Wallpaper - Sole Purpose

Our Sole Purpose wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, features a bold, painterly composition of crossed legs wearing glossy red high heels and white polka-dotted stockings against a rich teal-blue backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the dynamic visual energy and playful graphic punch it brings to a wall. The painterly brushwork adds a soft, expressive character that balances the high contrast between the vivid red shoes and the monochromatic dot pattern. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design works brilliantly as a focal wall mural in a creative space or dressing area.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces where you want personality and visual flair to take center stage. It makes a striking statement on an accent wall in a bedroom, a private dressing room, or a walk-in closet, where the fashion-forward motif feels right at home. In a home office or creative studio, placing this wall mural behind a desk or seating area gives the room an instant point of interest without overwhelming the entire space.

Because of the scale and vertical orientation of the legs, we recommend giving this wallpaper a relatively open, uninterrupted wall. This allows the full composition of the heels and graphic polka dots to remain clearly visible rather than getting hidden behind tall furniture. In rooms with ample natural light, the subtle brushstrokes across the teal background and the highlights on the red heels show their full painterly depth.

Styling it

To let the expressive motif and vibrant red shoes remain the heroes of the space, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and relatively minimal in silhouette. Low-profile seating, sleek shelving, or simple painted furniture allow the graphic energy of the mural to command the wall without competing elements.

When choosing materials, quiet black metal accents or clean modern finishes echo the graphic black-and-white elements in the stockings. If you want to introduce warmer textures, soft neutral upholstery in off-white, light gray, or charcoal creates a comfortable, balanced contrast against the bold colors of the wallpaper.

Color combinations

The artwork centers on a vibrant palette of bold cherry red, deep teal blue, crisp white, and graphic black. The rich teal background provides a cool, moody canvas that makes the bright red heels pop forward dramatically.

When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, a muted slate blue or dusty teal can extend the background tone for a cohesive, wrapped feel. Alternatively, crisp off-white or soft charcoal on neighboring surfaces keeps the room feeling bright and open while framing the wall mural with clean contrast. For smaller decorative accents, picking up small touches of warm red in cushions or artwork can tie the whole scheme together.
