Wallpaper - Martha's Squares

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Martha's Squares wallpaper brings a structured, textile-inspired grid to life through delicate hand-drawn markings. Set against a muted moss green background, the design alternates between terracotta and cream geometric symbols, including zigzags, dashed lines, diamonds, and chevron accents arranged in neat, modular squares. The rhythm feels both orderly and relaxed, evoking the warmth of traditional woven cloth with a distinct Southwestern character. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this geometric design working exceptionally well in transition spaces such as an entryway, a hallway, or running up along a staircase wall. The repeating square composition provides visual structure without overwhelming narrower footprints, making it a natural choice for walls that are partly broken up by doorways, coat hooks, or architectural turns.

Because the scale of the individual blocks is balanced and repeating, it also sits comfortably across longer continuous surfaces. In a relaxed living room or home study, giving this wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the alternating directions of the line work to create a continuous, rhythmic backdrop behind lower furniture like a credenza or writing desk.

Styling it

The woven aesthetic and artisanal feel of the linework lend themselves naturally to spaces with organic textures and thoughtful detailing. We would pair this design with warm timber finishes, such as mid-tone oak or teak, which reflect the earthy undertones of the linework without competing with its geometry.

To keep the balance right in a hallway or entry, pair the wallpaper with unlacquered brass hardware or matte black metal accents for lighting and wall hooks. Surrounding decorative textiles, like flat-weave runners or simple cushions, work best in solid, tactile weaves rather than busy prints, letting the wall mural provide the main graphic character in the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a calm, earthy base of muted moss green, layered with warm terracotta linework and soft cream detailing.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend echoing the cream tones on neighbouring painted walls or woodwork to keep the room light and open. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the terracotta shade on an adjoining archway, baseboard, or built-in cabinetry provides a striking and grounded contrast against the sage and moss green background.
