Purple wallpaper murals

How purple behaves on a wall

Pale lilacs go grey and cold in low light, which is why they so often disappoint. Deep aubergine and plum are the opposite: they behave like navy, reading nearly black at night and unmistakably purple by day, and they make gold look extraordinary.

What to put purple next to

Deep purple with brass, cream and dark timber reads rich rather than dated. Purple with orange and ochre is an old pairing that still works. Keep purple away from cold blue-greys, which drain it.

How ordering works

Every mural is printed to the wall size you enter, so there is nothing to cut down and nothing left over. Measure the wall at its widest and tallest point, type those numbers in, and the price updates as you go. Every panel is printed with a trim allowance on each edge, free, for a clean finish at the ceiling and baseboard.

Five materials cover almost every wall: Non-Woven if the wall is smooth and the mural is staying, Textured if the wall has small flaws to hide, Premium Textile when you want the print to read like a painted canvas, Peel & Stick if you rent or change your mind often, and Canvas Peel & Stick for a canvas surface that still goes up without paste. Order a sample of any of them first — it is the cheapest way to see how a colour behaves in your own daylight.
