Wallpaper - Sri Lanka Ikat

Our Sri Lanka Ikat wallpaper brings a lively, heritage-inspired textile rhythm to the wall through bold arched motifs and stylized botanical forms. Designed by Nicetoseeya, the pattern pairs rich rust orange with painterly indigo blue and violet accents against a crisp off-white backdrop, capturing the fluid, feathered edges characteristic of traditional ikat weaves with a watercolor-like appearance. The repeating vertical arches create a warm, energetic structure that gives walls a distinctive decorative identity. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room or living room where its rhythmic geometry can set an inviting, atmospheric tone. On a wider uninterrupted wall, such as behind a dining table or main seating arrangement, the alternating arched crowns and central tree-like motifs have space to unfold their full visual cadence. Because the motif carries strong vertical movement and expressive contrast, it can act as a striking feature wall or wrap around a dedicated dining area to create an intimate, enclosed feeling. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the watercolor nuances within the blues and rusts show their tonal depth clearly, while softer evening lighting brings out the comforting warmth of the terracotta shades.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy and rich palette of this design, we recommend pairing it with furniture in simple, grounded shapes. Mid-tone or darker warm wood furniture, such as a teak or walnut dining table, naturally complements the earthy rust tones without competing with the pattern.

We would keep surrounding upholstery and window dressings relatively plain, choosing textured woven fabrics in natural ecru, warm sand, or deep indigo. Clean lines and solid surfaces help anchor the room, allowing the decorative ikat arches to remain the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around vibrant rust orange and earthy terracotta, balanced by cool indigo blues, deep purple tones, and an open, clean background.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, skirting boards, or doors, soft warm neutrals such as creamy off-white or light biscuit will keep the room feeling bright and cohesive. For a bolder, more enveloping interior, you could draw on the pattern's deeper shades by introducing a deep navy, charcoal-blue, or warm terracotta on woodwork or adjacent architectural details.
