Wallpaper - King of Hearts

Our King of Hearts wallpaper brings a playful pop-art twist to the traditional playing card, designed by Yvette St. Amant. The motif reimagines the classic card figure with heart-shaped sunglasses, a curly moustache, and an ice cream bar in place of the standard sceptre, framed by mirrored graphic borders in vibrant pink, magenta, and warm orange tones against a clean white ground. The flat illustrative shapes and retro 1960s character give the design an upbeat, graphic identity that immediately catches the eye. Made-to-measure on our subtle, PVC-free paper, it offers a distinct graphic accent that turns any wall into a lively focal point.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a living room, teenage bedroom, den, or dressing room where you want to introduce strong colour and graphic energy. Because the mirrored card layout has a distinct central focus, we like to place it on an uninterrupted wall area, such as behind a sofa or opposite the main entrance to the room, giving the full vertical composition space to be appreciated. In a games room or creative home den, the bold borders and playful motif add instant character without requiring multiple framed artworks.

Styling it

The graphic quality and retro palette of this design call for surrounding pieces that balance its energetic personality. We would pair it with clean-lined contemporary furniture or retro 1960s shapes, keeping larger pieces relatively simple so the wallpaper remains the visual hero.

Low-sheen painted furniture in soft neutrals or muted tones works well alongside the crisp white background. To echo the pop-art spirit, you can introduce small decorative accents in glossy finishes or warm orange and pink details through cushions or table accessories, while avoiding overly ornate patterns that might compete with the clean linework.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is defined by striking magenta, vivid pink, and warm orange set against a bright white background. When decorating around it, we suggest keeping adjacent painted walls in clean, soft white or pale warm grey to let the saturated card borders stand out naturally. For a slightly bolder scheme, you can pick up the warm orange or deep rose tones in smaller accent pieces, painted woodwork, or upholstery, creating a deliberate colour connection across the space.
