Wallpaper - Egyptian Ornaments - Khnum

Inspired by historic ornament, our Egyptian Ornaments - Khnum wallpaper brings together stylized geometric bands and graphic botanical motifs in a rhythmically structured frieze design. The composition is built across distinct horizontal registers: an upper band of rich green arches and fine striped details, a central row of teardrop petals in scarlet red, deep green, and soft grey, and a bold lower section featuring warm ochre roundels anchored by scarlet and green stems. Printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our made-to-measure wallpapers deliver crisp graphic definition and rich colour contrast that make an immediate visual statement in living rooms, hallways, and dining areas.

In the room

We particularly like this design where its horizontal bands and strong graphic rhythm can be displayed across a wide, continuous wall. In an entryway or hallway, the elongated frieze structure draws the eye naturally through the space, creating a sense of movement and architectural interest. It works equally well in a dining room or home office as an expressive feature wall, where the defined geometric registers add structure without overwhelming the entire interior. Because the pattern relies on high visual contrast and distinct horizontal segments, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the repeating motifs to be appreciated in full.

Styling it

The graphic, block-print character of the motif pairs naturally with mid-century modern, retro, or Art Deco-inspired furniture shapes. We recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively simple in form and silhouette so the wallpaper remains the primary focal point of the room. Warm wood finishes, such as teak or medium oak, complement the earthy warmth of the ochre and scarlet accents, while matte black accents in lighting fixtures or metal frames echo the crisp outline work within the pattern.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a dynamic palette of scarlet red, forest green, warm ochre yellow, and muted grey against an off-white background. For surrounding surfaces, we suggest pairing it with soft warm white or pale stone on adjacent walls to keep the room open and let the bold pattern stand out. To create a more saturated, cohesive look, you could draw out the deep green or muted grey for painted trim, skirting boards, or larger upholstered furniture.
