Wallpaper - Glimmer I Glimmer I Brushed

Our Glimmer I Glimmer I Brushed wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Julia Purinton, translates the expressive character of painted artwork onto the wall. The composition builds on vertical brushwork and dripping paint effects, where deep navy blue undertones ground soft layers of white and gray. Running through the center, a band of warm gold tones introduces a luminous, painterly shimmer that balances the cooler background. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its strong vertical movement, we see this wall mural working particularly well in rooms where you want to draw the eye upward and add visual height. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard creates a serene, grounded backdrop where the deep navy and gold tones can frame the bed naturally. The abstract, flowing composition also suits a living room accent wall, especially where the full vertical drip effect has space to unfold without being cut off by tall storage units.

For dining rooms and dressing rooms, the contrast between the darker base and the shimmering central band brings a rich, enveloping character to evening gatherings. If you are working with an entryway or hallway staircase, the upward flow of the brushstrokes emphasizes the architecture while establishing an inviting focal point as soon as you step inside.

Styling it

The balance of deep navy, muted grays, and warm gold allows this mural wallpaper to sit comfortably alongside both classic and modern furniture. We suggest keeping surrounding large-scale furniture relatively understated in form to let the visual movement of the painting lead the room.

• Pair the deep blue undertones with warm wood furniture, such as walnut or stained oak, to echo the warmth of the central gold streak.
• Introduce understated warm metal accents, such as brushed brass or antique bronze hardware and lighting, that pick up on the painted gold highlights without competing with them.
• Choose quiet, solid-colored textiles for upholstery or drapery in soft off-white, charcoal, or muted navy to maintain a balanced, cohesive environment.

Color combinations

The artwork is built upon a palette of deep navy blue, cloudy grays, clean white, and painted warm gold. When decorating the surrounding space, you can either lean into the moodier foundation or highlight the lighter elements.

For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, a soft, warm off-white or a neutral gray will keep the room bright and let the mural carry the visual focus. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with deep navy trim or cabinetry creates a cohesive, dramatic color-drenched look that amplifies the depth of the dark base tones. Accents in muted ochre, mustard, or caramel will naturally complement the central gold brushwork.
