Wallpaper - Glimmer I Glimmer I Brushed

Our Glimmer I Brushed wallpaper brings together expressive vertical brushwork, cloudy layers of soft grey and white, and a shimmering metallic-look band of warm gold running through the composition. Created by artist Julia Purinton, this abstract painting-inspired design features navy blue undertones beneath delicate dripping paint details and textured, atmospheric transitions. The vertical flow creates an elegant sense of height while the balance of cool greys and warm ochre-gold tones gives the motif a serene, grounded presence on the wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The vertical movement in this design makes it particularly effective in rooms where you want to emphasize ceiling height and create a quiet architectural focal point. In a living room or primary bedroom, we like using it on a wider uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or low headboard, allowing the central band of gold and the softer surrounding washes to be seen in full. Because the lower section carries deeper navy and charcoal undertones that gradually soften upward into pale grey and white, the pattern naturally anchors larger spaces without feeling visually heavy.

In a dedicated dining room, home office, or dressing room, the painterly streaks bring subtle artistic depth that catches changing natural light throughout the day. The abstract composition works just as well across a feature wall in an entryway or staircase, where the upward sweep guides the eye naturally through transitional areas of the home.

Styling it

Because this design carries significant painterly detail and a distinct metallic-look central element, we recommend balancing it with tailored furniture that has clean, architectural silhouettes rather than overly busy ornamentation.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile upholstered seating in textured cream, warm taupe, or soft grey fabrics to maintain the design's calm, layered mood without competing with the vertical brushstrokes.
• Incorporate warm wood furniture, such as natural walnut or muted oak, alongside subtle antique brass or brushed gold lighting fixtures to quietly echo the warm metallic-look accents in the artwork.
• Keep surrounding textiles relatively simple, choosing matte woven rugs and solid drapery in off-white or charcoal to let the vertical flow of the wall mural remain the primary visual statement.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around a blend of deep navy blue, cool slate, cloudy grey, soft off-white, and warm golden ochre. When selecting surrounding wall paint and woodwork, soft off-whites and pale greige provide a seamless, airy transition that lets the artwork stand out naturally. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a dining room or study, deep navy or slate blue on adjacent walls or trim beautifully draws out the dark base tones of the motif.
