Wallpaper - The Virgin

Our The Virgin wallpaper brings Gustav Klimt's celebrated masterwork into the home with expressive swirling patterns, rich floral motifs and intertwined figures draped in vivid fabrics. Deep cobalt blues, purples, pinks and verdant greens stand out against a dark background, giving the oil-painted composition a dreamy, luminous quality. What we especially like about this mural wallpaper is the balance between fine decorative detailing and sweeping visual movement across the central form. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers an artistic focal point suited to spaces where expressive art takes centre stage.

In the room

In a living room or dedicated art studio, we would give this wall mural a wide, uninterrupted feature wall so the entire composition has space to unfold without visual disruption. Because the central cluster of figures and dense patterning creates a strong focal point, placing it behind a low sofa or along a main viewing wall keeps the intricate floral details clearly visible. In larger rooms with higher ceilings, the flowing vertical and curved lines draw the eye naturally upward, while in more compact spaces, the deep backdrop and vivid colours create a rich, enveloping atmosphere.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with relatively quiet surroundings that let the intricate artwork remain the focal point:

• Keep larger furniture pieces low-profile with clean, simple silhouettes to avoid competing with the flowing forms and dense patterning.
• Choose dark-toned timber or painted furniture in deep hues to echo the dark background of the artwork.
• Introduce soft velvet or matte woven textiles in solid tones drawn from the motif to balance the visual energy of the detailed patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep cobalt blue, rich violet, warm pink, emerald green and pale skin tones against a dark ground. When choosing surrounding colours, we suggest pulling directly from these deeper base shades with midnight blue, muted charcoal or soft plum on adjacent walls or joinery. If you prefer a lighter contrast, warm off-white or muted blush on neighbouring surfaces allows the cobalt and jewel tones to stand out with striking clarity.
