Wallpaper - Empain

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Empain wallpaper brings together rhythmic geometric arches and stylised celestial sun motifs in warm, earthy tones. Fine linear rainbow-like arches combine with caramel and terracotta sunbursts across a light, creamy backdrop, giving the pattern a distinct contemporary boho character with a subtle 1970s graphic influence. The repeating balance of clean linear geometry and radiating sunbeams gives the surface an artistic, tranquil presence. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

With its rhythmic arches and vertical lines, this design brings a natural sense of height and calm movement to a room. We especially like it along a hallway or staircase wall, where the rising arch forms complement the natural flow of the space and draw the eye upward. The serene, grounded palette also makes it a wonderful fit for a quiet meditation room or a creative art studio, where the pattern provides visual interest without feeling overwhelming or busy. In spaces with ample natural daylight, the fine line work stays crisp while the warm caramel and terracotta tones take on a soft, inviting glow.

Styling it

To complement the warm, modern bohemian feel of this pattern, we suggest pairing it with natural textures and simple silhouettes. Furniture in warm wood tones such as oak or rattan pairs effortlessly with the earthy palette of the arches, while matte ceramic pottery and soft woven textiles help ground the graphic elements. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively low and uncluttered allows the vertical arch motifs to remain clearly visible and maintain their airy rhythm across the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres around earthy terracotta, caramel brown, and warm golden tones set against a soft off-white background. For adjacent painted walls, trim, or larger textiles, we suggest picking up soft warm whites, sandy creams, or gentle ecru tones to let the graphic elements stand out naturally. If you want to introduce deeper contrasts, rich clay, warm ochre, or burnt sienna tones on surrounding woodwork or accent pieces mirror the warmest shades in the sunburst motifs.
