Wallpaper - The Starry Night

Our The Starry Night wallpaper brings Vincent Van Gogh's celebrated 1889 oil painting onto a large architectural scale. Dynamic, swirling cobalt and navy brushstrokes dominate the turbulent night sky, punctuated by glowing, ringed yellow stars and an illuminating crescent moon. Anchoring the left side of the composition, a dark, rising cypress tree reaches toward the sky above a quiet village and rolling hillside. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper captures the painterly texture and expressive motion of a true fine art masterwork.

In the room

Because of the sweeping motion and strong vertical presence of the cypress tree, we find this design works best on an expansive, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing the mural behind a low sofa allows the full drama of the swirling sky and glowing moon to remain visible across the room. In a bedroom, it creates a deeply atmospheric backdrop behind a bed frame, where the rich midnight blues set an enveloping, nocturnal tone.

The composition also suits dedicated creative spaces such as a home office, library, or study. With its deep color depth and prominent movement, we recommend giving the wallpaper room to breathe by avoiding tall bookcases or bulky furniture along the primary installation wall. In an entryway with sufficient viewing distance, it offers an immediate, captivating visual statement as soon as you step inside.

Styling it

The rich blues and animated brushwork provide significant visual energy, so we prefer surrounding this mural with grounded, quieter elements.

• Pair the deep blue palette with mid-tone or dark warm woods, such as walnut, to echo the historic character of the artwork without competing with its color contrast.
• Introduce understated textiles in natural tones like oatmeal, flax, or charcoal to let the complex brushwork in the sky remain the clear focal point.
• Balance the cool midnight tones with brushed brass or antique bronze accents, which subtly pick up the warm yellows and golds of the stars.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper consists of deep midnight blue, cobalt, indigo, and bright golden yellow, balanced by dark olive-black tones in the cypress and soft whites in the swirling sky.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls and woodwork, muted, neutral tones work exceptionally well. A soft off-white or light stone grey keeps the room feeling balanced, while a deep navy on surrounding trim can create a cohesive, wrap-around atmosphere. For furniture and decor, touches of mustard, ochre, or burnt amber connect directly with the glowing stars without overwhelming the room.
