Wallpaper - King of Hearts

Our King of Hearts wallpaper by Farida Zaman reimagines the traditional playing card figure with an eclectic, graphic personality. Centred around a stylised king with bright green hair and a beard holding a martini glass, the composition brings together bold outlines with an expressive mix of bubblegum pink, vibrant red, soft grey, and green. Decorative geometric shapes and stylised floral patterns fill the king's robe, creating a structured yet playful symmetry. Produced as custom made wallpapers to your specific wall dimensions, this PVC-free design features a subtle paper texture and is easy to hang in any room that calls for a distinct graphic focal point.

In the room

With its strong central character and graphic symmetry, our design works best when given an uninterrupted wall where the full figure can take centre stage. We see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a modern living room or an entertaining area like a home theatre. The deliberate balance between vivid pinks and rich greens creates an immediate visual anchor, meaning the wallpaper can carry an entire room without needing busy decorative elements on surrounding surfaces.

Because the king figure is framed and symmetrical, placing it on a main feature wall behind a low sofa or a minimalist credenza keeps the artwork completely visible. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the crisp contrast between the black marker-style outlines and the bubblegum pink backdrop stays sharp and energetic, while under warm evening lamps, the red and green accents take on a deeper, moodier tone.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of this mural wallpaper lead the space, we recommend pairing it with streamlined, contemporary furniture that has clean silhouettes and minimal surface pattern.

• Ground the room with simple furniture in matte black or charcoal grey, which echoes the king's bold illustrative outlines without fighting the colourful artwork.
• Introduce soft furnishings in solid forest green or blush pink to gently pick up the tones from the king's crown and beard, keeping fabrics unpatterned so the wall remains the focus.
• Incorporate simple lighting with warm-toned bulbs to balance the cool pink and grey segments of the print, enhancing the playful atmosphere during the evening.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper centres on bubblegum pink, accompanied by primary red, rich leafy green, and balancing tones of cool grey and black. When decorating around this piece, we suggest pulling directly from these verified shades rather than adding competing tones.

For adjacent walls and skirting, a pale warm off-white or light chalky grey provides a calm backdrop that allows the pink and green palette to stand out. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, painting nearby woodwork or shelving in a deep olive or forest green creates a sophisticated connection to the king's hair and tunic.
