Wallpaper - Heart of Glass

Designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Heart of Glass wallpaper centres on a large, expressive heart motif set against a painterly, atmospheric background. What catches our eye is the textural interplay across the design: deep indigo, slate, and frosty blue tones blend with textured brushstrokes and speckled, droplet-like markings that give the heart a tactile, weathered appearance. The composition carries an artistic, contemplative mood that makes a striking focal point in a contemporary interior. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are custom made to your dimensions to make decorating your room straightforward and personal.

In the room

Because of the scale and visual presence of the central heart, we see this design working best on an accent wall where the full composition has space to breathe. In a bedroom behind a headboard or in a calm creative workspace, the moody blue palette establishes a grounded, reflective atmosphere without feeling overly busy. If you are decorating a living room, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping contours and subtle tonal gradients in the background to remain fully visible.

In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the cooler slate and powder-blue undertones appear crisp and airy, while softer, warm ambient lighting in the evening brings out the depth of the darker navy and charcoal shades.

Styling it

To balance the expressive, painterly nature of the motif, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated in form and texture.

• Clean-lined furniture in matte black metal or cool-toned painted wood complements the deep indigo contours of the heart without competing for attention.
• Incorporate smooth textiles in crisp white, muted grey, or soft denim blue to echo the background brushwork and maintain a cohesive, restful scheme.
• If you want to introduce warmth against the cool palette, choose subtle accents in brushed brass or pale, natural ash wood to add gentle contrast.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around a nuanced range of blues, spanning deep ink, denim, and slate through to soft ice blue and chalky grey-white highlights.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, we recommend pairing the design with soft off-whites or cool light greys to keep the space open and let the central artwork stand out. For a moodier, more immersive interior, a rich charcoal or deep slate grey on adjacent trim creates a seamless, tailored frame around the mural.
