Wallpaper - Matarka

Our Matarka wallpaper, created by Julia Dreams, combines the geometric rhythm of classic mosaic tilework with an expressive, heritage-inspired sensibility. The repeating square composition pairs bold star-like rosettes in deep navy blue with smaller framed diamond motifs accented in muted green and warm earthy tones, all set against a soft off-white ground. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the subtle painted texture within the shapes, giving the geometric layout a soft, crafted character rather than a sharp graphic edge. Made-to-measure and entirely PVC-free, this design brings rich visual structure and historic charm to any room.

In the room

Because of its balanced, mid-scale geometric repeat, we find this wallpaper adapts effortlessly to both intimate entryways and larger living spaces. In an entryway or hallway, where walls are often broken up by doorways and coat racks, the orderly grid maintains its visual continuity without feeling interrupted. In a living room, it works wonderfully across an accent wall behind a sofa or reading nook, where the star motifs create a striking architectural backdrop. If you have higher ceilings or period picture rails, installing the wallpaper below the moulding gives the space a tailored, heritage feel while letting the room breathe.

Styling it

To complement the traditional mosaic feel of the pattern, we would lean towards classic or vintage-led interior pieces with clean, honest silhouettes. Darker wood furniture, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or stained oak, anchors the deep navy tones in the repeat and reinforces the heritage character. For surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings, choosing understated, unpatterned fabrics in off-white, oat, or deep indigo allows the wallpaper to take centre stage without creating visual clutter. Muted brass or aged bronze accents on lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware also pair naturally with the warm undertones of the design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of deep navy blue, warm off-white, and subtle accents of olive green and soft terracotta brown. When planning your surrounding surfaces, we suggest drawing out the off-white ground for woodwork, doors, and adjacent walls to keep the overall atmosphere bright and cohesive. For a more dramatic, immersive scheme in a smaller room, painting adjacent trim or joinery in a rich navy that echoes the primary star motifs creates a sophisticated, cocooning effect. Deep forest greens or warm neutral tones also sit comfortably alongside the accent details.
