Wallpaper - Indian Cucumbers

Our Indian Cucumbers wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly touch to classic paisley and ikat motifs, created in collaboration with designer Nicetoseeya. Fluid teardrop forms in earthy olive green and soft teal wash across a crisp white backdrop, layered over delicate vertical striations that evoke the character of hand-dyed ikat textiles. Subtle bursts of warm orange and deep indigo accent the centres of each boteh, creating a lively visual rhythm that balances heritage pattern with modern artistic flair. Made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings tailored character and artistic warmth to any wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bright living room or a dedicated creative studio where its visual rhythm and layered strokes can be appreciated up close. Because the repeating pattern has a rhythmic vertical cadence, it gives generous visual height to a main wall without overwhelming the space. On an uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa or reading nook, the large teardrop motifs create a confident focal point. In spaces with good natural daylight, the watercolor-like washes reveal gentle tonal variations in the olive and teal tones, keeping the wall feeling open and fluid throughout the day.

Styling it

The artistic, eclectic spirit of this design pairs beautifully with interiors that embrace personality and craft. We would lean into its painterly nature by pairing it with warm, natural materials and relaxed furniture silhouettes.

• Choose warm mid-tone timber like teak or warm ash to ground the earthy olive notes while letting the crisp background breathe.
• Introduce woven upholstery or textured linen in unbleached neutral tones to balance the energetic linework of the pattern.
• Bring in small decorative accents in matte terracotta or deep indigo ceramics that subtly echo the central motif colours.

Colour combinations

The palette inside our wallpaper centres on earthy olive green, washed teal, and a clean white background, energized by small highlights of bright orange and ink blue.

When decorating around it, we suggest keeping surrounding painted walls in soft, warm off-whites or pale stone to maintain an airy atmosphere. For trim and woodwork, a muted moss or deep olive drawn from the botanical scrollwork can frame the wallpaper handsomely. If you want to introduce contrasting upholstery or larger soft furnishings, deep marine blue or warm rust shades create a confident, cohesive dialogue with the motif's expressive core.
