Wallpaper - Glimpse of Gold I

Our Glimpse of Gold I wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly composition to life through sweeping strokes of white, soft beige, and warm gold. Designed by Chris Paschke, the artwork captures the visual depth of oil paint on canvas, balancing bold, gestural sweeps against an open, brilliant white backdrop. The interplay between quiet neutral layers and fluid gold accents creates a sense of gentle movement across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an artistic focal point while keeping the overall atmosphere light and balanced.

In the room

In a spacious living room, we see this design working particularly well on a broad, uninterrupted wall where the full sweep of the brushwork has space to breathe. Because the composition relies on open white space alongside dynamic strokes, it brings visual energy to a room without feeling heavy or crowded. We also like this mural wallpaper behind a desk in a dedicated home office, where the fluid movement creates an inspiring backdrop that remains clean and uncluttered. If you are working with an open-plan layout, placing this design behind a seating area helps define the zone while maintaining an airy, modern feel.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines to complement the expressive nature of the brushstrokes. Sofas or armchairs upholstered in soft, textured fabrics like boucle or woven wool in off-white, cream, or light grey allow the wall to remain the primary visual feature. To pick up on the gold tones in the artwork, consider incorporating warm metallic accents in lighting fixtures, architectural hardware, or slender table legs, without overwhelming the space with high-shine surfaces. Low-profile furniture works especially well here, ensuring the fluid vertical and horizontal sweeps of the design remain visible across the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a palette of brilliant white, muted beige, and warm gold highlights. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, we suggest working with warm off-whites, pale chalky creams, or soft stone tones that echo the background and lighter brushstrokes. If you want to introduce deeper contrast in surrounding decor, rich charcoal, deep taupe, or warm ochre in cushions, ceramics, or upholstery will anchor the space while harmonising with the gold elements in the motif.
