Wallpaper - Egyptian Ornaments - Bes

Our Egyptian Ornaments - Bes wallpaper brings an architectural rhythm to interior walls through a bold geometric frieze inspired by historic decorative motifs. The pattern is arranged in structured horizontal registers, contrasting pointed crests and arches in mustard yellow and cool grey against rich green triangles and vivid red droplets. Across the lower tier, stylised papyrus or lotus-like forms and hanging pendant motifs sit neatly on a warm dijon background, outlined with clean graphical lines. We produce each design made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an expressive focal point that celebrates vintage decorative art.

In the room

This is a wallpaper with a distinct horizontal cadence, which makes it particularly effective in spaces where the pattern can travel continuously along the wall. In a living room or home library, we find that placing this design behind low shelving, a credenza, or a tailored sofa lets the geometric borders anchor the room without being disrupted by high vertical furniture.

The graphic structure also works well in a dedicated study or home cinema. Because the repeat combines crisp geometric angles with a rich, earthy palette, it introduces decorative personality to compact or medium-sized rooms while maintaining an orderly, balanced feel across the walls.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest leaning into its Art Deco and 1930s heritage by choosing furnishings with strong silhouettes and understated finishes.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture such as teak or dark-stained ash, which complements the dijon and ochre tones without competing with the detailed pattern.
• Balance the geometric lines of the wall mural with rounded, upholstered seating in solid textured fabrics like bouclé or smooth wool.
• Introduce subtle metallic accents, such as aged bronze or antique brass table lamps, to reflect the architectural character of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by dijon yellow, slate grey, and crisp white, energized by pops of saturated pillar-box red and botanical green. To create a cohesive room scheme, consider pulling the muted grey or soft warm white from the motif onto adjacent walls, ceilings, and architectural woodwork.

For a moodier, more enveloping space, you can echo the deep forest green or dijon yellow on painted cabinetry, velvet cushions, or tailored curtains. These deeper surrounding tones help ground the red and yellow accents while letting the intricate details of the wallpaper take center stage.
