Wallpaper - Gossip Girls

Designed by Yvette St. Amant, this playful retro wallpaper brings 1950s beauty parlour glamour to life with graphic flair and character. Two stylish women sit beneath retro pink hooded hair dryers, gossiping and flipping through magazines against a soft seafoam green quilted wall and an olive and cream chequered floor. Expressive brushwork, bold fashion details, and vibrant contrasts in sunny yellow, sky blue, and bright red give our mural wallpapers a spirited narrative quality. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall covering, it features a subtle paper texture that complements the painted illustration style.

In the room

Because the composition centers on a distinct narrative scene, we like using this design where the entire artwork can be appreciated without heavy visual interruption. It works wonderfully as a feature wall in a dressing room or powder room, where the vintage salon theme naturally enhances the setting. In a bedroom, placing it along a wall with low furniture, such as a low bench or minimalist bed frame, ensures the figures and lively floor patterns remain fully visible. The vertical lines of the dryer hoods and tufted wall backdrop also lend themselves well to spaces with standard to high ceilings.

Styling it

To let the illustrative character of our wall murals take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that echoes its mid-century modern aesthetic. Clean-lined vanity tables, curved occasional chairs, or slim metal frames work nicely alongside the vintage salon theme.

• Keep large furniture low and streamlined so the central figures and checkered floor pattern remain unobstructed.
• Introduce glossy ceramic accents or polished brass details that pick up on the nostalgic 1950s parlour mood.
• Balance the active illustration by choosing solid textiles for curtains or bedding rather than competing busy prints.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a foundation of pastel seafoam green and soft pink, accented by energetic pops of marigold yellow, crisp white, cherry red, and olive green. For surrounding walls and woodwork, a muted seafoam paint creates a cohesive, enveloping look that extends the backdrop of the scene. If you prefer a subtle contrast, warm cream or soft linen white keeps the room feeling airy while allowing the bold red heels and yellow dress in the artwork to stand out.
