Wallpaper - Royal Birds on Blue

Illustrated by Farida Zaman, our Royal Birds on Blue wallpaper brings together crowned songbirds, floating butterflies, and delicate botanical sprigs across a deep teal-blue ground. We especially like the contrast between the painted textures on the birds, detailed with soft pinks, warm yellows, and patterned wings, and the rich depth of the base color. Floral stems, berries, and patterned butterflies fill the composition with cheerful movement, giving the design an imaginative storybook character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, it offers a distinct, characterful backdrop that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the illustrated figures are scattered evenly across the teal backdrop, we see this working wonderfully on a feature wall in a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom. Placing it behind a crib, low bed, or reading corner allows the crowned birds and butterflies to sit at eye level, where smaller details can be enjoyed close up. The rich blue backdrop gives the pattern enough visual weight to anchor a play room or bedroom without feeling chaotic, while the bright pink, yellow, and turquoise accents keep the overall atmosphere light and welcoming. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, the full variety of flying butterflies and perched birds has plenty of space to unfold.

Styling it

To let the playful character of the wallpaper stand out, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively calm and grounded in simple silhouettes. Lighter wood tones like birch, ash, or natural pine work beautifully alongside the warm ochre and yellow shades in the bird illustrations. Painted furniture in soft blush pink, muted mustard, or warm off-white creates a gentle, harmonious connection with the palette without competing for attention. For bedding and window dressings, plain woven textiles or subtle waffle knits in neutral tones help balance the energetic motif on the wall.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a deep teal-blue foundation, paired with coral pink, golden yellow, turquoise, soft mauve, and leafy green. When selecting paint colors for surrounding walls, doors, or skirting boards, a creamy warm white or soft oatmeal keeps the room airy and lets the teal ground pop. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, you can pull the deep teal out to neighboring surfaces or window trims. Soft pastel accents in dusty rose or muted butter yellow on lampshades and cushions also tie directly into the warm tones of the birds.
