Our Basketweave wallpaper brings an energetic, 1970s revival spirit to the wall through an interlocking diagonal wave pattern created by Julia Dreams. The design draws on the visual character of a classic woven ribbon or basketry structure, rendered with screenprint-inspired graphic stripes in blush pink, dusty denim blue, charcoal, and warm cream. The rhythmic curvature of each band creates a lively sense of movement and visual depth, balancing playful retro geometry with a soft pastel palette. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your precise wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.
In the room
We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce movement and pattern without overwhelming the room. In a living room, it makes a confident accent wall behind a sofa or low credenza, where the diagonal flow of the repeat draws the eye across the space. Because the curved lines create a continuous visual rhythm, it also suits hallways and staircases where the architecture naturally guides motion. On a longer, unbroken wall, the repetition of the woven bands unfolds fully, giving the space an engaging graphic identity. In more compact entryways, using it across multiple walls wraps the space in a warm, decorative backdrop that immediately sets an inviting tone.
Styling it
The distinct retro character and graphic lines of this design pair naturally with interiors that lean into mid-century modern or contemporary eclectic styles. We would keep the surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple so the wallpaper remains the primary focal point. Low-profile furniture with clean, rounded contours or soft curves echoes the wave-like bands of the motif, while warm wood finishes such as teak or medium oak complement the softness of the blush pink and cream stripes.
To keep the balance grounded, we suggest pairing the pattern with solid, unpatterned textiles rather than competing geometric prints. A plain wool rug in an off-white or soft grey helps anchor the floor, while upholstery in muted slate or textured cream allows the colourful rhythm of the wall to stand out clearly.
Colour combinations
The wallpaper features a balanced palette of blush pink, muted denim blue, dark charcoal, and soft cream. When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls, trim, or larger furniture pieces, you can take cues directly from these tones:
- Cream and soft off-white: Ideal for woodwork, skirting boards, and adjoining walls, keeping the overall interior feeling open, bright, and harmonious with the background stripes.
- Dusty blue and slate: A great choice for accent furniture, painted cabinetry, or curtains, drawing out the cooler stripes in the weave and adding depth.
- Charcoal and deep slate: Deep neutral accents in curtain poles, lighting fixtures, or shelving provide a sharp contrast that references the dark defining lines of the motif.
- Blush and terracotta: Muted, warm rose or earthy pink tones on soft furnishings create a tonal connection that enhances the retro warmth of the pattern.
