Wallpaper - Overlapping Triangles

Our Overlapping Triangles wallpaper brings a graphic, architectural rhythm to the wall through layered angular planes, sharp diagonal lines, and subtle drop-shadow effects. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between bold retro geometry and a sophisticated colour palette, combining deep teal and cool turquoise with warm coral, soft terracotta, and pale buttery cream. The layered geometric forms create an intriguing sense of visual depth, making it an engaging focal point that feels artistic rather than rigid. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that complements the clean graphic composition.

In the room

Because of the strong diagonal movement and multi-layered composition, we see this design working exceptionally well across a main feature wall in a contemporary living room or a dedicated creative studio. Giving the pattern an uninterrupted wall allows the larger triangular facets and directional shifts to unfold without visual disruption. In an open-plan living area, positioning our wall murals behind a low sofa or along an open dining wall anchors the space while adding vibrant energy. The balance of warm coral and cooler teal tones also means the design adapts easily to shifting daylight, revealing subtle shifts in tone from bright morning light to dimmer evening ambiance.

Styling it

To let the geometric architecture of the wallpaper take center stage, we recommend pairing it with clean-lined, modern furniture that does not compete with the angular pattern.

• Choose low-profile furniture in neutral upholstery or smooth matte finishes to keep the visual focus balanced across the room.
• Integrate warm timber elements, such as mid-tone oak or teak, to echo the retro undertones of the composition and soften the sharp diagonal edges.
• Introduce minimalist lighting fixtures with soft curves or globes to provide a pleasing contrast to the dominant triangular geometry.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on a distinctive harmony of contrasting warm and cool shades, led by saturated teal, turquoise, and dusky blue alongside salmon pink, terracotta, and soft ivory. For surrounding painted walls, a muted off-white or a very soft grey provides a calm backdrop that allows the pattern to stand out cleanly. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deep teal on adjacent walls or trim creates a striking backdrop. For soft furnishings and decor, subtle accents in terracotta, warm blush, or unbleached linen will tie the room together effortlessly.
