Wallpaper - Bali Ikat

Our Bali Ikat wallpaper, created by Nicetoseeya, brings a bold, painterly take on traditional ikat textiles to the wall. The design features diamond motifs and expressive vertical line work rendered with a vibrant, watercolour-like wash. Saturated carmine red and rich rust tones are balanced by accents of slate blue, navy, and soft orange against a crisp white ground. The fluid, dripping brush marks and layered geometric shapes give the repeat an energetic, artistic rhythm. Produced as custom made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design makes a striking focal point in living spaces and creative studios.

In the room

With its high visual contrast and expressive geometry, we see this pattern working particularly well on a feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home art studio. In a larger living room, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or low credenza allows the full diamond repeat and painterly drips to be appreciated without distraction. The vertical movement of the motif also lends itself well to rooms with higher ceilings, where the dripping brushstrokes naturally draw the eye upward. Because the composition is so dynamic, keeping adjacent walls in a quieter, solid tone helps anchor the space while letting the mural wallpapers carry the decorative weight.

Styling it

To complement the eclectic, 1970s-inspired energy of the pattern, we would pair it with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Mid-century shapes in warm, mid-toned woods or simple painted finishes provide visual stability against the fluid watercolour strokes. In an eclectic maximalist interior, you can introduce textured upholstery or layered cushions in solid terracotta, denim blue, or warm cream. We suggest keeping surrounding large-scale patterns to a minimum so the wallpaper remains the clear hero of the room.

Colour combinations

The motif centers on deep carmine red and earthy rust, balanced by cool slate blue, deep navy, and crisp white. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, a soft warm white or pale off-white matches the background and keeps the room feeling light and open. For a moodier, more enveloping palette, pulling out the slate blue or deep navy from the smaller accents creates a rich, tonal contrast that highlights the vibrant red shapes.
