Wallpaper - Chanin

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Chanin wallpaper brings together radiating geometric line work with a warm 1970s retro character. The repeating motif features fan-shaped line clusters and smaller cross-like accents arranged across an earthy burnt orange backdrop, creating a balanced visual rhythm inspired by classic screenprints. The contrast between the deep rust lines and softer cream details gives the graphic shapes an expressive yet grounded presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings distinct personality to living areas and entryways.

In the room

We see Chanin working especially well in living rooms and entryways where its rhythmic geometric repeat can establish a clear focal point. In an entryway or hallway staircase, the continuous flow of the fan-shaped shapes creates an engaging sense of movement as you move through the space.

For a living room, we would give this design a generous, relatively uninterrupted feature wall behind a main seating area. Because the line work repeats with consistent spacing, the pattern holds its structure well across wider walls without feeling chaotic. In rooms that receive plenty of daylight, the warm burnt orange background feels vibrant and welcoming, while softer evening lighting deepens the earthy tones and accentuates the darker line work.

Styling it

The 1970s revival feel of Chanin makes it a natural partner for retro-inspired and mid-century modern interiors. We would pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture such as teak or dark walnut, which echoes the organic warmth of the burnt orange ground.

To keep the focus on the graphic line art, we suggest balancing the wall with simpler, solid-coloured upholstery in neutral tones or deep olive. Low-profile furniture with clean, structural lines complements the geometric structure of the print, while touches of brushed bronze or aged brass hardware subtly reflect the retro aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Chanin wallpaper is rooted in rich burnt orange, paired with deep rust linework and soft, off-white accents.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or trim, warm neutral shades such as soft linen, biscuit, or warm cream create a seamless transition without competing with the motif. If you want to introduce a complementary contrast across larger textiles or accent furniture, deep olive green or warm mustard tones pair naturally with the earthy orange backdrop. For skirting boards and doors, keeping to an off-white or soft warm grey helps frame the wallpaper cleanly.
