Wallpaper - The Starry Night

Our The Starry Night wallpaper brings Vincent van Gogh's iconic 1889 masterpiece into your interior on a grand scale. The composition is defined by sweeping, swirling waves of deep cobalt and midnight blue across the night sky, punctuated by glowing golden stars and a luminous crescent moon. In the foreground, the dramatic silhouette of a cypress tree rises tall on the left, anchoring the fluid motion of the sky above a quiet, stylised village and rolling hills. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural with a subtle structure in the paper, this design transforms fine art into an expressive focal point.

In the room

Because the motif carries such strong visual rhythm and movement, we think it works best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the sky and the height of the cypress tree can be appreciated together. In a living room, placing this design behind a low sofa keeps the dramatic sky fully visible while creating a rich, atmospheric backdrop. In a bedroom, it works naturally behind the bedhead, setting a calm, nocturnal mood through its deep blue tones. The design is also particularly well suited to a study, home library, or dedicated creative workspace, where the expressive oil paint texture brings character and depth to the room.

Styling it

To balance the intense movement and rich palette of this wall mural, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes.

Mid-century modern pieces, dark-stained timber, or classic heritage furniture create a natural dialogue with the nineteenth-century artwork without competing for attention. We would keep large upholstered pieces in quiet, solid neutrals like deep charcoal, soft grey, or warm stone, which allows the vibrant cobalt and yellow in the wallpaper to take centre stage. If you want to introduce accent decor, subtle brass or warm metallic lighting elements will echo the golden glow of the painted stars and moon.

Colour combinations

The artwork's palette is grounded in deep midnight blues, indigo, and soft atmospheric cerulean, contrasted by intense golden yellows and warm cream accents. For adjacent painted walls, woodwork, and ceilings, we recommend taking cues from these core tones. A soft, muted off-white or light warm grey keeps the overall space feeling open and balanced, while a deep navy or rich midnight blue on adjacent surfaces creates an enveloping, dramatic atmosphere in an evening room or study.
