Wallpaper - Ikat Pattern III

Our Ikat Pattern III wallpaper, created with Farida Zaman, brings together rhythmic horizontal bands and delicate vertical linework inspired by woven textiles. Set across a soft off-white ground, the design balances painterly stripes in sea green, earthy coral, dusty rose, muted lavender, and olive green with fine, combed vertical strokes and dashed accent lines. What we particularly appreciate about this composition is its relaxed, handcrafted character; the gently uneven bands soften the geometry of standard stripes to create an inviting visual flow. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a calm yet playful character to residential interiors.

In the room

The horizontal orientation of the bands naturally guides the eye across the space, making this pattern particularly effective for expanding the visual feel of long walls or framing specific functional zones. In a bedroom or nursery, we like how the gentle rhythm creates a restful backdrop behind a headboard or cot without overwhelming the space. The open white background and light pattern weight also allow it to work across all four walls in a home office, playroom, or hallway staircase without feeling visually heavy. Because the repeat combines broad horizontal stripes with fine vertical hatching, the design maintains interest whether viewed from across a living room or seen up close in a compact entryway.

Styling it

The textile-inspired character of our design pairs naturally with relaxed, craft-led furnishings and varied textures. We would style this wallpaper alongside light, warm-toned woods like natural ash or birch, which mirror the earthy warmth of the coral and blush stripes. To ground the pattern, introduce upholstery and cushions in soft, unbleached linen or textured cotton canvas. Painted furniture in soft sage or muted off-white also complements the hand-painted appearance of the lines, keeping the overall interior feeling light, layered, and comfortable.

Colour combinations

The pattern combines refreshing sea green, earthy coral, soft peach, dusty lavender, and muted deep green against a clean, pale off-white backdrop. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest pulling out the softer background tones with warm chalky whites or pale linen paints on adjoining walls and woodwork. For a richer, complementary look on skirting boards, shelving, or accent chairs, deeper earthy terracotta, muted eucalyptus, or soft moss green will highlight the darker stripes within the print while keeping the overall palette balanced.
