Wallpaper - Glimpse of Gold II

Our Glimpse of Gold II wallpaper brings expressive abstract art to the wall with broad, dynamic sweeps of white paint over a calm ground of soft beige and subtle gray. Created by Chris Paschke, the composition balances bold, layered brushwork with delicate, scattered gold accents that catch the eye and give the artwork an open, modern presence. We especially like the visual depth created by the oil paint textures, where heavy impasto strokes sit naturally against quieter background areas. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an art gallery aesthetic to both expansive living areas and intimate spaces.

In the room

Because the motif relies on sweeping, painterly gestures and generous breathing room, we see this working exceptionally well on a main living room wall. Giving the wallpaper a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full movement of the brushstrokes to unfold across the space without feeling clipped.

In a bedroom, we like placing our design on the wall behind the headboard, where the balanced tones of white, beige, and warm gold create a refined, restful backdrop. The design also performs beautifully in rooms with ample natural light, where subtle variations in the gray undertones and the painterly textures become easier to appreciate throughout the day.

Styling it

We recommend letting the visual expression of the brushwork lead the room, balancing it with furniture that features clean architectural lines or gentle organic curves.

• Choose low-profile furniture in light neutral upholstery or warm wood finishes to anchor the room without competing with the fluid brushwork on the wall.
• Introduce understated warm metallic accents, such as brushed brass lighting or bronze hardware, to echo the scattered gold highlights in the artwork.
• Ground the seating or sleeping area with a solid, woven rug in natural wool or cream tones to provide grounding texture while keeping visual focus on the mural.

Color combinations

The wallpaper's palette is built on a versatile foundation of creamy white, soft neutral beige, and muted gray, punctuated by warm gold elements.

For surrounding walls and baseboards, we suggest pairing this design with off-white, light warm gray, or gentle ivory paint colors that blend into the artwork's backdrop. If you prefer higher contrast, deeper charcoal or rich espresso wood tones in your cabinetry and furniture will sharply define the lighter painterly strokes. Earthy accent tones such as warm camel, ochre, or pale sand also work naturally alongside the golden details.
