Wallpaper - Gradient Squares

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Gradient Squares wallpaper brings together bold geometric structure and a distinctive 1970s revival feel. The motif is arranged in an orderly grid of square tiles, each divided into radiating triangular segments that create a dynamic fan or pinwheel motion across the wall. Fine, light line work delineates each section, balancing deep forest greens and muted sage tones with rich burnt orange, warm ochre, and soft terracotta shades. The result is a graphic yet grounded pattern with a woven, textile-inspired visual character that adds warmth and architectural rhythm to an interior. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love how the rhythmic geometry of our Gradient Squares design establishes an immediate focal point without overwhelming the space. In a living room, it works particularly well on an accent wall behind a sofa or along a main entertaining wall, where the repeating squares can create a sense of structure and scale. The radiating lines draw the eye across the surface, making it equally striking in transitional spaces such as a hallway or staircase wall. Because the repeat is regular and balanced, it can comfortably define an area in open-plan layouts or bring tailored personality to a dedicated entry space.

Styling it

The 1970s geometric character of this design naturally complements mid-century and retro-inspired interiors, but it pairs just as effectively with clean contemporary furnishings. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple so the graphic wallpaper remains the primary visual statement.

• Combine the wallpaper with warm timber pieces, such as teak or medium oak, which pick up on the earthy orange and ochre tones in the print.
• Choose upholstered seating in solid, neutral fabrics like oatmeal or charcoal to ground the room and prevent visual competition with the sharp geometric lines.
• Incorporate matte black or dark bronze accents in lighting fixtures and hardware to echo the deep green and charcoal lines within the artwork.

Colour combinations

Our design features a rich palette of burnt orange, ochre, peach, muted sage, and deep forest green, set against fine off-white dividing lines. To create a cohesive look across adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend drawing from the softer background tones. A warm off-white or soft linen shade on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling light while allowing the mural wallpapers to stand out. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, matching woodwork or baseboards to the dark olive or deep green tones from the pattern creates a sophisticated, tailored finish.
