Wallpaper - Shakespeare Classics III

Our Shakespeare Classics III wallpaper, designed by Omar Escalante, brings a graphic, theatrical presence to an interior. The composition centers on bold literary iconography inspired by Macbeth, pairing a prominent black crown with a stylized white hand clutching a dagger against an airy, soft blue painted background. Framed by crisp typography above and the famous quote "False face must hide what the false heart doth know" below, the design has the distinct visual character of an artistic theatrical poster. Like all of our wallpapers, it is PVC-free, produced made-to-measure to fit your room, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its central, poster-like composition, this design works especially well as a dedicated feature wall where the full graphic framing can be seen clearly. In a home office, study, library, or reading nook, placing this mural wallpaper behind a desk or opposite an armchair creates an immediate focal point. It can also suit a living room or entryway where an expressive, cultured design adds personality without overcrowding the space. Giving the wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the bold central crown and typography to stand out without competing with tall bookshelves or large cabinets.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with clean, structured interior elements that complement its graphic, literary quality:

• Anchor the space with mid-century modern or contemporary furniture featuring clean lines and warm wood or matte black frames.
• Choose surrounding upholstery and textiles in textured neutrals such as charcoal, slate grey, or crisp off-white to balance the stark contrast of the artwork.
• Incorporate simple lighting with directional spotlights or minimalist wall sconces to highlight the central artwork during the evening.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper revolves around high-contrast black and crisp white against a soft, muted sky-blue ground with subtle grey accents. For adjacent painted walls, a soft chalky white or pale grey will keep the room light while allowing the dark crown to draw the eye. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping atmosphere, styling the surrounding walls in deep slate, charcoal, or dark blue creates a striking continuation of the dramatic motif.
