Wallpaper - Rainbow Face Paint

Our Rainbow Face Paint wallpaper mural, created with artist Kate Jarvik Birch, brings an expressive pop-art energy straight into the room. A striking portrait forms the centrepiece of the composition, where sweeping bands of vivid yellow, orange, bright green, and red run across the face in dynamic painted strokes. Crisp cobalt blue eyes and deep pink lips punctuate the design, balanced by warm skin tones and cool shadow detailing that give the facial contours clear structure and depth. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design turns a wall into an unapologetic artistic statement.

In the room

Because of the scale of the portrait and the intensity of the palette, we see this working best as a dedicated focal point on a prominent wall. In a living room or a creative home studio, placing the mural on an uninterrupted wall lets the full sweep of the brushwork and the gaze of the portrait command the space without feeling cut off.

It also adapts wonderfully to more personal zones like a vibrant teenage bedroom, a dressing room, or a hobby room where bold, playful design feels right at home. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the vivid contrast between the rainbow strokes and the cobalt blue eyes stands out with crisp clarity. If you are placing it in a room used primarily in the evenings, warm interior lighting brings out the deeper red, orange, and skin-tone pigments, giving the mural an inviting, ambient warmth.

Styling it

When styling a room around a mural wallpapers design this expressive, we recommend letting the wall lead the visual narrative and keeping the major furniture pieces grounded.

• Pair the wall with clean-lined contemporary furniture in neutral tones, such as charcoal, off-white, or muted grey, so the seating does not compete with the strong facial features.
• If you want to lean into an eclectic or maximalist interior style, introduce one or two solid accent pieces that pull directly from the artwork, like a cobalt blue armchair or a lacquered side table in warm ochre.
• Choose matte finishes and smooth textures for nearby cabinetry or shelving, which create a calm visual frame around the energetic brushstrokes.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper brings together intense primary and secondary tones alongside natural skin shades. Key colours within the design include vibrant cobalt blue, rich pink, sunny yellow, grass green, tangerine orange, and deep crimson, grounded by warm tan and shadowy charcoal undertones.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest soft, muted shades that give the artwork room to breathe. A pale mineral grey, a soft clay beige, or a clean warm white on surrounding surfaces will keep the focus squarely on the mural. If you prefer a darker, moodier atmosphere, pairing the wallpaper with deep navy or near-black walls makes the neon-bright facial stripes pop with dramatic intensity.
