Wallpaper - The Virgin

Our The Virgin wallpaper brings Gustav Klimt’s iconic artwork into a large-scale format, centered around a group of intertwined sleeping figures draped in vibrant, swirling fabrics and detailed floral patterns. Set against a dark, moody backdrop, the composition radiates rich cobalt blue, violet, rose, and soft green tones that give the entire scene a dreamy, expressive quality. Flowers woven into the figures' hair add delicate, fine detail to balance the undulating sweeps of fabric. Like all of our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the rich density and flowing composition of the artwork, we see this working exceptionally well as a focal point across an uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing the design behind a low sofa or along a main accent wall allows the full sweep of the figures and the detailed floral textiles to be viewed without visual obstruction. The deeper background gives the wall substantial visual weight, making larger rooms feel grounded and cohesive.

For an art studio or dedicated creative space at home, the intricate Art Nouveau ornamentation and classic masterwork presence bring depth and character to the entire room. In rooms with generous natural light, the contrast between the dark backdrop and the saturated cobalt and floral accents becomes particularly pronounced, letting the smaller decorative flourishes stand out clearly throughout the day.

Styling it

When working with such a detailed and decorative motif, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes relatively quiet and restrained. Low-profile seating and streamlined pieces prevent the room from feeling visually crowded alongside the swirling forms.

Darker wood finishes such as walnut or deep stained oak connect naturally to the dark base of the design, while subtle brass accents in lighting or hardware draw out the warm, golden undertones present in the painted ornamentation. Keeping large textiles like rugs and upholstery in simple, solid weaves allows the expressive pattern on the wall to carry the primary visual interest in the space.

Color combinations

Our design is anchored by deep cobalt blues, vibrant purples, dusty rose, and accents of leafy green, all resting on a dark ground.

To create a balanced interior, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with deep navy, midnight blue, or a muted charcoal to extend the atmospheric quality of the backdrop across the room. If you prefer a lighter, higher-contrast look, a soft stone, pale greige, or warm plaster white on surrounding trim and walls will frame the artwork cleanly. Accents in dusty pink, plum, or deep indigo in cushions and decorative ceramics provide an effortless visual connection to the fabric patterns within the painting.
