Wallpaper - Kittredge Building

Our Kittredge Building wallpaper brings an architectural photograph by Nathan Larson directly onto the wall in rich monochrome. Viewed from a sharp upward angle, the masonry facade rises dramatically with ornate stone cornices, arched upper windows, and rhythmic window tiers set against an open, dark sky. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is the strong interplay between architectural precision and deep photographic contrast, giving the space an unmistakable urban character. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

In a living room or dedicated home study, we would give this wall mural a wide, uninterrupted feature wall to let the dynamic diagonal composition make its full impact. The strong vertical lines of the historic stonework draw the eye upward, making it particularly effective in rooms with generous ceiling heights. Because the dark sky occupies the upper left section of the composition, placing lower furniture, such as a low-profile sofa, sideboard, or desk along the wall allows the intricate window arches and masonry details to remain clearly visible without competing for space.

Styling it

To balance the bold contrast and architectural geometry of the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary or mid-century furniture. Upholstery in warm charcoal, deep slate, or camel creates an elegant dialogue with the monochrome print. Introducing warm timber accents, such as walnut or smoked oak, along with brushed brass or blackened steel fixtures helps soften the stark black-and-white tones, grounding the space in tailored warmth.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a clean monochromatic palette ranging from deep charcoal and jet black to soft stone greys and crisp off-whites. On surrounding walls, consider keeping adjacent paintwork understated with soft ash grey, warm off-white, or a pale plaster tone to let the mural stand out. For a more dramatic, intimate room scheme, deep slate or blackened navy on flanking walls and woodwork will seamlessly frame the design.
