Wallpaper - Optical Maze

Our Optical Maze wallpaper brings a dynamic optical rhythm to the wall through overlapping concentric circles and arched bands in navy, soft steel blue, and crisp white. The screenprint-inspired geometry layers curved lines across one another, creating an intricate moiré lattice that shifts between deep shadow and light as the eye moves across the surface. This structured 1970s revival pattern gives the room a distinct sense of movement while maintaining a clean, balanced symmetry. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the geometric repeat carries a strong visual tempo, we especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full cadence of the circles can unfold. In a living room, it works wonderfully as a confident feature wall behind a low-profile sofa, grounding the seating area without overwhelming the rest of the space. In a dedicated study or home office, the balanced blue geometry provides an engaging architectural backdrop that gives the room definition and character. The bold contrast between dark navy and bright white holds its clarity across larger wall areas, while the mid-blue overlays keep the graphic transitions smooth under both natural daylight and ambient evening lamps.

Styling it

To let the geometric lines take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has simple silhouettes and solid finishes. Low-slung contemporary pieces or mid-century modern credenzas with clean horizontal lines balance the curving circular motion of the wallpaper.

We would keep surrounding soft furnishings relatively calm, choosing plain woven textiles rather than competing patterned fabrics. Matte black metal accents or clean brushed steel fittings echo the sharp, modern precision of the graphic lines, while warm walnut or rich smoked oak furniture can provide a grounding contrast to the cool blue tones.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself combines deep navy blue, cool slate blue, and clean white. To complement this palette, we recommend drawing out the lighter white background for adjacent walls, skirting boards, and architraves to keep the overall room bright and cohesive. For a richer, more tailored atmosphere, deep midnight blues or dark charcoal painted surfaces on neighbouring walls can create an intimate setting around the wallpaper. Muted grey-greens and soft taupes also work well as neutral counterpoints in upholstered seating or curtains.
