Wallpaper - Queensgate Purple Black

Designed by Tanja Smedh, our Queensgate Purple Black wallpaper brings together an intricate, symmetrical arrangement of interwoven floral, fruit, and leaf motifs set against a deep black ground with subtle navy undertones. Braided vines in dark pink and rich greens create a structured, tapestry-like composition with the visual depth of an oil-painted artwork. The balanced damask repeat lends the pattern a composed, heritage feel that draws the eye across the entire surface. Printed as a made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings refined character and depth to any interior.

In the room

Because of its balanced symmetry and rich, dark ground, this design works especially well in spaces where you want to create an intimate, enveloping atmosphere. In a dining room or a dedicated study, we like using it across all four walls, allowing the repeating vines and deep palette to frame the room cohesively. The disciplined layout ensures the dense botanical detail never feels chaotic, even in more compact rooms like a powder room or dressing room.

In a bedroom or living room, our wallpaper makes a handsome focal point behind a headboard or sofa. If your room features architectural elements such as dado rails, panelling, or traditional mouldings, installing the pattern above the woodwork helps ground the deep tones while celebrating the Regency-inspired structure of the motif. Generous daylight highlights the subtle variations between the deep greens and dark pinks, while softer artificial lighting in the evening deepens the contrast against the dark background.

Styling it

When styling around such an intricate pattern, we suggest letting the wallpaper act as the primary visual anchor in the room.

• Pair the deep backdrop with dark or warm mid-tone woods like walnut, stained oak, or mahogany to reinforce the classic, heritage character of the botanical forms.
• Introduce upholstery or drapes in heavy, matte woven textiles such as velvet, wool, or textured linen in solid tones to balance the detailed floral repeat.
• Accent the room with warm metal finishes like aged brass, antique bronze, or muted gold on lighting and hardware to catch the light against the dark palette.

Colour combinations

The pattern itself is anchored by a rich black foundation with deep navy nuances, detailed with dark rose pink, muted berry tones, and shaded forest greens.

When choosing adjacent wall colours, trim paints, or larger furnishings, we recommend leaning into the design's natural palette:

For a bold, moody look, draw out the underlying tones of the wallpaper with deep ink blue, blackened green, or charcoal on baseboards, doors, and trim. If you prefer subtle contrast, a muted rose or dusty plum on surrounding walls echoes the floral details without competing with the motif. For a lighter, more balanced approach, pairing the design with soft off-white, chalky parchment, or warm stone creates a clean, classic frame around the dark mural wallpapers.
