Wallpaper - The Virgin

Our The Virgin wallpaper captures the expressive richness of Gustav Klimt's celebrated masterwork, bringing a fluid arrangement of sleeping figures wrapped in swirling decorative fabrics into large-scale wall format. Vibrant cobalt blues, deep purples, pinks, and fresh greens weave together in intricate floral and geometric motifs, standing out against a dark, nocturnal background. Flowers tucked into hair and curving drapery give the composition an artistic, dreamy quality that feels both decorative and deeply considered. Printed to your exact wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design transforms a classic piece of Art Nouveau heritage into an immersive focal point for the home.

In the room

Because of the rich concentration of color and detailed figurative forms, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, dedicated study, or private studio. The composition has a distinct focal weight where the intertwined figures cluster, so giving our wall murals a generous, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full sweep of the drapery and surrounding dark background to frame the space naturally. In larger living spaces, positioning the main motif behind a low sofa or seating arrangement keeps the intricate upper details in clear view without competing with everyday room traffic.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and dynamic palette take center stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively quiet and grounded.

• Pair with dark or mid-tone painted wood furniture that echoes the deeper background tones without introducing competing decorative details.
• Introduce plain velvet or smooth matte upholstery in muted navy or soft plum to pick up the textile qualities in the artwork.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal, allowing the visual rhythm of the mural wallpapers to define the character of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a vibrant core of cobalt blue, violet, rose pink, and emerald greens set against deep ink tones. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend pulling out a soft slate blue or a desaturated navy to create a cohesive, enveloping atmosphere. If you prefer a lighter contrast, a muted dusty mauve or a chalky off-white will keep the surrounding room bright while letting the rich jewel tones in our wallpapers remain the primary focus.
