Wallpaper - Shakespeare Classics II

Our Shakespeare Classics II wallpaper, created by Omar Escalante, brings a graphic, theatrical presence to an interior wall. Set against a muted purple backdrop with subtle painted brush textures, the design centres on a striking white skull held aloft by a silhouetted black hand. Classic typography frames the illustration, featuring "HAMLET" across the top and the famous line "THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS, YET THERE IS METHOD IN'T" along the lower border. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a delicate surface structure, this design is simple to hang and creates an immediate focal point.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in a home office, study, library corner, or an expressive guest bedroom. Because the central illustration and typography form a cohesive, poster-style composition, we recommend placing it on a prominent accent wall where it can be viewed without heavy visual interruption. Giving it a dedicated wall behind a desk, a reading armchair, or a low sideboard allows the full quote and the bold contrast between the white skull and the dark silhouette to remain clearly legible.

Styling it

To balance the graphic clarity and literary mood of this design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated:

• Pair with dark-painted furniture or deep-toned timber to echo the solid black silhouette in the artwork.
• Use matte black metal accents in lighting or shelving to reinforce the clean lines of the typography.
• Keep surrounding textiles in quiet, neutral tones like charcoal, off-white, or muted heather to let the purple background lead the room's palette.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on a dusty, muted purple background paired with high-contrast jet black and stark white. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, soft off-whites and pale ash greys offer a calm transition that lets the mural stand out. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping atmosphere, deep charcoal, ink black, or dark aubergine create a moody, cohesive setting that complements the theatrical character of the piece.
