Wallpaper - The Kiss

Our The Kiss wallpaper brings Gustav Klimt's iconic turn-of-the-century masterpiece into a large-scale format. The composition captures two figures embraced on a meadow dotted with small floral details, enveloped in decorative robes filled with contrasting geometric motifs, from rectilinear blocks to concentric circles and spirals. Rich golden and sunflower yellow tones dominate the visual field, balanced by touches of green, red, purple, and blue. Produced to order as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design features a subtle structure in the paper that complements its artistic character.

In the room

Because the motif carries such a strong visual identity and a concentrated central composition, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or dining room. Placing it on a wall behind a bed or behind a dining table allows the central figures and decorative meadow to become the natural focal point of the space. In a hallway or entryway, the warm golden palette creates an inviting, art-led arrival. While the design has an intricate level of detail, the surrounding background provides visual breathing room, making it equally suited to more compact rooms where a single wall mural can define the entire atmosphere.

Styling it

To balance the rich decorative density of Klimt's artwork, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture and architecture relatively clean-lined and quiet. Modern or mid-century silhouettes prevent the space from feeling overly formal, while eclectic or vintage pieces can lean naturally into the Art Nouveau heritage. Darker wood finishes or painted cabinetry provide a grounding contrast to the bright golden palette, while solid textiles in deep jewel tones or neutral weaves keep the focus centered on the wall without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by radiant gold, sunflower yellow, and warm ochre, with subtle accents of meadow green, red, soft blue, and lilac. To build a cohesive palette around it, consider pairing the mural with deep forest greens, navy, or rich charcoal on adjacent walls, woodwork, or cabinetry. For a softer and more open ambiance, warm off-whites, parchment tones, and muted clay shades echo the lighter elements of the composition while allowing the golden hues to stand out.
