Wallpaper - The Kiss

Our The Kiss wallpaper translates Gustav Klimt's iconic turn-of-the-century masterpiece into an expressive wall feature. Wrapped in shimmering gold and sunflower yellow tones, the composition centres on two lovers embraced amidst intricate geometric patterns, from dark rectangular motifs to colourful circular shapes. At their feet, a meadow scattered with delicate purple, blue, and red floral details grounds the decorative splendour. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring classic Art Nouveau artistry straight to your interior.

In the room

Because of the strong central focus and rich ornamentation of this artwork, we especially like using this design on a main feature wall where the figures have space to command attention. In a spacious living room, placing the wallpaper behind a sofa creates an immediate focal point that anchors the entire seating area. In a bedroom or guest room, it works naturally behind the bedhead, giving the space an intimate, warm character. The golden yellow background also brings an inviting atmosphere to an entryway or dining room, particularly across an uninterrupted wall where the full detail of the meadow and robes remains clearly visible.

Styling it

When styling around such an ornate fine art design, we recommend balancing the visual richness of the pattern with quieter, considered furnishings.

In an eclectic maximalist interior, you can echo the historic Art Nouveau feel with vintage dark wood furniture or mid-century silhouettes. For a more contemporary setting, clean-lined upholstered pieces in neutral, solid fabrics keep the focus firmly on the wall without competing with the intricate geometric robes. Warm brass hardware or subtle metallic accents elsewhere in the room connect naturally to the golden tones of the painting, while keeping surrounding decorative clutter to a minimum lets the artwork breathe.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on warm sunflower yellow, shimmering gold, and earthy ochre tones, balanced by deep black shapes and accents of meadow green, soft red, cornflower blue, and lavender purple.

To complement these shades on adjacent walls or large furniture:

Deep charcoal or soft black creates a striking, moody contrast that pulls out the geometric details in the robe. Rich forest green or warm olive ties into the floral meadow base, grounding the golden warmth. Soft linen beige or warm ivory on neighbouring walls and trim keeps the surrounding space bright while letting the vibrant yellow and gold tones take centre stage.
