The client was inspired by Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss'. The painting focuses on romantic intimacy depicting a couple locked in an intimate embrace against a gold background. Paintings such as The Kiss are visual manifestations of fin-de-siecle spirit because they capture a decadence conveyed by opulent and sensuous images. Inspired by the opulence the client chose a wallpaper with strong gold geometrics. All the other walls including the wardrobe are kept dark blue to make the gold stand out.
