Wallpaper - Egyptian Ornaments - Khnum

Inspired by historic decorative motifs, our Egyptian Ornaments - Khnum wallpaper brings a striking architectural rhythm to the wall through stacked horizontal bands and stylised geometric forms. The composition moves through three distinct tiers: scalloped green arches lined with fine black hatching at the top, an elongated band of alternating scarlet red, emerald green, and soft grey teardrops framed by red dots in the centre, and an earthy lower register of rounded ochre yellow forms set beneath bold red panels. Clean outlines and rich, contrasting colours give the print a distinct Art Deco sensibility while celebrating ancient heritage. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The strong horizontal frieze structure of this design makes it particularly effective in spaces where you want to emphasise width, line, and decorative structure. In a hallway or entryway, running the pattern along a main wall creates an immediate sense of arrival and directional flow. Because the repeating bands are crisp and distinct, they also anchor living rooms and dining rooms beautifully, working especially well behind low-profile credenzas, sideboards, or sofas where the tiered geometry remains clearly on display. In a library or home office, the motif introduces graphic character and warmth without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The clear lines and vintage aesthetic of this pattern pair naturally with tailored, design-conscious interiors. We would lean towards warm, rich woods such as walnut or mid-toned teak to echo the grounded ochre and red tones in the lower tier. To keep the focus on the wallpaper's graphic bands, surround it with furniture featuring clean silhouettes and unpatterned upholstery in textured neutrals, such as deep cream or charcoal. Accents in aged brass or matte black iron complement the fine linework and historic geometry across the print.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced palette of scarlet red, deep emerald green, muted ochre yellow, soft grey, and crisp black outlines, all grounded by an off-white base. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, parchment tones, or pale plaster greys create a bright and seamless backdrop that lets the pattern lead. If you prefer a richer and more enveloping mood, drawing out the deep forest green or a muted brick red for adjacent walls, doors, or skirting boards creates a sophisticated, tonal scheme.
