Wallpaper - Black and Gold Geometric VIII

Designed by Shirley Novak, our Black and Gold Geometric VIII wallpaper pairs sharp geometry with the textured character of oil-painted brushstrokes. A bold interplay of diamonds, chevrons, and vertical linear stripes creates a confident graphic structure across the wall, grounded by deep black tones and warm gold accents over a soft cream base. The layered strokes give the abstract forms a painterly, handcrafted feel rather than a rigid digital edge, making it an expressive statement piece for contemporary living spaces. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and tailored to your room.

In the room

In an open-plan living room or dining room, we would give this wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a dining table or low sofa so the larger geometric repeat and oil-paint texture can be seen in full. Because the contrast between the deep black and gold elements carries substantial visual focus, it functions exceptionally well as a standalone feature wall. In a home office, library, or study, hanging the pattern across the primary wall brings a strong, creative rhythm to the workspace. For more compact residential settings such as a hallway, entry, or powder room, the directional chevrons and stripes add a sense of height and vertical movement across smaller wall sections.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper serve as the primary pattern in the space, balancing its strong graphic presence with quieter, tactile furnishings.

• Pair the warm gold highlights with dark wood furniture, such as walnut or smoked oak, to ground the space and complement the deeper tones in the motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large soft furnishings in calm, textured neutrals like ivory bouclé, raw linen, or warm off-white canvas to let the painted geometry stand out.
• Introduce understated metallic accents in muted antique brass or blackened steel to echo the gold and black line work without competing with the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is composed around a core palette of deep charcoal black, rich gold accents, and a warm cream ground. When painting adjacent walls or selecting woodwork trim, we suggest pulling directly from the lighter cream undertones to keep the surrounding space bright and cohesive. For a more dramatic and enveloping atmosphere, especially in a library or dining area, painted woodwork in a rich near-black creates a seamless, grounded connection to the darker geometric shapes. Warm ochre, tobacco, and earthy terracotta work beautifully in smaller accent pieces to naturally pick up the golden highlights in the artwork.
