Wallpaper - Ikat Pattern V

Our Ikat Pattern V wallpaper by Farida Zaman brings together rhythmic geometric diamond motifs with the softened, woven-inspired character of traditional ikat textiles. Stepped diamond shapes in muted sage green, dusty olive, warm terracotta, and soft blush pink sit across a subtle vertically striped background. The balanced repeat creates an inviting visual cadence across the wall, pairing artisanal warmth with a relaxed, modern feel. Produced to order as custom wall murals, our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We love the gentle geometric presence of this design in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where you want visual character without overwhelming the room. The medium scale of the diamond pattern and its orderly diagonal arrangement mean it works comfortably across a feature wall behind a headboard or sofa, or across multiple walls in a study or guest bedroom. Because the palette relies on muted pastels and earthy tones rather than high contrast, the design settles naturally into open-plan spaces, framing living or reading zones with subtle architectural interest. In rooms with steady natural daylight, the gentle variations in the sage, olive, and blush tones become especially clear, while softer evening lighting brings out the comforting warmth of the terracotta accents.

Styling it

To complement the textile-inspired geometry of our mural wallpapers, we suggest keeping larger surrounding pieces simple and letting the wallpaper carry the pattern.

• Pair with warm natural woods like honey-toned ash, light oak, or mid-century teak to echo the grounded, southwestern-leaning character of the terracotta and blush motifs.
• Choose upholstered furniture and curtains in simple woven fabrics, such as undyed linen, flat-weave wool, or soft neutral bouclé, ensuring the room feels layered without competing with the diamond pattern.
• Introduce understated matte ceramics, terracotta pottery, or muted black metal light fixtures to provide crisp modern contrast against the softer pastel shapes.

Colour combinations

The design features a considered palette of muted sage green, soft olive, pale blush, and terracotta, set against an off-white background with fine grey pinstripes. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft linen tones allow the wallpaper to remain the focal point while keeping the room bright. For a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the dusty sage or olive green for surrounding skirting boards, architraves, or built-in cabinetry creates a grounded, tailored look. Soft peach or clay-toned accents in cushions or artwork can also be used to quietly echo the warmer diamonds in the motif.
