Wallpaper - Favourite Shawl

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Favourite Shawl wallpaper features neat, vertical geometric motifs inspired by Southwestern textile details set against a rich brick red ground. The small-scale motifs alternate between warm ochre, soft muted grey, and crisp off-white linework, creating an orderly yet relaxed rhythm across the surface. This balanced, spaced repeat gives the pattern a refined character that adds subtle character to a space without overwhelming the eye. Like all our wall murals and wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it simple and straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the geometric emblems are compact and evenly spaced across a deep terracotta backdrop, we find this design adapts easily to both intimate nooks and larger communal living spaces. In an entryway or hallway, the warm brick red makes an inviting first impression, with the vertical motifs drawing the eye naturally upward.

In a dining room or living room, we see Favourite Shawl working beautifully across an accent wall behind a sideboard or dining table, but the repeat is quiet and balanced enough to wrap around multiple walls without feeling visually crowded. The earthy background provides a grounded, cosy atmosphere, while the alternating white, grey, and ochre elements catch the light differently throughout the day, bringing subtle life to everyday living spaces.

Styling it

The woven textile inspiration and warm, earthy palette of this wallpaper make it a natural match for interiors that celebrate handcrafted textures, vintage accents, or Southwestern and bohemian influences.

We would pair Favourite Shawl with warm, natural timber furniture such as aged pine, oak, or teak, which complements the rich terracotta background. To balance the geometric line work, incorporate textured fabrics like heavy linen, boucle, or hand-loomed rugs in cream, natural stone, or warm beige. Matte black metal accents or muted brass light fixtures add crisp structure to the room without clashing with the subtle linework of the pattern.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Favourite Shawl design centres on a deep brick red, highlighted with accents of soft ochre, muted sage-grey, and warm white.

When choosing paint colours and materials to sit alongside this wallpaper, we recommend drawing directly from its softer accent tones. Warm off-white or soft cream on adjoining walls and woodwork creates a clean, classic contrast that highlights the rich red. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping feel, consider deep terracotta, warm clay, or earthy olive tones on trims and cabinetry. For larger soft furnishings, neutral sandy hues and muted rust tones keep the overall room feeling cohesive and calm.
