Wallpaper - Squares in Squares

Our Squares in Squares wallpaper by Mary Urban brings a cheerful geometric rhythm to interior walls with its stepped diamond medallions and soft watercolor-like texture. Rendered in a balanced pastel palette of candy pink, mint green, sage, teal, and soft peach against a pale, speckled backdrop, the repeating motifs offer a lighthearted nod to 1970s boho and southwestern textile traditions. The visible brushstrokes and translucent layering give the structured shapes an approachable, hand-painted feel rather than a rigid graphic edge. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings playful personality and airy color into family living spaces, children's bedrooms, and creative corners.

In the room

The open scale and rhythmic repeat of Squares in Squares make it versatile across different wall dimensions. In a nursery, toddler room, or playroom, we love using it across all four walls to build an immersive, joyful setting that still feels gentle thanks to the pastel saturation. Because the geometric motifs are spaced evenly, the pattern handles interruptions from windows, cribs, and low storage units without losing its compositional balance.

In a bedroom, dressing room, or powder room, we see this working wonderfully as a focal accent behind a headboard or vanity. The motif carries enough graphic character to stand out on a single wall, while the light background ensures smaller rooms feel bright and open.

Styling it

To complement the artisanal watercolor aesthetic, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with light, natural finishes and uncomplicated silhouettes:

• Pale woods like bleached birch, blonde maple, or natural ash keep the room feeling relaxed and contemporary without competing with the colorful geometry.
• Low-sheen painted furniture in soft cream, off-white, or muted mint allows the stepped diamond motifs to remain the primary decorative focus.
• Light, breathable fabrics such as unbleached cotton or washed linen provide a clean, tactile balance to the rhythmic pattern across curtains, bedding, or upholstery.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a playful mix of pastel pink, peach, mint, turquoise, and sage green over a softly textured off-white ground. When selecting surrounding wall paints, trim colors, or large decor items, pull directly from these core shades to create a harmonious space.

For a cohesive and calm setting, pair the wallpaper with warm off-white, ivory, or pale ecru trim to extend the brightness of the base paper. If you prefer subtle color on neighboring painted walls, a desaturated sage green or whisper-soft blush pink will tie effortlessly into the medallion tones without overwhelming the space.
