Wallpaper - Black and Gold Geometric VII

Our Black and Gold Geometric VII wallpaper, created by Shirley Novak, brings a bold, painterly energy to geometric design. Arranged in expressive vertical panels, the composition balances dynamic chevron zigzags, interlocking diamond mazes, and flowing waves. Rich umber and charcoal tones meet warm, earthy ochre highlights across an off-white background, with visible brushwork and a distressed, painted appearance that gives every line an organic feel. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and brings an artistic presence to any interior.

In the room

In a spacious living room or a dedicated creative studio, we see this design working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. Because the pattern relies on vertical rhythm and alternating bands of geometric movement, giving it generous horizontal room allows each distinct stripe to be appreciated in full. The high-contrast palette naturally draws the eye, making it a compelling backdrop behind a low sofa or along a main wall where furniture does not obscure the lower details. In rooms with ample natural daylight, the warm ochre accents and brushwork variations become particularly vibrant, while softer lamplight brings out the deeper umber and charcoal tones for a grounded, intimate feel.

Styling it

To let the strong graphic composition take center stage, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features clean, unhurried silhouettes. Low-slung seating in neutral upholstery, such as muted cream, charcoal, or warm grey, helps anchor the room without competing with the bold linework. Warm timber pieces in walnut or stained oak complement the earthy brown undertones of the print, while black metal accents echo the deep charcoal lines to tie the space together. Keep decorative objects minimal and sculptural, leaning into an eclectic, contemporary, or boho-inspired aesthetic where texture and form provide balance.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design revolves around deep charcoal black, rich umber brown, warm earthy ochre, and soft, chalky off-white. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and architectural trim, a warm off-white or light stone tone keeps the room cohesive and bright while allowing the mural to stand out. If you prefer a richer scheme, pulling out the deep charcoal for a dramatic accent alcove, or selecting soft camel, sand, and taupe tones for larger textiles, will beautifully reflect the warm undertones in the artwork.
