Ikat

Ikat Wallpaper: A Unique Style for Your Walls

Ikat is a traditional textile pattern with centuries of history in Asia and Africa. Its main characteristic is the geometric motifs that appear blurred, as they were originally achieved by dyeing the threads before weaving them.

Find this style at Sweet Papaya, which is translated into wall decoration with wallpapers for wall that provide an ethnic, sophisticated, and personality-filled air.

Advantages of Ikat Wallpaper in Interior Decoration

Ethnic and Boho Style for Different Environments

Ikat fits perfectly in boho-chic, modern, or even minimalist spaces looking for a distinctive touch.

It provides warmth and turns any wall into a focal point. Use it in a corner of the living room, and your guests will always point out its beauty.

Color and Texture Combinations

The interesting thing about this style is that it adapts to both neutral tones and bolder combinations.

An ikat pattern in beige or gray works in tranquil bedrooms, while a blue or mustard colour transforms the living room into a vibrant space.

How to choose ikat wallpaper according to the room?

• Living and dining room: In main rooms, it works well as an accent wall. Picking an ikat pattern in soft colours helps avoid overwhelming the space.
• Bedroom: Here, discreet and relaxing designs are ideal, especially behind the bed. The result is cozy and elegant.
• Kitchen and small spaces: A more geometric ikat pattern in light tones can visually expand the space and give it a fresh feel.
