Wallpaper - Altamont

Our Altamont wallpaper, designed by Julia Dreams, brings a bold, graphic presence to the wall with an eclectic pattern of stylised, whimsical eyes set against a rich carmine red ground. Each eye is illustrated with crisp outlines and playful interior details, ranging from radiating lashes and starry pupils to delicate floral centres and concentric rings in mustard yellow, muted teal, cream, and soft blue. The dense, repeating rhythm creates an expressive, retro-inspired aesthetic full of character. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love this design for spaces where you want the walls to carry real personality and visual energy. It works exceptionally well in a creative home office, an art studio, or a teenage bedroom, where its quirky, illustrative motifs can serve as a striking focal point. Because the repeat is dense and the background colour is intense, we often recommend using it on a dedicated accent wall, such as behind a desk, an easel, or a bedhead. In an open-plan room, it can also define a specific zone, giving an alcove or a reading corner a distinct and vibrant backdrop.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we suggest balancing the wall with furniture in clean lines and relatively understated finishes. Natural timber in mid to dark tones, such as teak or walnut, complements the warm carmine red backdrop without competing for attention.

• Balance the energetic pattern by pairing it with simple, solid-coloured textiles in off-white, oatmeal, or washed linen rather than competing prints.
• Choose furniture with matte black metal accents or mid-century silhouettes to echo the strong graphic line work in the illustrations.
• Incorporate vintage ceramic pieces or simple studio lighting that highlights the quirky, retro character of the design.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a deep carmine red base, accented by mustard yellow, duck-egg teal, cream, and slate blue. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend pulling out the soft cream from the sclera of the eyes to keep the room bright and balanced. For a bolder, cohesive look, deep teal or muted petrol blue on surrounding architraves and doors creates a rich, design-led contrast. Soft ochre or warm terracotta accents in soft furnishings also harmonise effortlessly with the primary tones of the pattern.
