Wallpaper - The Louvre

Our The Louvre wallpaper brings the historic Parisian landmark into the home through a soft, watercolour-inspired architectural study. Created by artist Yvette St. Amant, the design centres on the iconic glass pyramid set against the museum's grand arched facades and classic domed rooflines, flanked by tall painterly trees under a soft, clouded sky. Rendered in gentle slate blue, soft grey and muted neutral tones, the composition balances detailed architectural lines with an open, fluid wash. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition relies on architectural perspective and horizontal balance, we find this design works particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing our mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the museum facade and sky to extend naturally across the upper wall without key architectural elements feeling cut off. In a study or home library, the measured composition and cooler slate blue palette create a thoughtful, composed backdrop behind a main desk or along a wall of low shelving.

Styling it

The watercolour-style line work and gentle blue-grey palette pair naturally with contemporary spaces that lean towards quiet, understated interiors. We suggest choosing furniture with clean, tailored profiles to echo the geometric structure of the pyramid while keeping visual clutter to a minimum.

For surrounding materials, matte black metal accents or muted dark bronze provide a subtle structural contrast to the architectural linework. Pairing the wall mural with upholstered seating in woven neutral textiles, such as off-white or light grey, lets the architectural motif remain the visual centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a refined palette of slate blue, architectural grey, muted neutrals and soft sky tones. When selecting colours for surrounding surfaces, adjacent walls painted in a soft grey, chalky off-white or a cool muted neutral will complement the background washes without competing with the illustration. If you want to introduce deeper contrast through woodwork, doors or cabinetry, a deep charcoal or muted slate blue drawn directly from the darker lines of the facade anchors the space effortlessly.
