Wallpaper - Vintage Fashion Cover IX

Our Vintage Fashion Cover IX wallpaper captures the spirited glamour of 1920s editorial illustration. In this design, a chic figure in an elegant gown interacts with a mythical red dragon, creating an imaginative blend of Art Deco sophistication and playful Chinoiserie inspiration. Clean ink linework and soft watercolour-like washes define the characters against a warm beige backdrop, framed by bold diamond geometry and vibrant pink highlights. Printed to order and completely PVC-free, our wallpaper paper features a subtle surface texture that gives this vintage motif a refined finish on the wall.

In the room

Because of its narrative character and defined central composition, this design works particularly well as a focal point. In a dressing room, bedroom, or home office, we like to place it on an uninterrupted wall where the full figure and dragon motif remain unobstructed by tall shelving or wardrobes. The warm background keeps the design inviting, while the crisp graphic outlines give it plenty of presence from across the room.

For smaller, more intimate spaces such as a powder room or an entry hall, the illustrative style brings an immediate sense of personality. In a dining room or living room, we suggest positioning our mural wallpapers behind lower furniture, such as a credenza, a tailored sofa, or a dining table, allowing the dynamic interplay between the characters to remain visible at eye level.

Styling it

When decorating around this design, we recommend letting the distinctive 1920s aesthetic lead your choices while keeping surrounding furniture relatively streamlined.

• Pair with sleek, dark-stained timber or lacquered surfaces that echo the crisp black linework in the illustration without competing for attention.
• Incorporate accents in polished brass or aged gold to naturally reflect the warm beige background and Art Deco origins of the artwork.
• Choose understated upholstery in velvet or smooth woven textiles, pulling in deeper berry or muted rose tones to complement the pink accents in the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a foundational base of warm beige and soft cream, punctuated by vivid pink, ink black, and fiery red details.

To create a cohesive interior around it, we suggest looking to gentle neutrals for adjacent walls and trim. A soft biscuit, warm alabaster, or muted blush paint will harmonize naturally with the background tones. If you prefer a bolder, moodier contrast, a deep charcoal, rich plum, or vintage claret on surrounding joinery or doors will highlight the striking ink lines and rich colours of the central figures.
