a vibrant playroom, a teenage bedroom, or a powder room. The clean repetition of the diamond and square elements brings a sense of order to the wall, while the energetic colour contrast keeps the surface engaging. In a bedroom or living room, we would place this pattern across an accent wall behind a bed or low sofa, where the repeat has room to establish its rhythm without competing with taller shelving. In smaller spaces like a powder room or study, wrapping multiple walls can turn a compact room into an enveloping, jewel-toned jewel box.

Styling it

Because the pattern carries a strong retro energy with shades of eggplant, turquoise, yellow, and magenta, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes simple and modern. Mid-century silhouettes or contemporary pieces with clean lines ground the playful geometry naturally. We especially like pairing this design with warm timber finishes or painted furniture in muted neutral tones to let the wallpaper remain the focal point. To complement the motif, you might incorporate small decorative accents in matte ceramics or simple brushed brass hardware, balancing the artistic look of the watercolour forms with clean, defined textures.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on a deep eggplant purple base accented by bright yellow, turquoise-teal, berry magenta, and mint green. When decorating around it, you can take inspiration from the motifs to create a cohesive scheme. For adjacent walls, soft warm off-whites, pale dusty lilac, or muted sage green provide a calm backdrop that allows the purple background to stand out. If you prefer a richer and more dramatic interior, deep plum, aubergine, or dark forest green on adjoining woodwork and trim will echo the depth of the wallpaper while creating a seamless, sophisticated transition.
