Wallpaper - Akka

Created by Julia Dreams, our Akka wallpaper features a lively geometric composition inspired by 1970s retro design and the visual texture of traditional screenprints. The pattern brings together kaleidoscopic arrangements of small triangles, diamonds, and circular rhythms in warm dark orange, earthy brown, muted slate blue, and crisp off-white. The dense mosaic-like rhythm gives the surface an energetic, playful presence while maintaining an orderly repeating symmetry across the wall. Made to measure and entirely PVC-free, the wallpaper has a subtle structure in the paper that brings quiet depth to the printed geometry.

In the room

Because of its tight geometric repeat and vibrant 1970s character, Akka works exceptionally well in transitional spaces where you want to make a bold first impression. In a hallway, entryway, or staircase, the continuous kaleidoscopic symmetry creates visual momentum without overwhelming the architecture. The detailed mosaic effect also makes it a standout choice for a powder room or compact cloakroom, where full-room wallpapering wraps the space in a warm, graphic cocoon.

For larger living rooms or open spaces, we would give Akka a focused feature wall, perhaps behind a low sideboard or simple sofa. The intricate geometric detail invites closer viewing, so positioning it along a wall that remains relatively free of tall, bulky furniture allows the full rhythm of the print to be appreciated.

Styling it

When styling around a pattern as visually rich as Akka, we prefer to balance its detailed geometry with clean, understated silhouettes. Mid-century modern furniture in warm teak or walnut naturally echoes the retro 1970s mood of the print while keeping the overall look grounded and intentional.

To let the pattern take centre stage, choose upholstery and soft furnishings in solid colours rather than competing prints. Smooth painted surfaces, matte ceramics, and low-profile lighting fixtures provide a quiet counterbalance to the busy mosaic visual texture.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Akka design is built on a rich dark orange balanced by deep brown, soft slate blue, and a light cream background.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, pulling out the warm orange tone creates a spirited, unified look. For a calmer, more grounded contrast, deep charcoal or slate blue trim frames the wallpaper beautifully. If you prefer to keep surrounding walls neutral, warm off-white or soft biscuit shades match the wallpaper's ground tone without competing with the vibrant geometric motifs.
