Wallpaper - Fabulous and Glamorous I

Our Fabulous and Glamorous I wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a vibrant, expressive portrait to the wall. The composition captures the profile of a woman with curly black hair framed by a pink and yellow headscarf alongside bold yellow hoop earrings. Rich brushstroke textures blend warm browns and pinks across her face, highlighted by vivid pink lips and set against a saturated teal backdrop. The high contrast and painterly character give this design an unmistakable retro energy inspired by 1970s aesthetics. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a confident focal point for contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because Fabulous and Glamorous I is a striking figurative portrait with strong color contrast, we find it works best on a primary feature wall where the full figure has space to breathe. In a living room, positioning this design behind a low-profile sofa or along a main entertaining wall allows the artwork to establish the mood of the entire space. We also see it working exceptionally well in a creative home studio or hobby room, where its expressive character brings energy to the work environment. For rooms with generous natural light, the contrast between the warm saffron accents, bright pink tones, and deep teal background comes alive throughout the day. In spaces with softer evening lighting, the deeper tones in the hair and background recede, letting the warm portrait highlights take centre stage.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we recommend balancing the wallpaper with grounded furniture and thoughtful material choices:

• Choose furniture with clean, low silhouettes in warm mid-century wood tones, such as teak or walnut, which naturally complement the 1970s retro aesthetic without competing with the composition.
• Introduce upholstery in neutral, textured weaves or soft corduroy, keeping large seating areas quiet so the wall carries the decorative rhythm.
• Echo the vibrant palette through small, intentional accents, such as a saffron ceramic lamp base or a brass detail that reflects the warm yellow jewelry in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich foundation of teal, saffron yellow, warm pink, deep brown, and black. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, we suggest drawing from these shades to create a unified palette. A muted teal or soft warm stone on surrounding walls will keep the focus on the wallpaper while framing it smoothly. For doors, skirting boards, and window frames, an off-white or soft warm cream keeps the contrast crisp without the harshness of pure brilliant white. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, bringing deep ochre or muted terracotta into nearby cushions, throws, or painted cabinetry will tie directly into the warm tones of the portrait.
