Wallpaper - Batik Barus

Our Batik Barus wallpaper, created by Julia Dreams, combines bold geometric diamond structures with painted-looking brushwork and a lively 1970s revival spirit. Rich coral and warm orange tones establish the foundation of the repeat, framed by off-white diagonal bands and accented by contrasting turquoise centerpieces. What we particularly like is how the hand-painted appearance softens the chevron-inspired geometry, giving the repeat an upbeat and approachable rhythm. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The cheerful energy and structured rhythm make this design an engaging choice for spaces where you want color and movement. We see it working exceptionally well in a playroom or a teenage room, where the playful geometric forms bring personality without overwhelming the room. Because the diagonal grid is distinct, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted accent wall allows the full diamond pattern to repeat cleanly. In a medium-sized space, you can also wrap the design across multiple walls to create an immersive, vibrant environment. Daylight highlights the brushstroke textures within each coral shape, while softer artificial lighting brings out the warmth of the orange backdrop.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the wallpaper stand out, we suggest balancing the room with grounded furniture and clean silhouettes. Warm wood furniture, such as mid-century teak or light birch, naturally echoes the 1970s character of the motif without competing with its shapes.

For textiles and accents, you can draw directly from the turquoise centers with small decorative pieces, or stay relaxed with unpatterned cream and warm white bedding or upholstery. Keeping larger furniture pieces in simple, solid tones ensures the walls remain the focal point of the interior.

Color combinations

The core palette of our design balances warm coral orange and crisp off-white with refreshing touches of turquoise teal. When choosing surrounding wall colors or trim, soft off-whites and pale warm creams keep the room feeling bright and open while framing the pattern cleanly. For cabinetry, baseboards, or nearby painted surfaces, muted turquoise or soft terracotta tones create a cohesive color story that ties directly back to the motif.
