Wallpaper - King of Diamonds

Our King of Diamonds wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, brings a playful 1960s pop-art energy to a classic playing-card composition. The design centres on a stylised king sporting orange hair, pink sunglasses, and sharp, angular garments in pink, orange, and vivid green while holding a green martini glass. Framed in bright pink against an off-white ground, complete with bold diamond symbols and corner letter marks, this graphic motif delivers immediate character to an accent wall. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its central focal point and distinct playing-card border, we see this wall mural working best as a dedicated statement piece on a clear, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room, it anchors the space naturally when positioned behind a sofa or across a main entertaining area where the full graphic framing remains visible. It also makes a lively addition to a den, games room, home cinema, or a playful powder room, where the bold 1960s aesthetic sets a confident, sociable tone.

The graphic contrast is strong enough to hold its own in rooms with generous daylight, while warm ambient lighting in the evening highlights the vivid interplay between the magenta pinks and warm orange tones. For compact spaces like a teenage bedroom or a downstairs cloakroom, placing the design on a single feature wall lets the illustration bring personality without crowding the room.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive pop-art piece, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively clean so the artwork remains the focal point:

• Pair the wallpaper with mid-century modern or retro-inspired furniture featuring low profiles and warm timber finishes, which balance the graphic geometry.
• Echo the motif's colour palette in small doses throughout the room, using soft furnishings or decor in olive green, tangerine, or soft cream.
• Choose understated matte or lacquered surfaces nearby rather than competing busy patterns, giving the playing-card composition space to stand out.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around vivid magenta pink, bright orange, and sharp green set against an off-white backdrop. To create a cohesive look across adjacent walls, we recommend pulling out the softer off-white tone for surrounding painted surfaces to keep the room open and balanced. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping interior, deep olive greens or muted terracotta tones on adjacent woodwork and trim will complement the king's attire without clashing with the bright pink border.
