Wallpaper - Sole Purpose

Created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, our Sole Purpose wallpaper brings an expressive, playful energy to the wall with its striking painted composition. The motif captures a pair of legs kicked upward, showcasing glossy red stiletto heels and bold polka dot tights against a textured, slate teal background. What we especially like about this mural wallpaper is the confident contrast between the vivid red shoes and the painterly, cool-toned backdrop. Printed as a made-to-measure wall mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, it adds a distinctive artistic character to any space.

In the room

This is a design with strong personality, and we see it working particularly well as an accent wall where the motif has room to be fully appreciated. In a dressing room, bedroom, or private home office, placing the wallpaper behind a low bench, desk, or vanity allows the dramatic upward movement of the legs to command the room without being obscured. Because the artwork functions like a large-scale painting, it thrives on an uninterrupted feature wall where its graphic shapes and rich colors can become the central visual focus of the space.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer pairing it with clean, contemporary silhouettes that let the artwork stand out. Sleek painted furniture or dark wood pieces provide a grounded counterbalance to the energetic composition. A structured lounge chair, minimalist shelving, or a polished brass floor lamp echo the glamorous, vintage-inspired tone of the red heels while keeping the overall room feeling modern and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a vibrant crimson red paired with cool slate teal, soft greyish blues, and deep charcoal polka dots. To complement these tones on adjacent walls and surrounding decor, we suggest working with warm off-white or soft cream to keep the space light and balanced. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the deep teal or introducing dark charcoal accents across rugs or upholstery creates a striking, cohesive relationship with the wallpaper.
