Tribute to a Master

Beautiful Walls pay tribute to artist Gustav Klimt in new collection Academy

Family-run wallpaper retailer Beautiful Walls is honouring symbolist painter Gustav Klimt in a new collection inspired by his work.

Named Academy, the eight-strong range is based on Klimt’s research during the ‘Golden Period’, when the Austrian artist discovered Byzantine mosaics. The result is beautifully embossed designs and rich, warm colours in a clear tribute to Klimt.

Packed with texture and character, it features elegant lines, free brushstrokes and plenty of pattern.

Tim Dixon, who is the fifth-generation of his family to run Beautiful Walls, said: “We're thrilled to unveil Academy, a new collection paying homage to the visionary Gustav Klimt. 

“Klimt's art was a whirlwind of colour, texture, and emotion, and this collection captures that essence perfectly. 

“These stunning wallcoverings aren't just decorations, they're immersive experiences. Imagine transforming your space with the elegance of Byzantine mosaics, the vibrancy of Klimt's signature golds, and the captivating energy of his patterns.

“It’s a chance to bring the power and beauty of Klimt's masterpieces into your own home.”

The collection features Ritter Tiles – a colourful explosion of geometric styling and Kunst, a weave design overlapped with metallic lines to create a floral subtle impression.

But the centrepiece is the striking Adele Mural. Available in four colourways, it is bursting with graphics and touches which are synonymous with Klimt’s iconic work.

Tim added: “This mural isn't just decorative; it's a statement piece. It elevates your space, transforming it into a gallery-worthy masterpiece. Perfect for fans of Klimt’s portfolio.”

The Academy Collection is available now from Beautiful Walls, with prices starting at £160 per roll.
