Wallpaper - King of Diamonds

Our King of Diamonds wallpaper is a graphic, sixties-inspired interpretation of classic playing card portraiture, created by Yvette St. Amant. The design centres on a stylised king dressed in sharp, geometric blocks of magenta pink, orange, and emerald green, complete with orange hair, tinted pink sunglasses, and a green cocktail glass. Framed by a vivid pink border with crisp diamond suit emblems and corner indices, the illustration sits against a warm off-white background that lets the bright palette pop. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on our subtle physical paper structure, this PVC-free wallpaper brings an expressive, retro energy to feature walls.

In the room

Because the motif is designed as a singular, large-scale graphic artwork, we find it works best as a dedicated focal point on a clear, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, dining space, or relaxed den, positioning the king behind a low sofa, credenza, or drinks cabinet gives the full composition space to breathe without cutting off the corner details or the framing border.

The vibrant character also makes it an engaging choice for a powder room, teenage bedroom, or playroom where you want to introduce a playful sense of personality. In rooms with clean sightlines from an entryway, the bold contrast immediately draws the eye and anchors the surrounding space.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the artwork's retro character and strong geometry, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture. Low-profile pieces in warm teak or dark-stained wood provide a grounded contrast to the vivid pink and orange tones without competing for attention.

When introducing textiles and surrounding decor, solid textures like flat-weave rugs or boucle work well to balance the sharp graphic lines of the motif. Polished brass accents or simple black metal details echo the card's retro pop aesthetic while keeping the overall room arrangement feeling intentional and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a striking palette of magenta pink, vivid orange, and bottle green set against a clean off-white background.

For the surrounding walls, we recommend pulling the off-white from the background onto adjacent surfaces to let the mural stand out crisply. If you want a more daring, colour-drenched look, matching trim or adjacent walls to the deeper bottle green or soft blush tones creates a cohesive, immersive environment. Natural wood surfaces and neutral stone elements also sit comfortably alongside the warmer pink and orange tones.
